Temperament (from Latin temperamentum - the proper ratio of parts) - the individual characteristics of a person that determine the dynamics of his behavior and mental processes.
What is the difference between character and temperament
Temperament reflects the formal aspects of the flow of mental processes and their manifestations in behavior, without affecting their content (subject orientation, emotional background, etc.). Character, on the other hand, determines exactly the content that can be represented in behavior that is different in type of temperament.
What are the 4 types of temperament
Depending on the type of higher nervous activity, four main types of temperament are distinguished: phlegmatic, sanguine, choleric and melancholic.

Sanguine - balanced, optimistic, cheerful.
Choleric - hot, unrestrained, bold, perky.
Phlegmatic - calm, restrained.
Melancholic - sensitive, not energetic, painfully reacting to troubles, prone to despondency.
