O.O

I can't actually remember the last time I really lost my rag. Beyond being a bit miffed. Oh wait. Yes I do. There's a dent in the wall. But it is about five years old.

The impulsive and excessive is me all over though

Phlegm is a really cool word.

*sigh*

Being impulsive is a lonely business.

Given the responses, I wonder if phlegmetics are more prone to take quizzes.

"I had always associated the Red Quarter with brightness, simplicity, a sense of hope. Oddly, though, I now felt as if these properties amounted to a superfluity of some kind, even a weakness."

Seems true on some levels, could be me, I s'pose.

I re-took this, and put in the answers I would put in if I don't check myself (I'm actively "working on" a lot my presonality traits) and ended up with:

Funny thing is, I only ended up changing two answers. The first one being one of those I changed, but really, both of the latter two answers for it apply: I do take on the role of peacemaker in arguments, but afterwards, I am tense, withdrawn, and depressed.

Weird, huh? So I apparently made SANGUINE by a whisker, lol.

In case you're interested, these four types are based on ancient archtypes from Plato. The types aren't meant to be insulting (which you might feel if you're typed in with the choleric folks...) but descriptive. The meaning of the words has changed a bit over the years...

And unlike in the book, your type can change. I wasn't always Sanguine, let's put it that way...

Experience and a concerted effort to change how I interact with the world have put me in a different place.

Sanguine here too.
the book looks interesting. what a concept, grouping those with similar personality traits together. wonder how those traits would morph over time.

It does - it's now on my "books I want to get" list...

I recently finished reading Divided Kingom by Rupert Thompson. The basic plot is Britain divided into four areas chosen by personality. Each area is walled and guarded so once you're in your area, you stay there. It's a great book.

On the site www.dividedkingdom.co.uk/default.asp, you can take a quiz (it's under Extras) to find out where you would be placed in this version of Britain.

I got lumped with the Melancholics.

Never mind, Boo. I'm stuck in your quarter, too. Fnarr.

My guess is that after a period of time the individual groups would become like the whole before the split. People would begin to express the other three qualities which are missing. Nature likes balance.

Well, I went and took the test and I'm

Which is pretty interesting since the last test I took said I was Piglet. So there you are, except that I always thought I was Eyeor which I can't even spell now - AARRRRGH!

No, sorry, didn't mean that, will now go over there and be depressed for causing a fuss.

Balance you say? What is that?

Stlight looking madly around.

I'm a MELANCHOLIC from the Green east of the Kingdom, which is where I've actually lived almost all my life.
