Why do you act the way
you do? Why do you always get into
trouble with your friends and family? Why do you always complain about your
boss? Most people find themselves in wrong relationships and careers because
they struggle to identify their personality type. When we are able to identify
who we really are and our temperamental tendencies, we become better in
regulating ourselves, this allows us to develop self-control and self-discipline
and avoid unnecessary pitfalls within our lives.
In this post, I intend
sharing with you some of the major personality types, so that you can develop
your strength as well as maximizing weaknesses that comes with that temperament
type.
Let’s begin with the
Sanguine

| sanguine temperament |
Sanguines are the popular,
talkative and the “centre of attention ” at all times, no matter the setting.
At a party, Sanguines are the loud type making funny comments and telling funny
stories all over, typically the ones to give life to the party, because they love to talk.
They attract people with their magnetism and exude charisma; a sanguine personality is always affectionate, loving,
cheerful, optimistic and hopeful. To
easily spot a sanguine; look for the one that easily dominates conversation or
talk too much about their selves. And watch out, in their enthusiasm, they may
exaggerate the truth, waste time and definitely forget obligations.
If you find yourself
dating a sanguine, what they want to hear from you is how attractive they are,
how you like their hair, make-up, clothes, dangling earrings or anything else
they have put on.
Some down sides of sanguine
are; they are not normally goal oriented, waste time and forget obligations.Sanguines
are frequently not disciplined, and this is, of course, very difficult for the
third personality type called melancholy to understand. Sanguines wear their
"heart on their sleeve", but they very easily “forgive and forget”.
As quickly as a Sanguine will discover a new hobby or pursuit, that love of it
can be lost when it ceases to be engaging or fun.
