Knowing your own personality is:  to strengthen your confidence  to understand other people in order to build better relationships with others  to understand yourself and own behavior  to use your best traits to find place and purpose in life

Personality is the sum total of who you are - your attitudes and reactions, both physical and emotional. Personality of each individuals is unique and specific  It is the product of heredity and environment.  It is not static but dynamic in nature.  It is shaped by experience, by contacts with other people, by social roles performed by the person

 Temperament is the manner of thinking, behaving, or reacting of a specific person  It refers to the characteristics and aspects of personality that we are born with (quality and intensity of emotional reaction, activity level, attention, and emotional self-regulation) (Rothbart & Bates, 1998) So some kids are quiet, gentle, joyful, and other excitable, active and tearful. Temperament is an element of personality and should be of great importance when choosing the profession jpg

Swiss psychologist C. Jung distinguished two opposite personality types: EXTROVERT: outgoing, energized by being surrounded by other people, tends to express thoughts and emotions freely. First acts and then (maybe) reflects. INTROVERT: quiet and peaceful, happy to be alone and prefers books than people. He or she observes situation before participating.

Each temperament has its share of positive and negative traits that can either prosper or hinder a person in professional or personal situations. It is rare for a person to fit solely within one of the temperaments. Many people demonstrate characteristics of more than one 4 TEMPERAMENT TYPES The Greek physician Hippocrates (c. 460 – c. 370 BC) identified four personality temperaments temperament. sanguine melancholy choleric phlegmatic

The Sanguine is an extroverted, fun-loving, activity-prone, impulsive, entertaining, persuasive, easily amused and optimistic person, resistant to stress and difficulties, easy to adapt to new conditions. They are receptive and open to others and build relationships quickly. They are animated, excited and accepting of others. They will smile and talk easily and often. They are so people-oriented that they easily forget about time. Sanguines get bored easily because of their orientation to social involvement, general dislike for solitude. Their attention span is based on whether or not they are interested in the person or event. They are competitive and tend to be disorganized. Sanguine will have difficulty controlling their emotions. They usually like sports of any kind because of the activity and involvement with other people. They fear rejection or not making a favorable impression. They also fear others viewing them as unsuccessful. Sanguines are very effective working with people.

The Choleric is an extroverted, hot-tempered, quick thinking, active, practical, strong-willed and easily annoyed person. Cholerics are self-confident, self- sufficient and very independent minded. They are decisive and opinionated and find it easy to make decisions for themselves as well as others. The Choleric is a visionary and seems to never run out of ideas, plans and goals, which are usually very practical. The Choleric does not require as much sleep as the other temperaments so their activity seems endless. Their activity almost always has a purpose because they are by nature result- oriented. They usually do not give in to the pressure of what others think unless they see that they cannot get the desired results. They can be crusaders against social injustice as they love to fight for a cause. They are both direct and firm when responding to others. They are slow to build relationships because results tend to be more important than people. They do not easily empathize with the feelings of others or show compassion. Cholerics think big and seek positions of authority.

The Melancholy is an introverted, logical, analytical, factual, private, lets-do-it-right person. Melancholies respond to others in a slow, cautious and indirect manner. They are reserved and suspicious until sure of your intentions. They are self-sacrificing, gifted and they tend to be a very good organized perfectionist. Melancholies are very sensitive to what others think about their work. The Melancholy needs feedback and reasons why they should do something. They need information, time to think and a plan. The Melancholy fears taking a risk, making a wrong decision and being viewed as incompetent. Melancholies tend to have a negative attitude toward something new until they have had time to think it over. Melancholies are skeptical about most everything but they are creative and capable people. Melancholies tend to get bored with something once they get it figured out.

The Phlegmatic is an introverted, calm, unemotional, easygoing, never-get-upset, person. Phlegmatics are both slow and indirect when responding to others. Phlegmatics are by far the easiest person with which to get along. They live a quiet, routine life, free of the normal anxieties and stresses of the other temperaments. The Phlegmatic will avoid getting too involved with people and life in general. The Phlegmatic communicates a warm, sincere interest in others preferring to have just a few close friends. They will be very loyal to their friends They tends to resist change of any kind without reason, avoid conflict and making decisions of any kind. They show little emotion. Their stoic expression often hides their true feelings. They are practical, concrete and traditional thinkers.. Phlegmatics are persistent and consistent at whatever they undertake.

There are not „better" and "worse" personality types. People are simply different. You just need to be able to take advantage of the strengths of your personality, so that they are advantages in your work and family life.
