Usually, There are practically no pure temperaments.Every person has a combination of two temperaments, one of which is basic and the other additional. But the constant manifestation of only the main and additional temperament is the exception rather than the rule.Each personality contains all four temperaments, but in different proportions.Each of them comes to the fore, depending on the situation.
Main, leadingtemperament manifests itself at a close psychological distance (in a familiar environment, with close people) in a comfortable psychological atmosphere.
Additional temperaent manifests itself more clearly in a tense and (or) conflict situation. For example, protecting your personal interests, defending your opinion, etc.
Third type of temperamentmanifests itself in an official setting, at a distant psychological distance (in relation to management, subordinates or partners from other organizations, simply strangers
people). This type of temperament can be called role-playing, because a person in such a situation is constrained by conventions, and, adapting to society, plays a certain social role.
Fourth type of temperament, appears most rarely. As a short-term reaction to stressful situations (company collapse and unexpected dismissal, serious illness or death loved one, any natural disaster: fire, flood, etc.).

Key to the temperament test.

Count the number of "+" for each temperament separately.

1 block - phlegmatic

Block 2 - melancholic

3 block - choleric

Block 4 - sanguine

Then calculate the percentage of positive answers for each type of temperament (the number of “+” for one type of temperament divided by the number of “+” for all four types of temperament and multiplied by 100%).

In its final form, your temperament formula will take something like this: T = 36% X + 35% C + 15% F + 14% M, which means that your temperament is 36% choleric, 35% sanguine, 15% phlegmatic and 14% melancholic.

Interpretation of the obtained values.

Phlegmatic person

New forms of behavior are developed slowly, but are persistent. Possesses slowness and calmness in actions, facial expressions and speech, evenness, constancy, depth of feelings and moods. Persistent and stubborn, he rarely loses his temper, is not prone to emotions, calculating his strength, brings things to the end, is even in relationships, moderately sociable, and does not like to chat in vain. Saves energy and doesn’t waste it. Depending on the conditions, in some cases a phlegmatic person may be characterized by “positive” traits - endurance, depth of thoughts, constancy, thoroughness, in others - laziness and a tendency to perform only habitual actions.

Melancholic

Has high sensitivity: there is a depth of feelings with little expression. He is characterized by restraint and muted speech and movements, modesty, and caution. Under normal conditions, a melancholic person is a deep, meaningful, responsible person who successfully copes with life’s tasks. Under unfavorable conditions, he can turn into a closed, anxious, vulnerable person, prone to difficult internal experiences of life circumstances that do not deserve it.

Characterized by increased excitability, actions are intermittent. He is characterized by sharpness and swiftness of movements, strength, impulsiveness, and vivid expression of emotional experiences. Due to imbalance, carried away by a task, he tends to act with all his might and become more exhausted than he should. Having public interests, his temperament shows initiative, energy, and integrity. In the absence of spiritual life, choleric temperament often manifests itself in irritability and short temper under emotional circumstances.

Sanguine

Quickly adapts to new conditions, quickly gets along with people, and is sociable. Feelings arise and change easily, emotional experiences are usually shallow. Facial expressions are rich, mobile, expressive. He is somewhat restless, needs new impressions, does not regulate his impulses sufficiently, and does not know how to strictly adhere to the established routine of life or work system. In this regard, he cannot successfully carry out work that requires an equal expenditure of effort, prolonged and methodical tension, perseverance, stability of attention, and patience. In the absence of serious goals, deep thoughts, creative activity superficiality and inconstancy are developed.

DOUGH PROCESSING

If the “key” answer matches your answer, you add one point to yourself. If it does not match, zero points.

1. Confidence scale.

The answer is “yes” to questions: 6, 24, 36.

The answer is “no” to questions: 12, 18, 30, 42, 48, 54.

Count the amount. If the result is 5 or more points, this means that you answered not as it really is, but as you would like or as is accepted in society. In other words, your answers are not reliable.

