Sanguine-phlegmatic - features mixed temperament

Temperament is a set of features of the nature of each of us. We are all personalities with our positive and negative sides, which creates character, of which temperament is a part. It has a direct impact on the life of a person who can not live without communicating with their own kind. Temperament, in turn, dictates to one degree or another the behavior of a particular person, who, for successful communication, must take into account personal characteristics and the person with whom he communicates at the moment.

This division was first made in the II century by an ancient Roman physician, surgeon and philosopher Claudius Galen, making a huge contribution to anatomy and psychology. Let us examine each temperament and give a detailed description.

These people are like a volcano in their behavior. Cholerics can often be hot-tempered and irritated. It is quite difficult for them to control their emotions, as for any, even the smallest, reason they can explode. Usually they are very enterprising and energetic people, with great zeal performing any work, but only one that will be to their liking. Because routine and monotonous work quickly tires them, as a result of which they lose at least some interest in it and become unproductive. It is worth noting that choleric people have a tendency not to bring the tasks to the end. This may hinder them enough in building a career in “office work”, but they can perfectly manifest themselves in creative professions - such as artists, musicians, etc.

This personality type is characterized by a balanced nervous system. Such people like to come in contact with others, easily able to adapt to new environmental conditions. Often, companies are in the limelight, these are called "the soul of the company." They are distinguished by expressive mimicry and pantomime. Sanguine, as well as choleric, emotional, but their feelings are not so deep and quickly pass.

Moreover, sanguine persons are permanently in a good mood. Their distinguishing feature from choleric individuals is greater self-control and patience. Very productive at work, but the most significant success from them can be achieved when the process itself carries them. Since they are more impatient and inattentive, only the work they like deprives them of these shortcomings.

This type is the most balanced of all. Such a person is very difficult to piss off or enrage, and if you succeed, they quickly calm down and come to their senses. Phlegmatic almost do not respond to psycho-emotional upheavals, do not know how to sincerely rejoice or empathize. They have low self-esteem and often underestimate their own achievements in the face of others. People with a phlegmatic temperament are simply a godsend for the employer, as they are able to perform a large amount of work and process a huge amount of information in the shortest possible time. And even if they do not like what they are doing, they will prefer to quietly carry it in themselves, without showing others their disappointment or resentment.Despite the amazing performance, it is difficult for them to find contact with other people, while having the ability to get along with all other types of temperament.

These are the people with whom it is difficult to find a common language, and in general to communicate. Melancholic, as opposed to phlegmatic, very vulnerable. They are characterized by quiet speech, timidity, hindered movements, hyperbolization. Also, probably the biggest drawback of melancholic is the tendency to suicidal thoughts and actions. There are cases where melancholic, unable to cope with difficulties, committed suicide. It is difficult for such people to go up the career ladder. Since any stress, whether it is the director's remark or the intensity of the work process, can strongly put pressure on a sensitive person and lead him to a nervous breakdown.

We have dismantled four main types of temperaments. Now it's time to talk about the fact that the so-called "pure" species do not exist. There are so-called mixed species. But now we will consider only one of them. Sanguine-phlegmatic is probably one of the most common temperaments. Its main feature is the perfect balance of concentration and emotionality. Sangvo-phlegmatic traits are sociability, positivity. Such a person can overcome any difficulties without any extra effort. Often these people have many friends, but they are able to calmly prioritize and are not prone to absent-mindedness. Such people like the bosses and appreciate in the team.

If we are talking about the union of sanguine and phlegmatic, then everything is ambiguous. In this tandem there is little understanding, but mutual assistance at the highest level. Such a pair can cooperate well with any field of activity. Since the eternal activity and fuse sanguine is compensated by the concentration and hard work of phlegmatic.

They simultaneously complement each other, coming to high results. Problems may arise during non-working hours due to the dissimilarity of interests because sanguine persons are often interested in active pastime. It can be different sports, such as football, boxing or snowboarding. And phlegmatic people will prefer reading books, drawing, playing musical instruments to all kinds of extreme sports.

Yes, it affects our lives. It depends on the speed of our reaction, behavior in a given situation. Temperament dictates the behavior that we adhere to in life. It has a direct impact on all our decisions. This can both positively and negatively affect us. There are frequent cases when people lost their jobs due to the short temper or, conversely, due to excessive vulnerability and isolation.

But this influence can be reduced and make it insignificant. For example, if you are a very emotional choleric person, try to look at yourself from the outside, imagine how your frequent “explosions” can offend people, you can also try to drink a course of sedation. If you are melancholic and this prevents you from living, then more often try to go out, enjoy nature and the company of other people. Remember, success is completely up to you!
