The Four Temperament Theory is a proto-psychological theory suggesting that the four temperaments - Sanguine, Choleric, Phlegmatic, and Melancholic - are, in essence, the four fundamental personality types. This model takes into consideration whether a person is an introvert or an extrovert, and whether they are more emotional or rational. These factors can determine how someone behaves and reacts in certain situations.

This is one of the oldest theories about personality types. And while it is not part of modern psychology, the 4 temperaments remained well known throughout history.

Nonetheless, if you enjoy self discovery and learning about human psychology and behavior, you will likely find this ancient idea rather interesting!
