# Sanguine Test: Are You the Social, Expressive Type?

Take a Sanguine test to see whether your strongest temperament pattern is expressive, optimistic, people-focused, and energized by connection.

## What a Sanguine test should check

A Sanguine test should not only ask whether you are outgoing. It should look at what gives you energy, how quickly your attention moves, and how much connection matters to your sense of aliveness.

Sanguine patterns tend to move toward people, humor, novelty, storytelling, and shared momentum. At their best, they bring warmth and courage into the room.

## Signs you may be Sanguine

### You gain energy from people

Conversation, shared experience, and spontaneous connection wake you up.

### You move with enthusiasm

You can start quickly when something feels exciting or alive.

### You tell stories naturally

You often process life by talking, joking, performing, or making meaning socially.

### You resist dull routine

Too much sameness can make you restless, scattered, or checked out.
