Personality Types

There are 4 key personality types discussed in this book. They are Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholy and Phlegmatic. These are the natural personalities that a person is born with, and the person will inherit it through his whole life. Although a person can never change the personality that he/she has inherited, however, he/she can learn the other personality type's that he/she doesn't has. This unnatural personality is sometimes known as learned personality, that is, one that made conscious effort to achieve rather than something one has been all his life.

The basic desire of people with sanguine personality is to have fun. They can be described as someone who has good sense of humor, is adventurous, talkative and someone who likes to express their thought. They are usually popular and well-known people. In a party, they can be seen as the life of the party.

People with choleric personality are best at motivating people to action, controlling work activities and giving instructions.

They can be described as a leadership person.

Personality Combinations

A person usually has 2 combined birth personalities.
The natural combinations of personalities are Sanguine+Choleric, Choleric+Melancholy, Melancholy+Phlegmatic, Phlegmatic+Sanguine.
However, it is not possible for someone to have Phlegmatic+Choleric or Sanguine+Melancholy combinations of birth personalities. The reason is that both are on the extreme sidea of one another. Hence, those combinations are unnatural.

Most people have a dominant and a secondary personality, but these may vary greatly depending on the extent the degree of dominance the dominant personality has. Some people might also have balanced personalities between the dominant and secondary.
