My Surmises

from JoeUser Forums
Alright, Hippocrates came up with these different personalites. It's actually pretty interesting and tells quite a bit about a person. Not that I have any stipulations for you all, but I figured I'd guess before you take the personality test. There are four different personalities: Melancholy, Phlegmatic, Choleric, and Sanguine. Most people have one dominant and one subdominant, although on of my friends is pretty well rounded with them.

http://www.oneishy.com/personality/personality_test.php

My dominant is Choleric, and subdominant is Sanguine. As you're taking the test make sure that you check the box that says not to send any other emails except the results from the test. They won't send you any other junk, so just do it! I want to see how close my guesses are. :o) So, do it and post the type that has the most points as your dominant and the one that has the second most points overall as your subdominant.
In random order, here are my guesses:

Dharma- Phlegmatic/Sanguine
Dan- Choleric(all the way!... not that we'll find out)
Anne(tangledwishes)- Sanguine/Melancholy
Trinitie- Choleric/Sanguine
Muggaz- Sanguine all the way... sub-dom, Choleric
Michael(imajinit)- Phlegmatic/Melancholy
Macky- Phlegmatic/Sanguine
Brad- Choleric/Melancholy
Capt- Sanguine/Phlegmatic
Sir Peter- Melancholy/Choleric, although I have a feeling he'd like to think he's a choleric
JillUser- Phlegmatic/Choleric
Poetmom- Phlegmatic/Melancholy
Todd(mikimouse)- Phlegmatic/Sanguine

~Sarah, the choleric/sanguine... although I'd like to believe I'm sanguine through and through.

Hippocrates was a quack... hehehe... we've learned a lot about personality theory since then...


Having said that, I did go ahead and take the test, and it says that I'm 'Choleric Melancholy'... you were half right

The dominant force in my personality by a long way is Choleric followed by Sanguine as runner up in all categories. It seems that you and I have the same personality Sarah, you must be a very proud young lady.

Michael~ I need to read your blogs more... I really didn't think you were choleric.
Sir Peter~ Sanguine?!??!?! hahahahhaha.... as I said, you'd like to believe you are choleric, but really, truly, you're not, and you must have lied on the test.
Capt~ Yay, I got one right! And yes, they do kind of counteract each other, but that happens, and I guess it works
Dharma~ Sanguines are the most fun.... you're awesome.
Brad~ I figured you were a MAJOR choleric, to be honest. I think, if you don't mind me saying, that's one of the reasons you and Dan didn't get along that great. He is MAJOR choleric too, and very stubborn.

Oh come on. NO one ever said that when you take the test, that you'll have to be what the results say you are. It's just fun to see what a group of people can do to decide what kind of person you are... I personally like taking these things often.
