The only online quiz I ever thought actually useful.

Melancholic major, sanguine minor.

My guess is that you are a choleric major, melancholic minor. Right?

Ya got me pegged bye.

Funny: I came up today with Choleric maior and sanguine minor.

Must be the weather. Or maybe St. Philip's dictum of cheerfulness is starting to sink in.

Jeff Culbreath said...

That was easy: I'm married to another C-m. Never a dull moment. :-)

Jeff Culbreath said...

Well ... female choleric-melancholics are so temperamental they're going to get a different answer every time. You're still C-m.

M/C with S in close pursuit.

Mind you I got no-appeal final notice yesterday: that probably adjusted the results a bit.

Sorry to hear that Andrew,

Must be a sign from God to do some new thing.

Jeff Culbreath said...

"M/C with S in close pursuit."

Perfection, if you ask me.

Andrew Malton said...

At this exact moment, jeff, that's a jolly nice thing to say... thx.

Melancholic major, phlegmatic minor. What else is new? I suppose the minor could easily change, though. The SSPX used to sell a pamphlet on the temperaments and spiritual direction. Maybe still do.

Father,

I'm with ye. Here's my breakdown:

Melancholy 43%
Phlegmatic 25%
Sanguine 23%
Choleric 10%

The Melancholy Phlegmatic combo means that we're smart enough to do anything, but too sad and unmotivated to accomplish it, right?

I find that the fact that Sanguine takes a close third place is amusingly contradictory. I think I have multiple personality disorder...

Sanguine-choleric. Phlegmatic and melancholy tied for third at 15%, probably would be even lower if I were not in poor health.
