"You are the company you keep." You choose your friends who have the same likes and interests as you. That's why you can hang out with them and talk and stuff. Basically, you and your friends have the same behavior and habits. What the saying is trying to say is by observing your friends; I will be able to tell what type of person you are: your likes, your views, and your behavior.
"Personality refers to individuals' characteristic
patterns of thought, emotion, and behavior, together with the psychological
mechanisms -- hidden or not -- behind those patterns. This definition means
that among their colleagues in other subfields of psychology, those
psychologists who study personality have a unique mandate: to explain whole
persons."
(Funder, D. C., 1997)
Personality type refers to the psychological
classification of different types of individuals.
Let’s find out what makes you the way you are !
Biology of Different Types of Personality
These personality types are :
- Sanguine- If you are a Sanguine, then you are most likely the life of the party ! You are FUNNY ^-^, affectionate, enjoy social activities and make friends easily ! You are always quick to 'forgive-and-forget', but you are chronically late and tend to be forgetful. Absolutely talkative :D
- Phlegmatic- If you are a phlegmatic, you feel more comfortable in a small group of friends or even spending a quiet evening relaxing at home. You would rather take the blame (even unjustly) than stir up controversy or pick a fight. You work steadily, patiently and methodically. You can also be a leader of great character and service.
- Choleric- "men of the choleric type take to kicking and smashing". Many businesspersons and sportsmen out there possess the Choleric personality. If you have this type of personality, you are an extrovert.You possess qualities like being active, dynamic, decisive, strong willed, self sufficient, independent, unemotional, and not discouraged easily. You tend to make harsh decisions, tactless, and rude. You’re going to hear them ROAR !
- Melancholic- A melancholic longs for a deep soul mate, yet when he is around people, he often finds himself mistrustful and disappointed. As
the word suggests, you care very moody. There are times when you feel
happy but then after a couple of minutes, you feel depressed or sad.
Melancholy personalities have the tendency to be suspicious, critical, and
pessimistic. Still, you can create lasting friendships.
Long ago, each of these types was
associated with a dominant humor present in the body: sanguine – blood humor,
phlegmatic – phlegm humor, choleric – yellow bile humor, melancholic – black
bile humor.
Additionally to that, the latest
research shows that these four basic temperaments are associated with
chemicals, like dopamine (for sanguine type), estrogen (for phlegmatic type),
testosterone (for choleric type) and serotonin (for melancholic type).
Personality is build through different factors such as genetics or even environmental influences. People don't always behave the way you want them to be, but it doesn't mean the way they behave is wrong. Every person has a different personality, it is what makes a person distinctive, unique and exceptional.
We go throughout life not knowing exactly who we are, but the most important thing is always be yourself, express yourself, do not go out to look for a successful personality. Positive feelings comes from being honest about yourself. Our actions, feelings and behaviors are the result of our own beliefs. It's unpredictable, personalities change from day to day. Changing is allowing ourselves to grow but you should never put on a mask and give up your own ability. It's about being a good person. Whatever type of personality you have, it may good or bad, but what matters most is to love yourself for who you are. Others might think you don't have fixed personality, therefore choose your friends that understands you and accepts you today the way you are. Remember most people sees what you appear to be, but only few that sees your heart. ^-^
