The 4 Temperaments & -isms


The Greek physician Hippocrates (460–370 BC) integrated the four temperaments into his theories. The four temperaments are:

1. Sanguine (pleasure-seeking and sociable),
2. Choleric (ambitious and leader-like),
3. Melancholic (analytical and quiet), and
4. Phlegmatic (relaxed and peaceful).

The above ingredients are possibly mixed to churn out more temperaments.

Now the theory is this: you either fall into one of the above category or you fall into one of the below –isms……


Agnosticism, Atheism, authoritarianism , Buddhism, Careerism , Commercialism, Communalism, Communism, Capitalism, Catechism, Chauvinism, Collectivism, Cynicism, Darwinism, Deism, Dualism, Empiricism, Evangelism, Existentialism, Extremism, , Fascism, Fanaticism, Feminism, Fundamentalism, Humanism, Individualism , Idealism, Individualism , Jainism, Judaism, Kantianism, Leninism, Liberalism, Hinduism, Maoism, Marxism, Nihilism, Nationalism, Objectivism, Optimism, Pacifism, Paganism, Pan deism, Pessimism, Pythagoreanism, Racism , Rationalism, Realism, Materialism, Stalinism, Spiritualism, Stoicism, Surrealism, Taoism, totalitarianism, Utopianism, Zoroastrianism, Zionism,

Either way – you are catalogued!!!
