According to the American Psychological Association, personality refers to individual diferences in characteristic patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. In other words, it is the combination of characteristics or qualities that form an individual’s distinctive character.
The Greek Physician Hippocrates described the four temperaments, which were: sanguine, choleric, melancholic and phlegmatic. Most formulations include the possibility of mixtures among the types.
Sanguine: highly talkative, enthusiastic, active and social. This individual has a hard time doing nothing and uses to engage in more risky activities.
Choleric : Extroverted, independent, decisive, goal-oriented and ambitious. They are natural leaders.
Melancholic: analytical and detail-oriented, deep thinkers and feelers; usually introverted, thoughtful, reserved and anxious.
Phlegmatic: relaxed, peaceful, quiet and easy-going. They are sympathetic and care about others, yet they try to hide their emotions.
