Friday Personality Types Open Comments

The first class I teach for my church each year has little to do with Catholic faith or doctrine. I usually don’t have my full roster of students yet, so I don’t want touch on the “hard stuff” until most of my class is in place. The first class is a brief study of personality types, which we then apply to our personal lives and then to Bible characters. My goal is to not only have the students understand themselves better, but to make the dusty pages of their Bibles more real to them, to help them understand that the names in the Bible are real people, not just stories from some bygone time.
I base my class on a book by Florence Littauer titled Personality Plus. She bases her book on the ancient Greek study of personality types using the body fluids, hence the four types are (and remember these are general descriptions of common traits, not every person will have every trait):
Choleric: Choleric personalities are born leaders and dynamic doers. They are independent and self-sufficient. They exude confidence and charisma. Cholerics are goal oriented, and see the big picture, and don’t bother themselves much with details. They move quickly to action and delegate work. They thrive on opposition and are usually right. They can run anything. They are the ones who can and do get things done. TAKEN TO EXTREMES, these traits can yield individuals who are unaffectionate, headstrong, proud, domineering, tactless, manipulative, stubborn, argumentative, and short-tempered workaholics. Most of the world’s leaders have strong choleric streaks in them, and the tyrants take their usually positive traits to the extreme.
Phlegmatics: Peaceful Phlegmatics are wonderful people to have around. They are low-key, calm, and patient people. They are happily reconciled to life and make great parents and sympathetic friends. They are not easily upset or ruffled, operate well under pressure, and keep their calm in a crisis when everyone is losing theirs. They don’t get in a hurry, and are competent and steady in their affairs. They are inoffensive and make good listeners.They have many friends. They don’t like conflict, and are great peacemakers. TAKEN TO EXTREMES; the phlegmatic can be a lazy, timid, indecisive, unambitious, and aimless person to whom results are not important. “Don’t worry, be happy” (I have a relative like this and he drives me up the wall!)
Sanguine: The Popular Sanguine is fun to be around and very charismatic. They tend to have appealing personalities. They are the life of the party because they are usually cheerful and bubbly with a good sense of humor. The Sanguine can be quite naive, because he is so trusting and childlike. He is quite the talker and loves to tell stories. Full of energy and creativity, the Sanguine inspires others to join his group. Sanguines love people and are quite charming, and make friends easily. They seem exciting and are good on stage. They look great on the surface. They don’t hold grudges and apologize quickly. TAKEN TO THE EXTREME, Sanguines can be talkative, disorganized, messy, loud, scatterbrained and unreliable. They ride an emotional roller coaster of high highs and low lows, but neither state seems to last for too long. They are easily hurt, but that’s okay because the perfectly Sanguine personality has the attention span of a gnat, loves being around people too much, and can’t hold onto a grudge for long. Think of your ditzy blonde at the party who can’t remember where she put her car keys.
Melancholy: The Melancholy personality is deep and analytical, desiring perfection. They can be very talented and creative, appreciating beauty. They are philosophical, poetic, idealist, and conscientious. Content to stay in the background, they are genius prone and can be very persistent and thorough. They pursue order in their world and find creative solutions to problems. Good listeners, they also have a deep concern for others, though they make friends cautiously. When they do make friends, they are devoted and faithful. They have a need to finish things. Many artists and engineers are melancholies. TAKEN TO THE EXTREME: The Melancholy can be a persnickety perfectionist, pessimistic, critical and hard to please. This causes them to be unpopular and feel alienated, which generates a negative attitude. The Melancholy can be very insecure and bashful. They can be too sensitive and thus withdrawn. They can be loners and very moody. They are usually a calm and steady personality type, but when hurt or depressed they hold onto resentments and suffer long, deep lows. They are champs at carrying grudges and can be revengeful.
Everyone has all four types in their personality makeup, but usually one or two are dominant. Even day to day someone can fluctuate from being a strong Sanguine to a strong Choleric or even a strong Phlegmatic, but over time a person will usually fall into a particular category. Choleric/Sanguines make great leaders. Phlegmatic/Melancholies are great diplomats. Phlegmatics are good in emergency situations. There is no good or bad personality type, only strength traits taken to the extreme to make them weaknesses.
We had several students experience revelations about themselves last night. One girl pegged herself as Phlegmatic and has a strong Choleric for a sister. Now she knows why they don’t get along very well. One boy thinks he’s a Melancholy, and true to form, he didn’t want to raise his hand. The Sanguines just lit up. Everyone seemed to know of a Choleric in their school. Duh. Cholerics are hard to miss.
Then we looked at various stories in the Bible – Adam and Eve in the garden, Moses trying to weasel out of his commission to bring the Jews out of Egypt, Peter and the foot washing incident – and discussed their types and the fact that God uses all types and all people.
At the end of the class, as we were closing it down and preparing for dismissal, I asked them if they liked the class and if they learned something. Somewhere in the mumbles I heard “This class was AWESOME!” My sanguine side appreciated that comment!
It’s good to do the things I do, sometimes. Thanks to the Holy Spirit that drives me, and the gift of my personality to reach the students.

