TYPES OF TEMPERAMENTS. WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

I always ask myself this question ;"who am I? " I had no answer to this question until I begun the research about my personality. I have come to understand this fact that who I am is really the unseen Me.

Temperaments or Personalities is what all of us have been born with genetically inherited "behavioral tendencies "that are as much as our DNA , passed on from our parents unto us. Our personalities are the combinations of our environmental influence and our DNA. Scientific research has proved that all human personalities are classified into four major classes. These have further been broken into two broad categories : Introverts and Extroverts.
 Introverted personalities  are the melancholic and the phlegmatic . Introverts are more shy and "reserved " . They feel anxious about being in the crowd, particularly when singled out of the crowd.
Extroverts are the choleric and the sanguine. These personality types are more " outgoing", more sociable and more comfortable even when singled out of the crowd.
 It should be noted that all human beings have more than one of the personalities above. Therefore , the choleric and the sanguine can inherit some traits of the melancholic and the phlegmatic.
