Choleric

The Determined Temperament

Chol means Bile, which means to be Angry. To be –ic or of the/relating to the Bile, means to be of the Anger. You are this, if you are always upset with imaginary ideas. You are the reason for the straw-man argument (a logical fallacy where someone misrepresents or distorts an opponent’s argument to make it easier to attack).  Without you, there would be no one to advance further theory beyond what is already known. Your pickle, if you choose to except it, is that you are the one, who acts out of anger, to create new issues to solve. This is so that others can figure out solutions, before there is a need for it, propelling us towards future goals. Think Rick Sanchez, from Rick & Morty, but also Imagination Land or Eric Cartman, in South Park–lots of fake shit, making you meta-crazy.

Your Pickle: Your temperamental energy is up & out–with walls–to tear down boundaries & people, when you are upset by the status quo. You are never a punching bag, only the one to break your barriers & make you reconsider your stance. You are THE problem in most cases, because you are so determined to get the job done, you do not care about who is in front of you. For this reason alone, it’s good to sometimes be alone.  You are usually the passive-aggressive boss (think Lumberg in Office Space).

“To live is to risk it all; otherwise you’re just an inert chunk of randomly assembled molecules drifting wherever the universe blows you” –Rick Sanchez

The Body Part that you should protect is your Pancreas. 

Sanguine

The Fun-Loving Person

San means Healthy, which means to be Sane. To be -guine means to be in or inside of Health or Sanity, which means to hide internally & to protect your needs, for your own mental health–away from others. You are this, if you are always running away from serious, or big issues that might include you, or not include you. Your pickle, if you choose to except it, is that you are the one who acts like a metal half-pipe that bounces energy off you. This is so that others can take care of you & learn that kindness is the best way to get taken care of right back. Think Morty in Rick & Morty, but also Butters in South Park, just living their life wondering what tf just happened.

Your Pickle: Your temperamental energy is up & out–without walls–to bring joy to others & add sunshine, when people are sad. You are considered a half-pipe, which allows problems to skate off of you. This is appropriate behavior for you to act in, nothing to be denied. You are NOT meant to feel others pain, or to take on the world, but you ARE meant to close your energy and hide when things aren’t going well for you. When you’re an adult, you have be one, but you are also allowed to leave for something better and more up-lifting. 

“Geez, Rick. In the time it took you to make this thing, couldn’t you have just, you know, helped me with my homework?” –Morty Smith

The Body Parts that you should protect are your Lungs & your Large Intestine. 

 Phlegmatic

The More Serious Person

Phlegm means Heat, which means to be Hot. To be –atic means to be of of Heat, which means to take on everything, everyone & all problems all the time to make up for where others are going wrong. You are this, if you think feelings, people & thoughts of others don’t matter. Your pickle, if you choose to accept it, is that you take on the world, and like it. Think Summer Smith in Rick & Morty, who carries her melancholic mom, Beth, but also Stan in South Park, the one who carries his choleric dad, Randy.

Your Pickle: Your temperamental energy is down & in–with walls–to protect others from your sadness, in order to make everyone feel comfortable & supported, without providing for your own comfort, so that you can carry the world in peace. You are the one who likes the weight, but also resents the weight givers. You have a lot of problems with everyone around you, but you don’t like to tell them to their face all the time, but you do sometimes. 

“That’s because losers look stuff up, while the rest of us are carpin’ all them diems.” –Summer Smith

The Body Part that you should protect is your Heart. 

Melancholic

Melan means Black or Dark. To be Chol, means to be Bile, which is to be Angry. -ic is of, so you are of Dark Anger.  Everyone is a problem, all the time. You feel everything very deeply, in order to make up for where others lack & throw their sadness around. Without you, the world would drown in unidentified, unclean & unwanted waters. Your pickle, if you choose to except it, is that you are the one who feels, so that others can feel too, otherwise the world will explode instead of you. Think Beth Smith in Rick & Morty, always crying and drinking wine, also Kyle or Kenny in South Park–one is always whining, the other is always dead.

Your Pickle: Your temperamental energy is down & in–without walls–to bring in others to your sadness, in order to make everyone feel what they don’t want to feel, so we don’t die. You are not meant to take on production, by any means, because it will make you cry, so do not try to carry another person’s load. However, you should try to learn how to cheer yourself up, so that others don’t think you’re a black hole of suck, and get drained like you’re Rogue from X-Men.

“If Morty ever gives up a single dream it will be because of his own disillusionment.”  –Beth Smith,

The Body Parts that you should protect are your Kidneys & your Bladder.
