TEMPERAMENT INFLUENCES EVERYTHING YOU DO

Ranging from sleeping habits, studying habit, eating style and in general the way you get along with other people, their no other influence in your life more dynamic than temperament or combination of temperament. Hence, it is so essential to know your temperament and to able to analyze other people’s temperaments, not to condemn them but accommodate them so you can maximize your potentials and enable them to maximize theirs.
HOWEVER, WHAT IS TEMPERAMENT?
Temperament is the combination of traits we inherited from our parents. No one knows where is abode is. Nevertheless, vivid research unveiled it to me that it is somewhere in the mind cum emotional centre (Lymphatic System). From that source, it combines with other human characteristics to produce basic makeup. Most of us are more conscious of its expression than we are of its function. A person’s temperament makes him/her outgoing and extroverted or shy and introverted. Doubtless, you know both kind people were born to the same parents. Similarly, it makes some people art cum music enthusiasts while others are sports or industry- minded. In fact, I have met outstanding musicians whose siblings were tone- deaf.
A person’s sex will also affect temperament particularly in the realm of emotions. The women usually considered more emotionally expressive than men are. Even the hardest of women will weep at times, whereas some men never.
MEET THE FOUR TEMPERAMENTS
The heart of the temperament theory as first conceived by HIPOCRATES over twenty four hundred years ago divides people into four basic categories, which he named SANGUINE, CHOLERIC, MELANCHOLY AND PHLAGMATIC. Each temperament type has both strength and weaknesses that forms a distinct part of his make up throughout life. Once a person diagnosis his own basic temperament, he is better equipped to ascertain what vocational opportunities he is best suited for and what natural weakness he must work on to keep from short circuiting his potential and creativity.
TEMPERAMENT AND THE EATING HABIT

I can almost judge a man’s temperament by his eating habits.

SANGUINES eat everything in sight and usually look it in restaurants. They so enjoy talking that they almost never look at a menu until the waiter or waitress arrives.
CHOLERICS are stereotyped eaters who seldom vary their menu from one day to the next and when it arrives, they bolt it down in big chunks, often taking while chewing their food.
MELANCNOLIES are very picky eaters. It takes them forever to make up their minds about to order but once it arrives before them they save every bite.
PHLAGMATICS are the most deliberate eaters of all and invariably the last one through eating that is the main reason they rarely gain weight

TEMPERAMENT AND DRIVING SKILLS

SANGUINES are erratic drivers. Sometimes they speed than for an apparent reason, lose interest in driving fast and slow. They are so people- oriented that they want to look you in the face when taking even while driving.
CHOLERICS are daring speed demons who dart in and out the traffic constantly. They always try to get more accomplished in a given period of time than is humanly possible and attempt to make up time by driving furiously between appointments.
MELANCHOLY motorists never leave home without preparing for the trip well in advance. They study the map and know the best route from A-Z of all temperament they are most likely to keep a complete log of their driving history including gas and oil consumption and car repairs legalists. By nature they rarely speed.
PHLAGMATICS are the slowest driver of all. The last one to leave an intersection, they rarely changes lane and is in indecisive danger when joining the flow of freeway traffic.
TEMPERAMENT AND STUDY HABITS

MELANCHOLIES are usually good students who enjoy learning. They have inquisitive minds and if taught to read well will have a ferocious appetite for books. They are blessed with keen retentive memory that enables them to remember a multitude of details. As a rule they are good spellers because they take mental picture of each word.
PHLAGMATICS can be good students if their procrastination doesn’t catch up with them. They need a series of short term assignment rather than long term projects.
CHOLERICS are clever as a rule but not brilliant. They like the people-oriented subject such as History, Geography, Literature and Philosophy. They may not be good spellers, because they skim over things so quickly. They are adept at speed-reading and have curious minds.
SANGUINES unless endowed with high intelligent quotients are not usually good student. They can be if they are motivated, because they are often bright enough but they are very restless and undisciplined and can be a distraction from a bird flying over head to a picture on the wall. These people have incredible potential but usually squander it because they don’t discipline themselves. Concentration for long period of time is difficult for them.

SUMMARY
We could go on giving illustration of how temperament influences the way you exercise sleep, hobbies, fashion and everything else in life, but these are enough to get you started in the right direction. As you get more familiar with temperament theory you will see it at work in your own life and that another person.