    Well, I suppose that with with world as we know it coming to an end soon, now would be as good a time as any to get in touch with higher power and see what our prospects for redemption and/or salvation might be. Who know, there might still be hope for all of us.

    #2 EG:

    our prospects for redemption and/or salvation

    Very astute, sir. Redemption and Salvation are not the same thing.
    Redemption is being put back in a free state and there must be an exchange, the Hebrews were redeemed from Egypt, the first born of Israel was redeemed by the first born of the Egyptians.
    Salvation is achieving the final goal. Of all the Israelites that left Egypt who were “of age,” only 2 achieved salvation in the natural sense ie they got into the promised land. This is a great example of the wide and narrow gate.

    I’ve been trying to figure out what the P types for TBO are, but he’s so wrapped up in his narcissistic personality disorder that it’s hard to tell. Sanguine, for sure – he sure loves to be in front of people. Some Choleric – he thinks he’s always right and hates to be corrected.

    Michelle obviously is a strong Choleric. I don’t know that she’s much of anything else, from what I’ve been able to see.

    Yeah, I know that there are a ton of personality tests and ways of divvying up the different characteristics. I try to keep mine simple and easy to understand. One guy has the “DISC” method (Rohr, I think), but I actually have a harder time remembering his methodology than Littauer’s. Four’s about the most I can handle as far as categories go. Beyond that, and you really have to spend more time than is necessary to describe a person.

    Caroline Glick at Jpost.com has an interesting view on the upcoming UN meeting next week and the “palestenian” underpinnings. Definitely worth the whole read; some interesting tidbits below:

    Every single Palestinian leader from the supposedly moderate Fatah party has rejected Israel’s right to exist and said that they will never set aside their demand that Israel accept millions of foreign-born Arabs – the so-called Palestinian “refugees” – as citizens. They say this with the full knowledge that this demand is nothing less than a demand for Israel’s destruction.

    And yet, both the US and the EU, which certainly do not support the destruction of Israel, insist that it is imperative to strengthen and support the supposedly moderate Fatah party which seeks the destruction of Israel.
    /snip
    Yet despite its mafia economy, and its exploitation of their aid funds to support a terrorist organization, the US and EU insist on maintaining the PA’s status as the largest per capita foreign aid recipient in human history. And they do so even as the Eurozone is on the brink of collapse and the US is descending rapidly into a new recession.

    Finally, in the interest of maintaining the peace process, aside from periodic pro forma statements, the US and the EU have turned blind eyes to the PA’s routine and institutional glorification of terrorist mass murderers and Nazi-style anti-Semitic indoctrination and incitement of Palestinian society.

    Given their absolute commitment to the so-called peace process, it would be reasonable to expect the US and the EU to oppose the Palestinians’ decision to move their conflict with Israel from the negotiating table to the UN.

