It is amazing how quickly we can learn to spot these people and therefore know how to approach them correctly.

The Sanguines are the easiest to spot because they make grand entrances, love attention, attract people with their magnetism, exude charisma, and tell funny stories. What they want to hear from you is how attractive they are, how you like their hair, make-up, dangling rhinestone earrings, or anything else they have put on to ensure that you notice them. They live for the externals and want you to get excited over their clothes, sense of humor, or new red sports car. If you are a Melancholy, you will not naturally be given to praising the obvious and will feel that to laugh at the Sanguine's jokes and stories will only encourage them to babble on.

The Choleric Powerful Person is easy to spot because he walks with authority and appears to be in charge of everything. Such people don't want to waste much time on trivial activity with no obvious results or converse with people w ho have nothing to say of any consequence. They are frequently telling other people what to do and pointing out the "dummies" of life. They accomplish more than any of the other personality types, can quickly assess what needs to be done, and are usually right. They don't need to be affirmed on their looks, but they love praise for their accomplishment; their speed in problem solving; their constant goal setting, their loyalty to God, church, mother, business, or country; and their sense of fair play. If you are a Phlegmatic you get worn out just watching these people, but if you want them to be impressed with you, tell them how amazed you are at how much they accomplish in a very short time. They may never have noticed you before but they will suddenly see you as a person of great discernment.

The Melancholy Perfect Person is usually very neatly put together and intellectual looking. These people are usually quiet, reserved, and a little ill-at-ease in social situations where they don't know everyone. They would rather talk quietly with one person in depth than banter with a group. They consider compliments on clothes and external niceties to be trivial and want to hear about the inner virtues of integrity, wisdom, and spiritual values. They often marry Sanguines who can't find their way inside these deep virtues and who keep telling them how cute they look. When we don't understand these differences, we are giving out silver boxes that nobody wants. The Melancholy is very sensitive and easily hurt and tends to take what others say in humor as personal and hurtful. Since Sanguines and Cholerics say whatever comes to their minds without weighing their words, they often deflate the Melancholy who is waiting for someone to hand him a silver box that says, "I understand you."

The Phlegmatic Peaceful Person is amiable, easy to get along with, and relaxed. These people fit into any situation, blend in with the wallpaper, and modify their personality to get along without conflict. They laugh with those who laugh and cry with those who cry. Everyone loves the low-key nature of the inoffensive Phlegmatic, and though they aren't loud like the Sanguine, they do have a witty sense of humor. They often lean while standing and sit in comfortable recliner chairs if at all possible. They don't need a lot of praise like the Sanguine, nor do they want to be in charge like the Choleric, or get to deeply involved like the Melancholy. They do appreciate being noticed once and a while, being included in conversations that they won't push into on their own, and being told they are of value and their opinion is respected. Since they often marry Cholerics, whose idea of value is wrapped up in how much is accomplished in a given day, they don't get appreciated for their quiet and gentle spirit. They, in turn, find it difficult to praise the constant projects of the Choleric because it wears them out just thinking of them.

(Some of the above information was taken from Silver Boxes by Florence Littauer.)

Sanguine ~ A young woman with a sanguine temperament is warm, loving, cheerful, optimistic, hopeful, and confident. Because of her bubbly personality, she often appears phony and comes on too strong. She is apt to dominate the conversation or talk too much about herself. In her enthusiasm, she may exaggerate the truth, waste time, and forget obligations. Miss Sanguine has more natural inner-beauty qualities than the other temperaments. She can work on calmness and on controlling her tongue. She will find help in God's Word, particularly in Colossians 4:6, "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man."

Choleric ~ The choleric young woman is an extrovert. She is sure of her ability to handle any situation and can motivate others to action. Her personality perhaps has more weaknesses than strengths. She is quick tempered and easily angered. Choleric temperaments are irritated easily. Miss Choleric will have to work at developing the calm spirit of inner beauty. The Christian young woman who identifies with this personality type can find in God's Word the means of Christian growth, the way to develop a calm spirit of inner beauty (Philippians 2:13). "For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." The words of James (James 1:19) may be helpful: "...Be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath."

Melancholic ~ Gloominess, irritability, and depression characterize Miss Melancholic. She is often sad and unhappy. A melancholic personality is often very gifted with intellect and talent. She is self-disciplined and usually finishes the projects she starts. Miss Melancholic will have the most work for the Holy Spirit to do in developing qualities of inner beauty in her life. She will find help in such verses as Colossians 3:15 and 16: "And let the peace of God rule in your hearts...Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord."

Phlegmatic ~ The phlegmatic is a super introvert. She is very slow and easy-going. It is hard to rouse her to action. She at times is selfish and stubborn. Most of the time she is easy to get along with and cheerful. Phlegmatic people are conservative and usually neat, efficient, and dependable. Miss Phlegmatic has some natural inner beauty. Compassion for others is an area she needs to improve. Romans 12:10 says, "Be kindly affectionate one to another...in honor preferring one another."