2. Extraversion scale.

The answer is "yes" to questions: 1, 3, 8, 10, 13, 17, 22, 25, 27, 37, 39, 44, 46, 49, 53, 56.

The answer is “no” to questions: 5, 15, 20, 29, 32, 34, 41, 51.

Count the amount.

3. Emotional stability scale.

Answer "yes" to questions: 2, 4, 7, 9, 11, 14, 16, 19, 21, 23, 26, 28, 31, 33, 35, 38, 40, 43, 45, 47, 50, 52 , 55, 57.

Having received the sums for the “Extraversion Scale” and “Emotional Stability Scale” values, mark them, respectively, on the horizontal axis “Introversion-extroversion” and the vertical axis “Emotional stability”. The intersection point will show your temperament type.

Draw the coordinate axes: the horizontal axis is the “extraversion scale”, vertical axis- "emotional stability scale". Each scale from 1 to 24 intersects at point 12. Mark your indicators on the axes. Find the intersection point. A point can lie on an axis if one of the scales is 12.

The result you got is your predominant temperament type. On the extraversion scale, you can see the type of personality orientation: extrovert or introvert.

General concepts about temperament

Each person has his own characteristics of mental activity.
Temperament is a characteristic of a person, namely:

 pace,

 rapidity,

 rhythm,

 the intensity of these mental processes and states.

Temperament determines and ensures the speed, strength and balance of our reactions. It manifests itself in thinking, speech, and manner of communication.
At the same time, temperament does not affect interests, success, intelligence, business qualities- here we are able to independently develop our inclinations, turn them into abilities or forget about them.
The ability to make choices and take responsibility for them are indicators developed personality, and not manifestations of temperament characteristics. Knowing your own type of temperament greatly simplifies the process of knowing yourself, accepting your manifestations and, as a result, choosing your own lifestyle.

Temperament human - a biological quality, innate, not acquired. Only 25% of 100% of temperament can be corrected. And this correction is our adjustment to the requirements of society (the world around us, society...). For what? For the purpose of a more efficient and successful existence.
IN pure form temperaments are rare. Every person has something of choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic and melancholic. The question of who is better to be does not make sense, just like the question of what time of year is better. Each has its pros and cons. You need to know them and act, choosing an effective model of behavior depending on the situation. That is, do not follow the lead of natural qualities, but develop them.

Features of temperament must be taken into account when choosing a profession, but temperament should not be confused with character.

 Kindness and cruelty

 hard work and laziness,

 neatness and sloppiness -
All these are character traits that are not inherent in nature, but are formed throughout life.

 Smart or stupid

 honest or deceitful

 talented or untalented
Can be a person with any temperament. A person’s success does not depend on his temperament, but on the abilities, knowledge, skills and orientation of the individual.

Basic components of temperament

Analysis of the internal structure of temperament leads to the identification of three main, leading components. Each of these components has a complex multidimensional structure and different shapes psychological manifestations.

The sphere of general mental activity of a person.

the individual’s desire for self-expression, effective mastery and transformation of external reality;

intellectual and characterological characteristics, a complex of relationships and motives

The degree of activity extends from lethargy, inertia and passive contemplation at one pole to the highest degree of energy, powerful swiftness of action and constant ascent at the other.

Motor skills.

In the motor (motor) component, the leading role is played by qualities associated with the function of the motor (and special speech-motor apparatus). Among the dynamic qualities of the motor component are:

rapidity,

force,

sharpness,

rhythm,

amplitude and

a number of other signs of muscle movement.

Features of muscle and speech motor skills can be observed more easily than others in humans. Therefore, a person’s temperament is often judged only by this component.

Emotionality.

This is a large complex of properties and qualities that characterize the peculiarities of the emergence, course and cessation of various feelings, affects and moods.
This component is the most difficult. It has a branched structure of its own:

Impressionability - a person’s susceptibility, his sensitivity to emotional influences, his ability to find the basis for an emotional reaction where such soil does not exist for others.

