WHAT DOES CHOLERIC MEAN IN ENGLISH?

choleric

Four temperaments

Four temperaments is a proto-psychological theory that suggests that there are four fundamental personality types, sanguine, choleric, melancholic, and phlegmatic. Most formulations include the possibility of mixtures of the types. The Greek physician Hippocrates incorporated the four temperaments into his medical theories as part of the ancient medical concept of humorism, that four bodily fluids affect human personality traits and behaviors. Later discoveries in biochemistry have led modern medicine science to reject the theory of the four temperaments, although some personality type systems of varying scientific acceptance continue to use four or more categories of a similar nature.
