Читать книгу Your Man. 4 Personality Types - Artsun Akopyan - Страница 6

Shakespeare once wrote, “All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players.”

Actually, for the stage to function, other people besides the “players” are necessary. Someone has to write the script, someone needs to organize the sale of tickets, and of course there must be an audience to watch the performance. In total, we have four roles performing on the stage. Let us refer to them as the following:

– Scriptwriter;

– Director;

– Actor;

– Spectator.

Why four exactly?

Because they correspond to four types of temperament discovered by the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates and described by Galen, a Roman physician of Greek origin. The temperament types are well known: phlegmatic, sanguine, choleric, and melancholic. Each temperament behaves differently in society, and each subconsciously seeks to play the role that corresponds with their higher nervous activity type. In other words, the four stage characters are a social expression of temperaments, their manifestation in public life. Or, to put it even simpler, they are the role types.

Your man may not fully correspond to one of these temperaments, but the most important features will certainly coincide with your personality and disposition.

Let us see how these types differ from each other.
