What temperament are you?

When my ex-boss resigned, on the last day he told me that I am a melancholy person. At that time, I didn't know what that was. I looked up in dictionary.com and found this description

Sadness or depression of the spirits; gloom: “There is melancholy in the wind and sorrow in the grass” (Charles Kuralt).
Pensive reflection or contemplation.
Archaic.
Black bile.
An emotional state characterized by sullenness and outbreaks of violent anger, believed to arise from black bile.


Then I told him, aiyah...why do you say that I am depressing? Then he told me, that melancholy does not mean depressed lah. And he said in his religion, they look people by four quadrants of temperaments, which are Sanguine/Melancholy/Choleric/Phlegmatic. So i asked him what does melancholy means, and he said, he ain't telling much, just these words, gifted and self-sacrificing and told me to buy a book by the name of "Why you act the way you do" by Tim Lahaye to find out more. So mean.....I couldn't find that exact book, but I found another book written by this author describing these four temperaments.

And then, I found this website, a test to find out what temperaments you are....

COOL. So my boss was right ...hahhahah...He told me that when he meets someone, he usually like to judge and decide which temperament they are. But he found it hard to see mine. He only managed to decide, a month before he left. Hmm and i wonder what he meant by that. Hahhaha. He made it sound so sad..He told me, that was the only thing that he wants to tell me before he leaves...and told me, to choose my friends properly. AND NOW, i wonder even more, as for what he meant by that. Hahahha he is so mysterious. Ah well....I'll ask him more when i talk to him....He told me a lot on the night that he left, revealed a lot about myself, of which i did not even know. I think he is truly a good educator. Here's to you, my teacher.....:)
