The Choleric Sanguine

Description of the Choleric Sanguine by TimLaHaye.

It's the second most extroverted temperament blend, after the Sanguine Choleric. This man's life is given completely over to activity. Most of his efforts are productive and purposeful, but watch his recreation; it is so activity-prone that it borders on being violent.

He is a natural promoter and salesman, with enough charisma to get along well with others. Certainly the best motivator of people and one who thrives on a challenge, he is almost fearless and exhibits boundless energy. A convincing debater, what he lacks in facts or arguments he makes up in bluff or bravado.

The weaknesses of this man, the chief of which is hostility, are as broad as his talents. He combines the quick, explosive anger of the sanguine (without the forgiveness)and the long-burning resentment of the choleric. He is the one personality type who not only gets ulcers himself, but gives them to others.

Impatient with those who do not share his motivation and energy, he prides himself on being brutally frank. It is difficult for him to concentrate on one thing very long, which is why he often enlists others to finish what he has started. He is opinionated, prejudiced, impetuous, and inclined doggedly to finish a project he probably should not have started in the first place.He is apt to justify anything he does, and rarely hesitates to manipulate or walk over other people to accomplish his ends.

=) So, how true is it? Am I a choleric sanguine?
