FOUR PERSONALITY TYPES: WHO ARE YOU?

Are you talkative, outgoing, friendly, and sociable? Or are you more of the quiet and artistic kind who likes to mull over things and be alone for long stretches of the day?

My dear friend, do not compare yourself with other people and say, “Oh, I wish I were like her” or “I wish I had his personality.”
Your personality is unique because God has a purpose for that personality. He wants you to be a great blessing to the world, and He’s going to use your personality.

Let’s talk about the four personality types and find out who you are. I’ll use an animal to describe each of the four personalities.

The first one is the sanguine, which is like dolphins.

When I walk in the morning, I greet my neighbors good morning and they greet me back. But I have one neighbor who is a real sanguine. When I greet her, she enthusiastically says, “Good morning, Brother Bo! God bless you today!” I love greeting her because it’s like she’s in a Broadway play.

Sanguines are highly optimistic and charismatic. Their strengths are being fun-loving, talkative, emotional, and demonstrative. They are usually the life of the party. They inspire people, love to volunteer, and easily forgive.

But every personality has a flip side.

So the weaknesses of a sanguine are a lack of discipline and being forgetful. They are good starters but bad finishers. They forget names, schedules, keys, phones, and wallets. They can be disorganized and late for their appointments.

The second type is the choleric. Cholerics are the sharks because they are ambitious and result-oriented.

They have massive resources to become a leader. This person is usually the one who takes charge of a situation. Most great military leaders, presidents, CEOs, and managers are choleric. They are self-motivated, goal-oriented, and heroic. They are strong-willed, decisive, and thrive in opposition so they often correct the wrongs.

But when you flip it, their weaknesses are their temper and arrogance. They can be abrasive, argumentative, and stubborn. Sometimes, they can be cold and heartless. That’s why they often suffer from ulcers, hypertension, and heart problems.

The third one is the melancholic. That’s the oyster.

Compared to the sanguine and the choleric, the melancholic is introverted, but they have a beautiful pearl inside like an oyster. Melancholics are creative and loyal. Artists, sculptors, painters, writers, musicians, and even inventors and scientists are most likely melancholic. They are deep thinkers, good planners, artistic, consistent, and sensitive to other people. They find creative solutions and have high standards.

But their flip side is they’re pessimistic, skeptical, and suspicious. They are perfectionists and prone to criticize themselves. They criticize other people, too, because of their high standards. They’re inflexible, too cautious, and tend to hold grudges. They also lack courage because of shame and their fears.

The fourth type is the phlegmatic.

That’s the turtle and that’s me. Surprising, right?

Phlegmatics are calm and relaxed, someone with a big heart and would rather avoid conflicts. Personally, I’d love everybody to be OK with each other, so I’m the perfect mediator. The turtle is somebody who is self-content, low-key, cool, patient, and finds the easy path.
But flip it, and the person is shy, unresponsive, indecisive, unemotional, passive, and easily gets abused and manipulated by other people. They may also lack ambition and are sluggish or lazy.

Why am I talking about these personality types? Because I want you to know that God created you in a particular way.
You might wonder, how could I be a phlegmatic when many people think I’m a choleric leader?

God created me with a phlegmatic personality, but He’s been using me for the past forty years as a leader.
Because of that, I’m able to listen more and work with all sorts of people. God uses my personality.

So, who are you in these four personalities?
