Our temperament, according to Alexander Havard, is "our native predisposition to react in certain ways. We are born with our temperament. There are 4 temperaments: Choleric, Melancholic, Sanguine, and Phlegmatic.

Cholerics tend to be intense, quick, and action-oriented.
Melancholics are deep, slow, and idea-oriented.
Sanguines are spontaneous and people-oriented.
Phlegmatics tend to be restrained, peace-oriented.
