This is one of my top 10 books that I think folks should have. It describes the 4 basic personality/temperament types that are found in people. It's similar to other resources that cover the 4 temperaments like the following:

I do not exaggerate when I tell you this book saved my family. We had 4 children we homeschooled until high school. I was a full time homemaker and on call 24/7. I was stressed out, worn out, and guilted out by my inability to communicate effectively with these 4 short humans. I thought I would lose my mind! Then, probably about 1987, I read this book and it changed my life and the lives of my kids (and husband). It has held me in good stead through church activities, jobs, public school m

Memahami Kepribadian dengan Praktis
Kepribadian menjadi salah satu hal yang menarik untuk dibahas. Betapa tidak, kajian mengenai kepribadian membantu kita untuk lebih mengenali diri sendiri. Saat kita telah memahami diri sendiri, kita akan lebih mudah dalam memahami orang lain dan menjaga relasi yang baik sesuai dengan tuntunan pemahaman kita terhadap kepribadian tersebut.

I thought this book was pretty gimmicky. The conceit of it is that there are four basic "temperaments": Popular Sanguine, Peaceful Phlegmatic, Powerful Choleric, and Perfect Melancholy. The idea is that you can identify your own tendencies and those of the people you interact with, and adapt suitably. For example, Popular Sanguines are fun, talkative, outgoing, have great ideas & get fired up about them, but they are flaky, self-centered, & lack organization & follow through. So ma

Personalitas manusia dibagi empat (4) bagian, yaitu Sanguinis, Melankolis, Koleris, dan Plegmatis. Sanguinis adalah tipe kepribadian yang suka bersenang-senang, senang berinovasi dan mendominasi pembicaraan. Melankolis adalah kepribadian yang terstruktur dan disiplin. Koleris adalah kepribadian yang bisa menyelesaikan persoalan apa saja, di mana saja, dengan cara mereka sendiri. Sementara Plegmatis adalah tipe kepribadian yang cinta damai, menolak permasalahan dan rendah hati.

A good read, and a lot of information. You can tell that the book is a little dated (first written in the early 80s), but she has some very good ideas.
However, being one that analyzes everything, I came to the following conclusions:
1. She doesn't much care for Peaceful Phlegmatics.
2. Her husband needs to lighten up, cut people some slack, and get some serious help for his OCD.
3. Extreme examples don't always make for good reading. Some m More...

At first I was reluctant of it's validity and the extent of it's stereotyping, but I found it was staggeringly accurate and had little to none negative stereotyping.
I would call it nothing short of a very helpful guide to pinpointing others personalities, their resulting behavior and your own. Just as well as helping you realize the strengths in your personality, in turn it gives you an understanding of your weaknesses as well. Additionally, this knowledge (and the book itself) can More...

I bought this book in Kuching while looking for a book to read to fill the vacuum during off-days. This book is really a good tool for young executive as well as management people to gauge their men, thus, by knowing their subordinate personality formulate a matrix for the sake of gaining the best out of them. Imagine how to make difficult people working as a team. This book actually helps - just digest the content, and you will know.

Siempre había escuchado hablar sobre los temperamentos, y gracias a este libro aprendí la importancia de reconocerlos. El reconocer que cada persona es diferente por medio de su temperamento te puede ayudar a ser una persona más flexible y tolerante ya que siempre consideramos comparar a las demás personas con la forma en la que nosotros actuaríamos.
Definitivamente es un libro que te recomiendo leer.

Cukup bermanfaat buat mengetahui tipe umum kepribadian manusia (termasuk diri sendiri). Tapi oleh beberapa orang yang "rada keracunan" buku ini, setiap orang bawaannya pengen dinilai dengan kategorisasi Liatauer ini. eh dia ni Sanguinis, eh cewe itu Melankolis, bla bla bla. Ga lama dia mandangin aku, eh kamu masuk kelompok apa ya rada gak jelas. Aku cuma geleng-geleng dan bilang : so what?

This book was my first exposure on the 4 main personalities: Popular Sanguine, Perfect Melancholy, Peaceful Plegmatic and Powerful Choleric. It definitely helped me to understand myself and others better. However, I still find it difficult to answer the questions on my personality test. I will react differently according to the situation, individual and the needs at that time....

Fantastic, easy read to learn about the Human personality temperaments. Although this is an older book and does not include the newest temperament of Supine, its got lots of info on the other four temperaments. Understand yourself and discover the UNIQUE YOU in this book. And if you don't seem to fit the first four temperaments, then find a book that includes Supine.

Lovely! After reading this book my outlook on people evolved. It was clear, funny and contained such useful informtaion. It is always good to look at yourself through a different tool. And anything that helps me understand myself and others better if a plus! It complemented my knowledge and studies of astrological breakdowns of personalities. Good stuff. Read it!

Maybe it was her sanguine style of writing that drove me crazy, but it seems she drew far too much from her own family and self and gave very little else in way of explaining the personalities. Examples and anecdotes serve a purpose, but the book was wholly narrative. I expected a lot more content, and a little less giddiness. Was not a fan.

Have no idea of what the writer think when she wrote this book. Well, she just wanted to help us, that's all, but she doesn't know a damn thing about personality theoretically. She just feel that "oh yeah, according to the old philosopher Galen and Hippocrates, sanguine is bla bla bla, melancholy bla bla bla, etc. But have she ever read any of those psychological book? I doubt that she ever read personality theory book.

Well I learned a lot about myself in this book. I think that is one of the first things that this book is intended for, followed by an understanding of other people. I realized why I thought a lot of other people were downright stupid and why I and others act certain ways towards others.
This teaches that everybody is a completely unique person and that there is nothing wrong with them... they are just different than you!

I feel a bit ambivalent about this book. On the one hand it gave me a pretty good introduction to the Ancient Greek system of categorizing personalities by "humors", bodily fluids. On the other hand it is a "Christian Living" book and I'm not a Christian. It's OK for a motivational/self-help book.

Book given to me by a friend. We'll be discussing it during our weekend get away. Not so much new in this book about the four (sanguine, choleric, melancholy, and phlegmatic)personality designations. It just reminds me again that we folks can be SO different from each other.

Can't beat learning about yourself and the personality types of others! Unless of course you learn that your personality doesnt mesh with anyone elses... but hopefully you won't feel that way when you're finished with it.

A good read for someone who is interested in learning about the way we are and why we are this way. Not quite as much of an amazing read as John would have me beleive. But, at least I finally read it!
