1. Let me start by sharing where this information that I am going to share with you comes from, it’s a book
called Personality Plus, written by renowned author Florence Littauer. It is about how to understand
OTHERS by understanding YOURSELF. And gives you an insight of who you as a person/personality
are. So? Who am I?
I have 2 strong personality types, first and foremost is the Popular Sanguine, which is my strongest
attributes, Secondly, is known as the Powerful Choleric.
Now being a Popular Sanguine, this is what comes across when you meet me,
humor when we’re heavyhearted
The enthusiasm and energy to start over and over again
Popular Sanguine is off swinging on a star, bringing moonbeams home in a jar. The typical Popular
Sanguine are emotional and demonstrative; they make work into fun, and love to be with people. Popular
Sanguine are outgoing and optimistic. Appealing Personality, Popular Sanguine may not have more talent
or opportunity than other temperaments, but they always seem to have more fun. Their bubbly
personalities and natural charisma draw people to them. Talkative, Storyteller, The most obvious way to
spot a Popular Sanguine is by listening in on any group and locating the one who is the loudest and
chatting the most constantly. While other temperaments talk, Popular Sanguine tell stories. Hold On to
the listener, Because Popular Sanguine is very warm and physical people, they tend to be “feely”, in order
to be in close contact to make sure their audience doesn’t get away. There is nothing that would do a
Popular Sanguine more psychological damage that to lose their audience before getting to the punch line.
Good on Stage, Popular Sanguine have an innate sense of the dramatic and a magnetic attraction to center
stage. They gravitate to excitement and create more if “party” begins to die down. Popular Sanguine make
excellent greeters, hosts, master of ceremony, and club presidents. They can be hilarious and arouse
enthusiasm in all but the dullest of hearts. Give Popular Sanguine and audience and they’ll start a script.
Wide-Eyed and innocent, for Popular Sanguine everything is a fresh thought. Enthusiastic and
Expressive, Popular Sanguine are emotional and demonstrative people who are optimistic and
enthusiastic over almost everything. Whatever you bring up, they want to do, and wherever you mention
going, they want to go. They move, jump, wave, and wiggle. Curious, Popular Sanguine are always
curious and don’t want to miss anything. Volunteers for Jobs, Since Popular Sanguine want to be helpful
and popular, they volunteer without any thought of the consequences. Creative and colorful, The Popular
Sanguine mind is always thinking up new and exciting ideas. With each day come new challenges
countered with creative activities. In any committee meeting it is the Popular Sanguine who dreams up
the ideas and gets the vision for a project. Inspires and Charms Others, because Popular Sanguine have an
abundance of energy and enthusiasm, they tend to attract and inspire others. Harry Truman once said that
leadership is the ability to inspire others to work and make them enjoy doing it. This statement sums up
Popular Sanguine and shows their subtle style of leadership. The effective Popular Sanguine thinks up
ideas and charms others into carrying them out to a productive conclusion. Make Friends Easily, There
are no strangers to Popular Sanguine, for saying hello, they become your friends. While others hesitate or
hold back, Popular Sanguine opens conversations with anyone available. Seems Exciting, Since Popular
Sanguine always do things with flair; they seem to be living more exciting lives than their friends. It’s not
that what they do is so unusual, but that their retelling of an event adds to its actuality.

2. Now also being a Powerful Choleric; this is what comes across:
the firm control when others are losing theirs
Powerful Choleric is the dynamic person who dreams the impossible dream and aims to reach the
unreachable star. He feels, like Robert Browning, “A man’s reach must exceed his grasp or what’s a
heaven for?” Powerful Choleric is always aiming, reaching, succeeding. While Popular Sanguine is
talking and the Perfect Melancholy is thinking, Powerful Choleric is achieving. He is the easiest
temperament to understand and get along with. Powerful Choleric is similar to Popular Sanguine in that
they are both outgoing and optimistic. Powerful Choleric can communicate openly with people, and he
knows everything will turn out all right. He gets more done than the other temperaments, and he lets you
know clearly where he stands. Because Powerful Choleric is goal oriented and has innate leadership
qualities, he usually rises to the top in whatever career he chooses. Born Leader, Powerful Choleric will
exhibit a take-charge attitude very early in life. They are born leaders. Compulsive Need for Change,
Powerful Choleric are compulsive and they must change whatever they see out of place and correct
whatever wrongs are being put upon the helpless. Powerful Choleric rise quickly to causes and campaigns
for the right. They are never indifferent or apathetic but concerned and confident. Strong-willed and
Decisive, All organizations, businesses, and families need the strength of will and ability to make
decisions that come pre-packed in powerful Choleric. Where others can’t make up their minds, Powerful
Choleric will decide instantly. They solve problems and save time, although not everyone appreciates
their decisiveness. Can Run Anything, Powerful Choleric can run anything, whether or not they have any
knowledge of the bylaws. In fact, I’ve never joined anything where I couldn’t see the possibility of
becoming president within a year. Goal Oriented, Powerful Choleric is always more interested in
achieving goals than pleasing people. This is both a positive and negative, in that they tend to end up on
top alone. Organizes well, in any business or home situation, organization is a necessity to achieve goals.
The person, who doesn’t know where he’s going, doesn’t get there. Powerful Choleric is a master at
quick, practical organization. Delegates Work, Powerful Choleric greatest asset is his ability to
accomplish more than anyone else, aided by his gist for organization. When he looks at any task, he sees
instantly how it should be handled, and he divides the project into mental chunks of work. He knows what
assistance he has available, and he quickly portions out the chores among the group. He is not above
giving responsibilities to idle bystanders. Thrives on Opposition, Powerful Choleric not only like to
achieve goals, but they thrive on opposition.
