Mel through and through...

Felt a little need for some “tests” to chill out so I did this test today from http://oneishy.com/personality. It’s a test based on the 4 personalities – Melocholic, Choleric, Sanguine & Phlegmatic. Those who have read Tim LaHyle’s book “Why do we act the way we do” should have known what are these personality types all about.

After 4 years, I’m still a Mel/Chol/Phleg.
I know for sure, somehow, I will never be a Sanguine.



One of the very obvious strength of a Sanguine is them being talkative, cheerful and bubbly. Those who know me, you’ll know I am not. :)

The test doesn’t seem to be a surprise to me after all.
I always feel that I am a mixture of a Mel, Chol & Phleg, which sometimes, I felt that I am such a rojak. My Mel will see me being oversensitive at times and sometimes, I can get a little too rash AND frank. However, the Phleg side of me will help me control my emotions and rationalize things. Sometimes, when I get too laid-back, my Chol will then tell me that it’s time to get things going and get things done.

We each have our unique personality – there’s no doubt. However, whatever personality I have, I have also learnt over the years, never to be controlled by it and use it as an excuse like “Ya what… I am a Mel thus I get moody easily.” But rather, I have learnt that it’s even wiser to control our emotions and be led by the Word of God.
