The Choleric pattern in one line
Choleric energy moves toward action. It sees the goal, feels the gap, and wants to close it quickly.
At its best, Choleric is courageous, decisive, protective, and capable. Under stress, the same strength can become control, impatience, harshness, or contempt for weakness.
