The Popular Personality: Sanguine Fun, outgoing, optimistic… but disorganized and too chatty.
The Powerful Personality: Choleric Goal-orientated, born leader, confident … but bossy and insensitive
The Perfect Personality: Melancholy Deep, thoughtful, organized … but negative and often depressed
The Peaceful Personality: Phlegmatic Pleasant, easy-going, adaptable … but indecisive and unmotivated.
