The Four Temperaments Test
Sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic, or melancholic? The 2,000-year-old model, scored on two continuous dimensions.
The four temperaments — sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic, melancholic — are the oldest personality map in existence. Modern science kept the structure and renamed the axes: outward vs inward energy, and steady vs reactive emotion. This free 16-item test measures both.
Your temperament is the combination of your two results:
- Sanguine — outward + steady
- Choleric — outward + reactive
- Phlegmatic — inward + steady
- Melancholic — inward + reactive
About 4 minutes.
