Study Notes
Recognizing Personality Types
- Understanding the four temperaments (Sanguine, Melancholy, Choleric, Phlegmatic) improves relationships.
- Each temperament has unique social behaviors, body language, and communication styles.
Popular Sanguine
- Appearance/Behavior: Loud, talkative, exuberant, attention-seeking, always moving (wiggling, tapping, drumming), enters parties with enthusiasm, flitting between groups, hugs, kisses, and laughter.
- Communication Style: Exaggerated and exuberant speech, embellishing stories, not always truthful.
Powerful Choleric
- Appearance/Behavior: Hard to relax, sits on edge of chair, impatient with small talk, direct, assertive. If desired action is not clear, he will reach for it regardless of consequences (e.g., knock over centerpieces).
- Communication Style: Speaks in absolutes, tends to see others as inferior, enjoys arguing, will prove a point even if incorrect. Uses phrases like "I told you so," "Watch out, you dummy!"
Perfect Melancholy
- Appearance/Behavior: Quiet, unobtrusive entry, hopes to go unnoticed, reluctant to engage, often sits at the fringes, avoids attention.
- Communication Style: Negative self-image, expresses doubts and anxieties about projects/tasks. Uses phrases such as "You like this old thing?" or "I don’t believe they really want me on the committee."
Peaceful Phlegmatic
- Appearance/Behavior: Slow, relaxed entry, shows amusement at being at the event, sits in the most comfortable chair, possibly dozing off, quiet, almost blends into background.
- Communication Style: Uses indifferent clichés in conversation; responses include, "What does it matter?", "It’s always been that way…", etc.
Applying Knowledge
- Recognizing these personality patterns helps us anticipate and adjust to others' reactions in various settings.
- Never use this knowledge to judge or label people; instead use it as a tool to improve social interactions.
