I have no idea what any of these words mean but it was fun. I am Sanguine, which probably accurately describes me. Tori and Olga are absolutely precious and make me giggle! And I admire your masterly responses Aletheia. You have a true gift. Love your site. PS Tori And Olga contact me we’ll go eat some mushrooms or something take a load off! I’m jk I haven’t done that in years. But that would be fun!
As of now, the moon isn’t considered a planet.
Hi Tori, thank you, but not sure how that is relevant to this test?
This test is totally wrong! I know I am a choleric, but it says I’m a patient and relaxed phlegmatic!!! Nobody who knows me would ever believe that.
That’s okay. Not all tests can be 100% accurate, especially those offered for free. As always, take anything you read or any result you get with a grain of salt. ;)
Wow, melancholic describes me really well. Except I do have a temper too…it’s about half the time I’m angry and half the time I cry. Also it’s not so much isolation because people don’t meet my standards… I don’t know why people dislike me, I don’t really say anything like this, but maybe I just give off a vibe, I don’t know.
Honestly, I never thought I would be a phlegmatic. I always thought I was a choleric because it runs in my family
Melancholic. I don’t know why that surprised me… I’ve been depressed for 11 years, and have just very recently gotten better (naturally only after a suicide attempt that’s left me crippled). I’ve gotten better because of my spirituality. Now I don’t look at life as (that) dreary. I see life as a classroom that my soul chose.
I have done 80% of your freebie tests and they have all matched my persona and life I am at awe and would like to thank you for them!!
Yes, this is me. I’m a strong intuitive empath. I’m an artist and I’m happy when I’m creating. I love and hate being around people.
I spent most of my life trying to make everyone happy, but I’m finally doing what good for me. I went through the dark night of the soul twice and I’ve done a lot of shadow work.
30 years ago I was supposed to go to art school. I finally have been given a second chance. Now I know why I feel such a kinship with Vincent Van Gogh.
I am also a perfectionist. I’ve realized how much this trait has hurt me. I’ve worked really hard to stop doing it. Great test!
The Melancholic result suits me except I am much more extroverted. I do value time alone, but I crave time with others and feel weird if I go a day without talking to someone. I tend to be the person that brings people together.
