Four Temperaments Test — Personality Types Quiz to Discover Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholic, or Phlegmatic

The Four Temperaments Test is a personality quiz that classifies people into four historical temperament types—sanguine, choleric, melancholic, and phlegmatic—based on typical behaviors, emotional patterns, and social styles. It helps with self-awareness, communication, and personal development.

This quiz provides a practical snapshot of tendencies using self-reported answers, but like all short personality assessments it is not a clinical diagnostic tool. Accuracy improves when you answer honestly and retake the test in different contexts (work, home) to compare results.

Your result is calculated by summing the numeric values assigned to each of your selected options. The total score places you into one of four temperament ranges: choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic, or melancholic, with tailored recommendations for each.

Yes. Many people display a mix of temperamental traits. This test identifies your dominant inclination but your full personality can include strengths from multiple temperaments. Use the recommendations to balance your tendencies and develop complementary skills.

Apply the actionable suggestions in the results section: adjust communication style, assign tasks that fit your strengths, adopt small habits to manage stress, and practice targeted growth strategies (for example, leaders can improve empathy; detail-oriented people can practice decisive action).

Retake the Four Temperaments Test if you want to measure changes after trying new habits or if you take it in a different life context (new job, new relationship). Waiting 2–8 weeks between attempts can be useful to see meaningful changes in behavior and self-perception.
