Your temperament
You carry both openness and calm, so you entertain people without wearing them out, and in a tense moment you know how to turn the volume down.
Everyone carries all four inside them; what matters is the ratio.
How far you turn outward to people and how easily something throws you: your type is where they cross.
Introverted 47%Extraverted 53%
Neither pole dominates. You hold your own among people and take a day spent alone just as well, which leaves everyone around you unsure where to place you. The drawback is that you have to ask for company and for quiet yourself - nobody reads it off your behavior in time.
Stable 62%Reactive 38%
Very little throws you, and it hardly ever happens. Your mood keeps the same level even on days when everything around you is falling apart, and people like to stop by, because no tension comes off you. The flip side: you show that something bothers you so late that others only notice at the last moment.
Whether one temperament clearly dominates or several of them mix.
42profile spread
One or two temperaments lead and the rest follow at a distance. On familiar ground you run on your main type, and when the situation calls for another mode, you can reach for it. It just costs you more energy than it costs someone it comes naturally to.
What your leading temperament means on an ordinary day, where it gives you an edge and where it holds you back.
16% of the people who took the test have this main temperament.
Your temperament
You carry both openness and calm, so you entertain people without wearing them out, and in a tense moment you know how to turn the volume down. You are easy to be around: you do not dramatize, you do not take offense and the atmosphere around you tends to be relaxed. What you are missing is an inner driver - whatever is neither fun nor strictly necessary gets postponed indefinitely.
Leading temperament
You walk into a room and five minutes later you know who you are going to sit with. Life is something to be lived above all - and a bad mood falls off you the moment the first good idea shows up.
Sanguine
You have a gift for getting people moving: where others shrug, you come up with a suggestion and find somebody for it on the spot. You do not carry grudges, you shake off a failed day by the next morning and find a reason to try again tomorrow.
Sanguine
You start more new things than you manage to finish, and whatever stops being fun quietly ends halfway. Another weak spot is the need for an audience: without listeners your energy fades within moments and a promise made in the heat of enthusiasm may not survive to next week.
Communication
You tell stories with your hands, and a detour into an anecdote is practically the rule with you, because it tends to be more interesting than the topic itself. When somebody interrupts you with a question, you usually pull it back into your story - and they do not ask it a second time.
Work style
You are at your best where there is a buzz around you, the result shows up soon and improvising is allowed. Solitude, spreadsheets and the same procedure over and over drain you faster than any workload; what reliably wakes your energy is a deadline, but only the very last one.
Close people
You have plenty of friends and a stranger turns into an acquaintance over a single coffee. Depth is the harder part: you steer a serious conversation towards something lighter before it starts to hurt, and the people close to you end up feeling they never quite reach you.
Under pressure
Under stress you scatter: you jump between tasks, pick up the phone in the middle of other work and by evening you have no idea where the day went. The warning sign comes the moment you start acting out a good mood you do not have inside.
The temperament that stays furthest in the background for you, and when to bring it in deliberately or call in someone else.
Lowest score
The melancholic component is the least pronounced one in you, so you do not dwell on details or on your own feelings for long and you move on. Most of the time that saves you energy, except that now and then you miss a small thing that later costs more than the time you saved - in a spreadsheet and in a relationship alike. On important things it pays to build in a short pause for a check, and to ask the people close to you straight out how they are, because hints get past you. This is not about starting to fret; it is about giving a few things the moment they deserve.
A low score is not a flaw of character. It marks the mode you will not switch into on your own, so it pays to know when to bring somebody else in for it - or when to try it out deliberately, with nothing at stake.
Four short guides to dealing with each temperament, including your own.
Count on a thing not being settled for them until they have talked it through with somebody - give them a few minutes for that. Say your appreciation openly, and give your objections one at a time and without an audience. Sum up the agreement in writing at the end; what was said in a burst of enthusiasm easily dissolves over the week.
Keep it short, start with the conclusion and say straight away what you want from them. When they flare up, do not take it personally and do not deal with the words at that moment - come back to it in an hour, when they will be matter-of-fact again. But leave the last word to them - present them with a done deal and they will go against it on principle.
Talk changes through with them before those changes happen, and explain the reason too - they will keep coming back for a long time to something they were pushed into. Their silence is not agreement but a reluctance to argue, so ask them directly what they would do differently. Do not make light of the objection they finally come out with: it cost them more than it cost you.
Give them time and quiet to think it over and do not force them to decide on the spot. Put criticism in concrete terms and keep it to the point; a general "it could be better" will keep running in them for a whole week. And when they confide something difficult, do not rush in with advice - mostly what they want is to be taken seriously.
What modern psychology confirms from the old theory of four temperaments and where it falls short.
