🗊Презентация The Four Temperaments

The Social-Oriented Extrovert Sanguines are full of positive energy and love to spend their time with people.  As a result, large social gatherings are their natural habitat.  Because they enjoy talking with people, they completely dominate the field of sales.   Their optimism, drive, and friendliness make them the best at convincing people to buy products.  As no big surprise, they are also highly gifted at evangelism due to their talkative nature and love for people.   Their ability to influence and inspire makes them absolutely essential to the health of churches, businesses, and other organizations.  

While sanguines may possess great social skills, they typically lack personal management skills.   They are known for being forgetful, disorganized and undisciplined.  They are also easily deceived because their optimistic nature believes that people are being honest.  Even though sanguines can be disorganized and sometimes naive, society would slump into low morale and selfishness without them.  Even though the world may have to remind sanguines to stay focused, sanguines have to remind the world to enjoy life.

The Task-Oriented Extrovert If you’ve ever seen a person tackle an obstacle with aggression and determination, you were probably looking at a choleric.  They are the most ambitious of all the temperaments.  Because of their ambition and drive, they are extremely competitive, often climbing into positions of leadership.  As a result, the majority of businesses and organizations are led by them.  Without their powerful leadership ability, the majority of businesses, churches, and countries would fail to prosper.  

However, their highly-driven nature can cause them to be ruthlessly insensitive and highly confrontational.  Without personal development, cholerics are known for hurting people who get in the way of their goals.  To serve their purpose, cholerics must learn how to channel their aggression into productivity instead of people.  

The Task-Oriented Introvert Melancholies are typically found either alone in deep thought or in small groups having meaningful conversations.  Of all the temperaments, melancholies spend the greatest amount of time in thought trying to understand the world around them.  As a result, they often choose careers and ministries where they can use their curious minds.  Because they enjoy challenging their minds, they typically possess highly developed problem-solving skills that others need.

While their analytical abilities can be highly beneficial to others, melancholies often criticize people because they notice the smallest details.  Their detail-oriented nature can also cause them to struggle with perfectionism and indecision.  While melancholies struggle with indecision, ironically, they make wonderful advisers to others who are making decisions.  Without the melancholy, governments and businesses would lack the wise advice they need to move forward successfully.

The Social-Oriented Introvert The relaxed nature of phlegmatics allows them to live in harmony with just about anyone.  They aren’t controlling like the choleric or critical like the melancholy.  They also don’t accidentally say inappropriate things like the sanguine occasionally does.  Because of their calm nature phlegmatics make loyal employees and supportive friends.  While loyal, phlegmatics usually need others to motivate them because of their lack of energy and self-motivation.  The phlegmatic’s need for motivation to be productive makes them best suited for positions of assistance and service.  As long as they have someone giving them directions, they will faithfully fulfill their responsibility.

Without the faithful phlegmatic, those needing help would struggle to get it because the other temperaments are usually too busy pursuing their own interests and goals.  As a result, Phlegmatics bring stability, peace, and support to a world that would spin out of control without them.
