What’s your temperament?
Our church uses the Choleric-Sanguine-Melancholy- Phlegmatic model of temperament evaluation as a tool to help people understand how different we all are. It’s a fun interaction during our Discovery Group process. I stumbled across an online tool today that is well done at 4marks.com. Check it out.
You can view my results here.

I am choleric………..
Imagine that?? hahahah
We use this evaluation as well in our church. My wife actually teaches a class on it. It’s a really great way to learn people. I find it funny to meet people and say “phlegmatic!” or “Sanguine!”. So many times you can tell after a few minutes of conversation or just by watching them interact with others.
I tested Plegmatic/Sanguine. I have a hard time with these tests. I’ve tested Plegmatic/Sanguine the first time, and this time taking the test. This test says 96% phlegmatic, and 4% sanguine. In between, I tested Melancholy/phlegmatic. I guess the Melancholy was the 4% in that instance.
Shelley… no surprise there! ;)
TJ, this is the first time I’ve not tested as a Choleric/Sanguine. However, I think it’s the first time I’ve taken the test since beginning Journey.
I find it interesting that perhaps your life situation may change what your temperament “flexes” into. There’s a lot more need for organization and details as a leader of a church than there was as the leader of a campus ministry. I was pretty happy-go-lucky as a campus minister (thus, the sanguine…).
I took it and was melancholy/choleric. Michael says I am more choleric. I find it funny how people view you differently than you view yourself.
I found this in my archives
Hey, do you know any free
online sources that tell about communicating with different personality types?
Not off hand, Claire. However, I’d encourage you to check out Xenos Church’s site (xenos.org). They have a lot of online resources available and at one time were using this same temperament test.
Hmmm.. on this test I was choleric-sanguine… but on the one I did for Discovery I was Melancholy-choleric… (I think? lol) This description did seem fitting.. but they all can really!

Choleric-Phlegmatic, pretty much what I expected. Neat test.
I AM MELANCHOLY-PHLEGMATIC!!!!!!!!!!!
