# 4 Temperament Test

Take a 4 temperament test and learn how choleric, sanguine, melancholic, and phlegmatic traits combine into practical FourType results.

The 4 temperament test is built around an old but still useful idea: people often differ in predictable patterns of energy, emotion, action, and steadiness.

## The four temperament families

FourType uses four core families as a starting point, then adds blended subtypes so the result can describe mixed patterns more honestly.

- Choleric: assertive, strategic, forceful
- Sanguine: social, enthusiastic, improvisational
- Melancholic: precise, reflective, standards-driven
- Phlegmatic: steady, patient, peace-oriented

## Why blends matter

Most people do not experience themselves as only one type. A choleric-sanguine profile can look very different from a choleric-melancholic profile, even when both share the same primary drive.


## Common Questions
