The Popular Sanguine Temperament

Introduction

Influencing of others, SP – Artisan, The Sanguine – we call this POPULAR PERSONALITY is receptive by nature and outgoing. They are usually called a ‘super-extrovert’. This temperament is usually thought of as a “natural salesman” but they also tend to enter professions that are outgoing such as acting. They  “lead into a room with their mouth” and are never at a loss for words. There outgoing nature makes them the envy of more timid temperament types. They are most comfortable around people and does not like being alone. They are  often known as a “toucher”; reaching out and touching the arm or shoulder of the person they are talking with. This can make more introverted temperament nervous and uncomfortable.

Their energy can make them seem more confident than they actually are and their cheery disposition often causes others to excuse their weaknesses by saying, “That’s just how he/she is”. The Popular is mostly a happy person whom others are glad to have around.

The weakness of The Popular includes a lack of discipline which can be expressed in many ways – including a generally “messy” lifestyle or overeating. The Popular is the most emotional of the temperaments and can burst into tears or a rage without warning. These “bursts” are usually over as fast as they occur but this lack of emotional consistency can affect other areas of thier lives. They may be “morally flexible” and may take advantage of others via their good nature. A Popular’s tremendous personal talents can be made or broken by his lack of self-discipline.

As a parent they make the home fun. Kids friends like them the most.  They turn disaster into humour and love to be running the show.  But on the other side their homes remain in a frenzy.  They often forgets kids appointments.  They are highly disorganiseed and often give verdict without listening to the whole story.

At work they volunteer for the, thinks up new activities and look stunning on the surface.  They are  very creative and colorful and has tremendous energy and enthusiasm. They start anything with a flashy way and charms and inspires others to work. But due to their overly extrover nature they would talk rather than work.  They forget obligations, apoointments and often find it difficult to follow through.  Thier priorities are generally out of order and they are easily distracted from their job at hand.

As a friend they doesn’t hold grudges, apologize quickly.  They love people and make friends easily.  They thrive of friends compliment and prevent dull moments. But due to their attention seeking nature their tendency is to become popular.  They hates to be alone and have a great need of centre stage.  They look for credit and answers for others.

Insights!

No Temperament is good or bad. This is who we are. And we need not change to become effective, we need only to prove and finetune.

Every Temperament has its strong areas and those areas which are limiting that Temperament to become its best.  Here we need to understand this that the weak areas of any temperament are not anything else but the extreme of their strong areas. 

So understanding temperament is the start point of knowing the true strengths and becoming aware of the weak areas in order to become the best version of ourselves. 

 

We are not ‘One’ temperament.  We are Blended. We all are Blended.

We are not of singular temperament or one inherent personality styles but we are a combination of temperaments.
