Hippocrates, Galen, and the Four Humors
What is your “humor”?
Hippocrates, Galen, Four Humors
I’m a mix of Choleric, Melancholy, and Phlegmatic. But pretty much zero Sanguine. My older sister got all of that - bubbly, outgoing, could sell ice to an Eskimo. As a baby and toddler, she did all the talking for me.
The Choleric in my personality appears as leadership and being a doer - the intense desire to get things done and see results.
The Phlegmatic comes out in the desire to run and maintain a steady ship, with repeatable, scalable, and predictable success.
The Melancholy shows up as inventive creativity, ingenuity, and the musical side of my personality.