    I am about equal parts of 3 personalities so I guess that would make me a Cholerphleguine.

    It’s got to where you can’t tell the D’s from the R’s as far as OBH is concerned. The D pundits, press and politicians are really laying into him.

    A cardiologist died and was given an elaborate funeral. A huge Heart covered in flowers stood behind the casket during the service.

    Following the eulogy, the heart opened, and the casket rolled inside. The heart then closed, sealing the doctor in the beautiful heart forever.

    At that point, one of the mourners burst into laughter.
    … … When all eyes glaring at him, he said, “I’m sorry, I was just thinking of my own funeral…I’m a gynecologist”.

    The proctologist fainted.

    Been so dang busy lately I’m not sure if I’m washing or hanging out. After today things should be kinda back to normal. Gotta make a mail run, so I’ll leave you with another medical joke. (We went to a doctor’s party yesterday)

    Two 10 year olds were in the surgical prep room an one asked the other
    “What’cha getting done?”

    “Tonsils”

    “That’s no big deal, I had it done last June, it only takes a few minutes, then they take you to a room and feed you ice cream and jello for a couple of days.”

    “Thanks, what are you getting done?”

    “Circumcision.”

    “Man, that’s terrible. I had it done when I was born. Couldn’t walk for a year.”

    And if I had my way, they won’t be anywhere near a computer or game room for oh, maybe fifty years to life.

    Hammy has uncovered a funny new site rightwingnews.com which is where those #attackwatch tweets were listed. And there is lots more to enjoy. I tried the Politically Correct Fairy Tales, where this was my favorite:

    The Ants and the Grasshopper

    All summer long the ants worked and prepared for the winter while the grasshopper went to Rage Against the Machine concerts and played Everquest. The grasshopper laughed and laughed at the ants for working so hard. Then winter came. The ants had plenty of food and shelter while the grasshopper had none. So the government took the ants tax money and built the grasshopper a house, gave him welfare cheese to eat, and paid for courses at the local university that the grasshopper didn’t bother to go to. When the ants complained everyone agreed that they were greedy rich jerks for having more than the grasshopper.

    The Moral of the Story: Taking money from people who work hard and giving it to the lazy is compassionate!

    I think it is the MSM that continues to find bad news “unexpected”. They are either economically illiterate or still besotted enough with Obummer to believe his BS, or more likely BOTH. What amuses/impresses me is how Boehner declined to set up a rebuttal for the HNP’s Big Jobs Speech because he KNEW there would be nothing new, nothing that would actually work, in it.

    You people should read this piece about W. It talks about the changes in him over a 25 year period where he and a reporter/author developed what appears to be a good friendship and how W tends to treat people when others are not around.

    One good quote:

    His only remark about Barack Obama was, as I recall it, ‘No matter who wins, when he hears what I hear every morning, it will change him.’”

    Instead of a dryer for ironing, I’d hang stuff up in the bathroom and let the shower steam do its magic. Also, I never had any dishes in the sink. It wasn’t that never cooked, which I did, but I only had out one plate, one glass, one knife, fork & spoon. It then takes less time to wash the dishes than it took waiting for the water to get hot.

    Bless their stinky little hippie hearts. Trendy hipsters from Austin open up a gluten free vegetarian Mexican restaurant smack dab in the middle of the barrio in Northside. Nothing sez Mexican like a baked chili relleno stuffed with soft tofu.

    Along the way, Staci catered other gatherings for presidential hopeful Dennis Kucinich, Daniel Ellsberg, the Bioneers Convention and the Pacifica National Board to name a few.

    Yeah, baby! Little Dennie Kuku is a client? I’m there!

    Looking for a great place for lunch, dinner or a rocking vegan snack? Our Radical Eats restaurant located in the Houston Heights is the place for you.

    Uh, this ain’t the Heights, sweetie. That’s on the other side of 45. This is Northside. And if’n it ain’t got pork fat, it ain’t Mexican.

