Personality — Характер человека

All people are different. Some are jolly, easy-going and friendly, others are melancholic, reserved and distrustful; some are active and sociable, others prefer to stay at home and enjoy loneliness and silence. Character is an interesting and complicated part of personality.

The temperaments

There are four basic temperaments: sanguine, phlegmatic, choleric and melancholic.

Sanguine people are jolly, optimistic and communicative, they like to be in the company of others and they don’t fixate on negative events.

Phlegmatic people are calm, patient, tolerant and caring, it is almost impossible to make them angry or excited, they are usually faithful friends.

People of the Melancholic temperament are serious, careful and quiet. They like loneliness and are disposed to sad and thoughtful moods.

Finally, Choleric people are short-tempered, impulsive and restless. They are usually strong and energetic leaders.

Most often, people have

mixed temperaments, for example, half choleric and half melancholic, or half melancholic and half phlegmatic.

Introversion and extraversion

People are also divided into two types: extraverts and introverts.

The first type is open, expressive and outgoing; these people look for new impressions and like to communicate with others. The outer world is their source of energy.

The second type is quiet and reserved. Introverted people feel much more comfortable, when they are alone. Their source of energy is inside themselves.

Optimists and pessimists

All people can show a variety of emotions, be cheerful or sad, happy or unhappy. But at the same time, people can be divided into two groups, depending on their general outlook — positive or negative. We usually call them optimists and pessimists. The former are disposed to feeling happy and self-confident, while the latter — to feeling unhappy and focusing on problems.

Все люди разные. Одни — жизнерадостные, легкие и дружелюбные, другие — меланхоличные,

закрытые и недоверчивые; одни активны и общительны, в то время как другие предпочитают оставаться дома и проводить время в одиночестве и тишине. Характер — интересная и сложная часть личности.

Типы темперамента

Существует четыре основных типа темперамента: сангвиник, флегматик, холерик и меланхолик.

Сангвиники жизнерадостны, оптимистичны и общительны, они любят бывать в компании других людей и не зацикливаются на негативных событиях.

Флегматики спокойны, терпеливы, толерантны и заботливы, их практически невозможно разозлить и взволновать, они обычно верные друзья.

Люди меланхолического склада серьезны, осторожны и держатся тихо. Они любят одиночество и склонны к печальным и задумчивым настроениям.

Наконец, Холерики вспыльчивы, импульсивны и неспокойны. Обычно они сильные и энергичные лидеры.

Чаще всего у людей смешанные темпераменты, например, наполовину холерик и наполовину меланхолик или наполовину меланхолик и наполовину флегматик.

Интроверсия и экстраверсия

Люди также делятся на два типа: экстраверты и интроверты.

Первый тип открытый, экспрессивный и коммуникабельный; эти люди ищут новых впечатлений и любят взаимодействовать с другими. Внешний мир — их источник энергии.

Второй тип тихий и закрытый. Интроверты чувствуют себя гораздо комфортнее, когда они одни. Их источник энергии находится внутри них самих.

Оптимисты и пессимисты

Все люди могут проявлять целый спектр эмоций, быть радостными или грустными, счастливыми или несчастными. Но в то же время людей можно разделить на две группы, в зависимости от их общего мироощущения — положительного или негативного. Мы обычно называем их оптимистами и пессимистами. Первые предрасположены к тому, чтобы чувствовать себя счастливыми и уверенными в себе, в то время как вторые — к тому, чтобы чувствовать себя несчастными и фокусироваться на проблемах.