Impulsiveness - the speed with which emotion becomes the motivating force of actions and actions without prior thought and a conscious decision to carry them out.

Emotional lability - the speed at which a given event ceases emotional condition or one experience is replaced by another.

From the history of teachings about types of temperament

Hippocrates (5th century BC) first spoke about temperaments. He argued that people differ in the ratio of the 4 main “juices” of life that make up it:

 blood,

 phlegm,

 yellow bile and

 black bile

Claudius Galen (2nd century BC) continued. He developed the first typology of temperaments (treatise "Detemperamentum"). According to his teaching, the type of temperament depends on the predominance of one of the juices in the body. They identified temperaments that are widely known today:

 choleric (from the Greek chole - “bile”),

 sanguine (from Latin sanguis - “blood”),

 phlegmatic (from Greek - phlegma - “phlegm”),

 melancholic (from the Greek melaschole - “black bile”)

I.P. Pavlov hypothesized that certain fundamental properties underlie differences in behavior nervous processes- excitation and inhibition. These properties include:

 excitation strength
reflects the performance of the nerve cell. It manifests itself in functional endurance, i.e. in the ability to withstand long-term or short-term, but strong excitation, without passing into the opposite state of inhibition

 braking force
is understood as the functional performance of the nervous system during the implementation of inhibition. Manifests itself in the ability to form various inhibitory conditioned reactions, such as extinction and differentiation

 their poise
balance of excitation and inhibition processes. The ratio of the strength of both processes decides whether a given individual is balanced or unbalanced, when the strength of one process exceeds the strength of the other

 their mobility/inertia
manifests itself in the speed of transition from one nervous process to another. The mobility of nervous processes is manifested in the ability to change behavior in accordance with changing living conditions. A measure of this property of the nervous system is the speed of transition from one action to another, from a passive state to an active one, and vice versa. The nervous system is more inert the more time or effort it takes to move from one process to another.

I.P. Pavlov distinguished between the strength of excitation and the strength of inhibition, considering them two independent properties of the nervous system.
The 4 types of nervous system identified by I.P. Pavlov correspond according to their main characteristics to 4 classic types temperament:

 a strong, unbalanced type with a predominance of excitement - choleric;

 strong, balanced, agile - sanguine;

 strong, balanced, inert - phlegmatic;

 weak type - melancholic

Description of temperament types.
Types of temperament according to I.P. Pavlov

I.P. Pavlov understood the type of nervous system as innate, relatively weakly susceptible to changes under the influence of environment and upbringing. According to Ivan Petrovich, the properties of the nervous system form physiological basis temperament, which is mental manifestation type of nervous system.
Two things to note:

 Weakness of the nervous system is not negative property.
Strong nervous system copes more successfully with some life tasks (for example, in work associated with large and unexpected loads).
A weak nervous system copes more successfully with others (for example, in monotonous work conditions). A weak nervous system is a highly sensitive nervous system, and this is its advantage over a strong one.

 The division of people into four types of temperament is very arbitrary. There are transitional, mixed, intermediate types. Pure temperaments are relatively rare.

Hans Eysenck studied the works of C. Jung, R. Woodworth, I.P. Pavlov, E. Kretschmer and other famous psychologists, psychiatrists and physiologists. He proposed three basic dimensions of personality:

neuroticism

characterizes emotional stability/instability (stability/instability).
High scores on neuroticism are expressed in nervousness, instability, poor adaptation, a tendency to quickly change moods, and strong reactions in relation to the stimuli that cause them.
Low scores on neuroticism are expressed in the preservation of organized behavior, situational focus in ordinary and stressful situations. Characterized by maturity, excellent adaptation, lack of great tension and anxiety.

extra/introversion

Extrovert - a person who is outward-looking, sociable, optimistic, with a wide circle of acquaintances, impulsive, acting under the influence of the moment. He needs contacts like air. He prefers to act, move forward, rather than reason.

