Description of your temperament

Your temperament is choleric. The choleric temperament is fundamentally ambitious and leader-like. They have a lot of aggression, energy, and/or passion, and try to instill it in others. They can dominate people of other temperaments, especially phlegmatic types. Many great charismatic military and political figures were choleric. They like to be in charge of everything. However, cholerics also tend to be either highly disorganized or highly organized. They do not have in-between setups, only one extreme to another. As well as being leader-like and assertive, cholerics also fall into deep and sudden depression. Essentially, they are very much prone to mood swings.

Tbh I don't think I'm a pure Choleric like this. But the only temperament I really do recognise in myself is Choleric yea. It's hard for me to see how I'd relate to Melancholic or Phlegmatic, but I must have some of either one in me, just don't see it too well. Sanguine should've been the lowest score I used to think I was Sanguine as a teenager but I understood since then that my sociability was always really Choleric sociability and not Sanguine, lol. It can be misleading at first.
