Anecdotes and the four types of people!

The Four Basic Personality Types

some personality types are more emotional than others.

CHOLERIC
born leaders. their strong personality wants them to be in control. strengths are that they often get things accomplished! weaknesses: BOSSY. they are often very goal-oriented and motivated by new ideas and challenges.

note from author: when the Lord gives me a project, i get all stirred up about it and i go tell my husband, who has a different personality than mine called the...

PHLEGMATIC
they show little or no emotion at all. =.= and much logical

scenario: when joyce gets all exited about something, her husband Dave will go: "We'll see." and she says: "At times like this I just wanted to hit him, until I learned to understand him. I was being emotional, and he was being logical. I was looking at the excitement side, and he was looking at the responsibility side of the issue. I used to yell at him: 'Can't you get exited about ANYTHING!??' (LOL) 

We would go into Charismatic churches, and i would go..."wow! Did you feel the presence of God in that place?"  And Dave would say, 'no i didn't feel a thing.' He wasn't basing the experience of God by his feelings. For a long time, I thought the man was emotionally dead. (LOLOL)"

phlegmatic people need to excerice their faith and make an effort to show some emotion. for the sake of the others whom you are in a relationship with, you need to stretch yourself. that way, you are operating in love.

SANGUINE
the most emotional type, they are bubbly and seems to bounce. they tend to get on the nerves of a choleric person, but they tend to not notice as they are often so consumed with their energy and fun. they are not very disciplined. do you think they'll worry about forgetting their car park? no, they'll feel that its so funny. now they've got a new story to tell the next time they bubble in!

MELANCHOLY
the total opposite to sanguine-very neat people, plan oriented. however they have the most trouble with depression. they are the deep people, the thinkers, the organizers. they believe there is a place for everything, and everything has a place.

**
note: most of us have a combination of both of more personality types.

(Joyce Meyers, 1997)
