are both normal thoughts of what personalities are. Always I would immediately think of the four temperaments. In my research I plan to prove that personalities come in different temperaments known as choleric, melancholy, sanguine, and phlegmatic. I will be explaining and talking about each one; Where they came from, how they are different, similar, and what they mean, and also how certain temperaments people have affect how they get along with others and what jobs suit them better and why.

Secondly, I chose Mead’s work Sex and Temperament in Three Primitive Societies, because it “completed the trilogy on these native cultures” (Flaherty 2002, 1). Simply put, not only do these works play a significant role in Mead’s life, but they hardly represent all of what Mead has done. In this anthropological research, Mead observes three tribes, “(1) the Arapesh, a hill tribe near the coast of Aitape, in the Mandated Territory of New Guinea, (2) the Mundugumor, on the Yuat (Dörferfluss), the second

In this rationale I will discuss what I learned in this course as it pertains to the four personality types and demonstrate how I will use this new knowledge in the classroom. As a Title 1 aide, I am required to use a research-based reading instruction program in working with identified K, 1st, and 2nd graders. These programs are scripted and tend to be inflexible. The phonics workbooks I must utilize have the same set-up lesson after lesson. I have often thought to myself that working through

fire, water, and air—form the basis of psychological classification known as the four humors: melancholic, choleric, phlegmatic, and sanguine. These “humors” or temperaments were thought to explain a person’s physical, mental, and moral characteristics. A person was thought to be perfectly balanced only when no one of the four temperaments dominated, and therefore judgements are not made based more heavily on thoughts or passions (Kazlev). Shakespeare’s Hamlet suggests that reason is a gift given

that balance causing one or more humour to become disordered. It is also said that the mind is effected by the equilibrium of the four temperaments known as melancholic, sanguine, choleric, and phlegmatic and that they dispersed to make up certain characteristics or personality traits. Critics have long described Shakespeare as using these humours and temperaments as a way for the audience to understand the character, plot and other aspects of his plays. In such plays as Romeo and Juliet where critics

Anyone who has spent time with or around children will notice that each one has a special personality all of their own. Children, like adults, have different traits that make up their personalities. Experts have researched this phenomenon in detail and classified children into different categories. Some experts have named more than three categories, but Peter L. Manigone has chosen three that most experts agree with. These categories have been named “flexible,” “fearful,” and “feisty.” Children generally

After reading Willa Cather’s short story “Paul’s Case: A Study in Temperament,” it is clear that Paul is an antagonistic character who is unlikable and unsympathetic. Paul had a consistent contempt for societal norms and manipulative behavior. His actions and attitudes all suggest he was the true antagonistic character of this story, which makes it difficult to empathize with him. To begin with, he had various misdemeanors, which caused him a suspension from high school in Pittsburgh. Cather states

particular note in Adler’s theory are his views on personality typology. Basing his theory on temperament beliefs and ideas from the Greek notions, he broke the typology down into four components: choleric or irritable temperament; sanguine or extroverted temperament, also described as the cheerful temperament; phlegmatic temperament which he described as lethargic; and the melancholy, or introverted, brooding temperament (Friedman & Schustack, 2012). It is in these four components that I identify my beliefs

quiet, yet very energetic. I think that my temperament, my diversity and culture that I grew up in, and the risk factors that came up in my childhood had an influence in shaping me into the person I am today. As Professor Clevenger-Bright stated in the lecture on family systems, there are three general temperaments: the “easy children”, the “difficult children”, and the “slow to warm up” (2016a). I feel like I grew up being in two different temperaments, and the two are the “slow to warm up” and

The triptych Melencolia I (1514), St. Jerome in his Study (1514) and Knight, Death and the Devil (1513) by Albrecht Dürer are allegoric copperplate engravings, known as the old master prints, which embody the three spheres of human activity: the “intellectual”, “theological” and “active”1. Whereas the latter focused on the strengths of humanity through the figure of the ‘knight’, who perseveres despite the threat ‘death’ and immorality pose to the mind, the former highlighted man’s hamartia in this
