Each personality type has its strengths and each has its weaknesses. No one personality type is better than another, although some types are suited to certain jobs, roles and positions than others.

1. Your Personality Type Part I

2. When you’re working with the mind
and people’s beliefs, which
hypnotherapy does, you’re working
with personalities.

3. Personality is one of those
fundamental things and no amount of
hypnosis is going to change that.

4. If you have, say, a sanguine
personality, then you aren’t going to
be able to change to a choleric
temperament, even if you want to, or
vice versa.

6. Each personality type has its
strengths and each has its
weaknesses.

7. No one personality type is better than
another, although some types are
suited to certain jobs, roles and
positions than others.

8. Some people are purely one sort of
personality type, while others are a
mixture of two (or even more!), with
the proportions of the types varying
from individual to individual.

10. It’s unclear how people end up with
their unique personality type.

11. Numerous theories have been put
forward in the past, with
astrology, body chemistry (both using
the old theory of humours and the
new theory of brain chemistry), birth
order and genetics all being
suggested as playing a role.

12. It’s all a bit of a mystery how we end
up with our personalities and nobody
really knows exactly what causes one
person to have a phlegmatic
temperament and another person to
have a melancholic temperament.

14. You can get siblings – twins, even –
with totally different personality types
from each other and from their
parents, so who knows?

15. Different sets of labels have been put
on the different types. The traditional
labels were coined in the Middle
Ages or in the Renaissance, and
were based on the theory of the four
humours.

17. According to this theory (which isn’t
held to these days – hormones are
held responsible instead), the four
basic humours or bodily fluids were
blood, bile, black bile and phlegm.

18. Whichever predominated in your
body gave you your
personality, giving us the names
sanguine, choleric, melancholic
and phlegmatic respectively.

19. These names aren’t very
appealing, so others have been
coined.

20. One popular one uses animals to
symbolise the different types, such as
a lion for the choleric personality, a
beaver for the melancholic, an
otter for the sanguine and a golden
retriever for the phlegmatic.

22. Under the four elements
classification, sanguine
corresponds to air, choleric to fire,
melancholic to water and
phlegmatic to earth.

23. Oddly enough, our language seems
to support the use of the four
elements to describe personalities –
both the good and the bad side.

24. We instinctively call melancholic
people a wet mess or a puddle of
emotion on their bad days, but
reflective on their good days.

25. Similarly, a sanguine person can be
an airhead, or they can be bubbly and
breezy.

26. Phlegmatics are rock-solid or they are
stubborn as bricks. Cholerics are
hot-tempered and fiery, or they are
ardent.