Introvert - a person turned inward prefers to communicate only with close people, and distances himself from others. He is reserved, not sociable, shy, reserved, keeps his feelings under control, and is prone to introspection. An introvert likes to think about his actions.

Extroverts are much more tolerant of pain than introverts; they pause more during work to chat and drink coffee than introverts; excitement increases the effectiveness of their actions and actions, while for introverts it only interferes.

Introverts prefer theoretical and scientific species activities (eg, engineering and chemistry), while extroverts tend to prefer jobs that involve people (eg, sales, social services).

Introverts are more likely to admit to masturbating than extroverts; but extroverts have sexual intercourse in more early age, more often and with a large number partners than introverts.

Introverts achieve greater academic success than extroverts. Also, students who leave college for psychiatric reasons are more likely to be introverts; while those students who leave for academic reasons are more likely to be extroverts.

Introverts feel more alert in the mornings, while extroverts feel more alert in the evenings. Moreover, introverts work better in the morning, while extroverts work better in the afternoon. In crisis situations, extroverts prefer to seek help and support from people, in communication with relatives and friends, in companies. Introverts crawl into their closet and hide from people.

psychoticism

propensity score antisocial behavior, pretentiousness, inappropriate emotional reactions, high levels of conflict, self-centeredness.
People with a high degree of psychoticism are self-centered, impulsive, indifferent to others, and tend to resist social principles. They are often restless, have difficulty communicating with people and do not receive their understanding, and deliberately cause trouble to others.

The result of a combination of high and low levels of introversion and extraversion with high or low levels of stability and neuroticism became the four categories of people described by Eysenck. High level neuroticism (emotional instability/instability) is characteristic of melancholic and choleric people. Low level - for sanguine and phlegmatic people. But introversion is characteristic of melancholic and phlegmatic people, while extroversion is characteristic of choleric and sanguine people.

Description of temperament types.
Types of temperament according to G. Eysenck

Characteristics of temperament types according to G. Eysenck

G. Eysenck gave characteristics of “pure” types of temperament (that is, in the extreme angular positions of the quadrant). And we already realized that such types are extremely rare. Make adjustments accordingly when you receive test results. Moreover, the closer one type of temperament is to another, the more characteristics overlap.
For example, if you got the result: neuroticism 13, extraversion 17, then you are a sanguine choleric. Then you have the characteristics of both choleric and sanguine people, but not as pronounced as pure Cholerics and Sanguines. IN different conditions, V different situations you can exhibit both characteristics.
Remember that the literature often provides characteristics of “pure” types of temperaments.

As you know, the temperament of humanity is divided into four, far from equal parts. The imperturbable phlegmatic person, the passionate choleric person, the lively sanguine person and the vulnerable melancholic person are present to one degree or another in each of us, because nature has endowed humanity with a huge amount of emotions. Anger, shame, joy, grief, fear, sadness, pride, tenderness, excitement - these are only a small fraction of the components that make up temperament, and, as a result, the character of an individual.

A short conversation is enough for an experienced psychologist to understand what kind of temperament the interlocutor has. But to figure out for yourself which of these feelings prevail in your mind, you can take a temperament test.

What are the characteristics of a temperament test?

Keep in mind that each type has both positive and negative qualities, which can be formed in the process of personality formation. For example, the development of a sense of self-control and good upbringing in melancholic people are manifested by impressionability and emotionality. Under the same conditions, a phlegmatic person cultivates self-control, a sanguine person is characterized by responsiveness, and a choleric person awakens activity.

Having studied yourself, it will be easier for you to understand the motivation for the actions of those around you or to shape the character of a child.

The content of the test to determine temperament is questions, the answers to which allow us to determine three areas of the manifestation of emotions: their amplitude, general activity, and motor skills. They relate to situational behavioral reactions, attitudes towards friends and colleagues. Analysis based on these indicators when taking a test to determine temperament will allow you to judge what type the respondent belongs to.
