What is the choleric temperament? Features, types and more!

The human personality is classified into 4 types of temperaments, which are: choleric, sanguine, melancholic and phlegmatic. Each of them has very different strengths and weaknesses. Speaking exclusively about people who have choleric temperament, they are driven by action, by doing, being endowed with a great sense of leadership.

Cholerics are, most of the time, motivated and stubborn when they want something. The element that represents them is fire, but it is not simply fire that burns. It is the fire that warms and makes evolution. The fire that moves the world. However, thanks to this impulsiveness, they can be quite explosive and arrogant, which can be detrimental to the path they aim for. Learn more below.

Personality and temperament traits manifest themselves in childhood and it is important to observe the signs shown by cholerics still in this stage of learning and development, mainly because people with this type of personality trait tend to be very independent.

Check out now a little about the childhood and development of choleric people and how they behave in their relationships!

First of all, it is important to understand that choleric people have their own way of relating and facing the world, and may seem very selfish and cold in some situations. Many people confuse this type of behavior with sanguine, mainly because both are extroverts.

The main characteristic of the choleric is strength and determination in most aspects of life. He wants, he strives and does. It doesn’t measure the consequences too much. He is impulsive and his communication skills are incredible, as he has a very quick and precise reasoning.

The element that represents cholerics is fire. Fire is an element capable of building and destroying what it touches. Thanks to fire, all technological advances were possible and, due to a simple carelessness, it can consume everything around us as well.

And that’s exactly the energy that the person with the choleric temperament emanates. They have a very great building power, they are lively and audacious. They want it, they build it, no matter how long it takes or how much it costs. And, like fire, they are destructive in the same way.

Children with this type are emotional and restless. Usually, they play more actively. They may not be very easy to deal with, being a little tantrum and even poorly disciplined. They love to challenge the authority of their parents and guardians. They tend to be irritable and bring emotions to the surface.

Little cholerics like to be treated like adults and don’t like to be helped very much. “Let me do it myself” is one of the most popular phrases. They are cheerful and make friends everywhere they go. They are optimistic and, even with their little experience, they like to give advice.

The most assertive relationship profile for the choleric is the phlegmatic. The profile of both is complementary, since the brutality and impulsiveness of the choleric is revealed within the passivity and tranquility of the phlegmatic.

In addition, the phlegmatic is usually very indecisive, which is great for the choleric, who always has an opinion about everything. The choleric leads the relationship, but the dynamic needs to be discussed a lot, because the tendency is for him to take control and, for a relationship to flow in a healthy way, it must be led by both.

Arrogance can be a limiting factor in the choleric’s conception of the world. A person cannot learn what he thinks he already knows and this can cause him to ‘punch a knife’. Pride is also latent in their personalities, a trait that can be read as harmful.

They would rather do than watch it be done, so the process of learning visually can be very difficult for them. The choleric prefers to know that doing wrong goes wrong. Usually, they put themselves at risk because of this impatience.

The behavior of the choleric person is not a rule, because a personality cannot be universalized. However, there are a number of factors that are identifiable in most people with this type of temperament, thus classifying them as a type. Check out now the most common characteristics among choleric personality people and how to identify them!

The person who has the personality trait known as an active choleric is someone who definitely doesn’t need a lot of stimulation to get them moving. These are people who are genuinely excited and are always getting involved or creating projects.

They are naturally motivated and always look for improvements in their routine. ‘Everything is fine? Excellent! A sign that I can make it better!’ is the dogma of people with this personality type. In addition, they are born fighters and great strategists.

Decisive cholerics are those who are very fond of taking the lead in situations that other people consider risky. When he’s happy with life, he loves being in that position and feels confident to decide about everything and everyone.

He is a born leader and, with that natural aptitude, they always support ‘weaker’ people naturally. As a child, he tends to surround himself with friends and defends them tooth and nail, as he knows he’s strong enough to handle it, no matter what.

This trait usually causes a little doubt within the choleric temperament, since coldness is not popularly understood as a trait of someone with this personality. In any case, unemotional cholerics are people who have a very low affective frequency, being very selective in making friends and also demonstrating great emotional distance.

These people show almost no compassion, and can even be quite cold towards the emotions of others. Usually, they are bothered by the crying or euphoria of others. But they are still endowed with great intelligence and ambition, in addition to an increased communicative capacity.

Practical cholerics are those who are always willing to take a shortcut or help in some way. These people have incredibly quick thinking and manage to optimize time and resources like no one else. They are great at solving problems, from the simplest to the most complex.

The big disadvantage of this form of organization is that, as they are fast, they tend not to evaluate decisions very well, not always getting it right. They are born leaders and are very smart in some situations. Also, as they think faster than most, they have a reputation for being manipulative and bossy.

A person who knows what he wants is usually very incisive in his decisions and in the way he behaves. This is the case with cholerics. Their strength and certainty in what they believe and want is one of the most striking characteristics of the first type of temperament.

They are good and they know it, causing them to behave in a way that borders on arrogance. They are people of a very unique personality. And when they want something, they constantly call to get it.

Being explosive is one of the traits present in the personality of choleric people. These spikes of anger are constant, but not as intense as those of a sanguine person. That’s because, in the middle of the outbreak, the choleric does a little damage analysis and polices himself.

When leaders, they can be confrontational and authoritarian. They don’t like to be challenged and, above all, they don’t like their truth to be questioned. However, after they are calmer, they usually go back and apologize, if they deem it necessary.

Because they are endowed with a strong personality and a very high capacity for resolution, they can be intolerant and even insensitive to the needs of others. This enormous strength they have can keep them distant from their real needs, being hard on others.

But this intolerance is because they do not see their own pain. And, in this way, they ignore those of others. In any case, it is a characteristic that can be pointed out and must be corrected. Pain is pain, even if it doesn’t hurt.

It is normal for a person with a choleric temperament to prioritize his needs more, because he is very clear on where he wants to go and, normally, he does not care much about the means he will use to achieve this. She can present herself with a dubious character, especially when we are talking about her interests.

This person has great difficulty in seeing the other’s pain, and his world composed of ‘I’ distances him from this empathy to deal with what the other feels or wants. ‘Be led or leave me’ may be a common thought in the choleric’s mind.

The speed and dynamics of life are what move them. They want and want it for yesterday! Therefore, cholerics are extremely impatient when it comes to their needs and wants.

They work fast and understand that the world must work at the same speed. However, when you need a favor, they act just as quickly, being the quickest and most committed temperament among the 4.

Our personality is not built in a solid way, but in a complementary way. In this way, we can have more than one trait of a type of temperament in our personality. These crossings can be done in a primary or secondary way. Check out more about these crossed personalities and how they manifest themselves during life!

The primary choleric temperaments are crosses between the choleric temperament and the other 3 temperaments. They are called primary, as they bring the choleric temperament as the basis of the personality, being only influenced by the complementary temperament.

It is worth mentioning that these personalities are complex, so the complementary traits may vary between people, because personalities are not units. In any case, the primary temperament acts as a kind of sign and the secondary as an ascendant or moon.