    I don’t remember what the restaurant in this location was called before but it has been known by the locals for ages as Tacos de los Muertos (it’s right next to a funeral home) and they served some damn fine tacos. Now it’s run by guys with soul patches. I give it two months.

    I am very happy at a development in our neighborhood. The local Ace Hardware store owner purchased the previously struggling neighborhood store and has done a lot of renovations to it. My “second son I never had” is now a manager there, and doing well, so good for him. They recently opened a post office inside the store, so now I have a post office only a few blocks from my home, and it is staffed by the employees of the hardware store. Whenever I walk in with an envelope in hand, someone hustles PDQ to the counter and I get great service. They perform all the regular services that my old PO provided, and they smile while they do it! I was told that the two post offices that we’ve used for years are closing their customer counters, though they’ll still be used to process mail.

    It’s a win-win for everyone except the union employees. The post office is able to provide services to the public without paying union wages and pensions, the hardware store gets the money from the leased space, and the hardware store gets the extra traffic. The Ace Hardware in Pearland has had a post office for a while now, and I hear the Beamer Street Ace has one, also. Most of them are supposed to have POs on the premises eventually.

    I wonder if the USPS will be able to retain leased P.O. boxes. We’ve had one for 20 yrs, originally because it was a way to subscribe to a lot of computer magazines, w/o having them destroyed by being crammed into a small residential mailbox. Over those 2 decades, the magazines have pretty much all ceased publication. So I think we could get along w/o it now, although my husband still gets a few magazines.

When have the delicate palestenians ever recognized Israel’s right to exist? Wouldn’t one reasonably assume that that would be a prerequisite for statehood. Why the wiss does their capital have to be in the historical ancestral capital of Israel? Why the wiss do the ethnic arabs who call themselves “palestenian” have to live in that spot??Afterall, they have all of NOrth Africa and all the rest of the Middle East, why the wiss do they have to have that tiny parcel of land as well.

    Yes, my HOA newsletter editor is MIA since last night with her 84-yr-old mother on her deathbed. There have have been 2-3 close calls in recent years, but this time it is described as last go-round. A really nice woman, she will be greatly missed.

    When I say MIA, I refer to the fact that the daughter has my election issue of the newsletter in her hands, with the clock ticking on when I can have the ballots in the residents’ hands. The clock ticks differently with these new HOA laws about when the ballots have to be out. This is terrible timing.

    Reading that made me so dayaam mad at THE NY TIMES I was spitless.

    Israel should see the Palestinian bid for statehood not as a threat, but as a chance to return to the negotiating table and prevent further conflict. Recent polls show that up to 70 percent of Palestinians say they believe there will be a new intifada if the deadlock is not broken shortly; this should encourage Israel to seek peace with the moderate Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.

    Way back in another life, I used to love the Reno Air Races.
    3 Including Pilot Dead After Crash at Air Races.
    It would be a P-51, one of my favorite aircraft of all time.

    Welp, just got finished rehanging my closet shelves/rods and bolstered them from below with some 1x furring strips that I cut with my jigsaw. I have been purchasing items for my use around the house, including a 16 foot heavy extension cord. I didn’t want one much longer than that, because then it just becomes to cumbersome and takes up more room to store. I later purchased a 100 ft cord to run a light to my makeshift greenhouse during the winter. I marked my items with pink tape so Hubby would know not to “borrow” them. (I broke him of “borrowing” my kitchen items when he used my best Pyrex measuring cup for fuel additive and my good roasting pan to drain oil, but I use caution, anyway.)

    Imagine my fury when I realized that both of my cords had “disappeared,” only to have my worst fears confirmed when Hubby told me he had “borrowed” them to use at the shop. It took him two weeks to return my long cord, but my shorter one still hasn’t made an appearance. I kept asking for it because I wanted to use it for some household projects, but he never brought it back. Three days ago he told me he had one “like it” in the back of his truck, but never brought it in. When I realized this morning that my closet shelves had collapsed, I asked about it again. He and I ran an errand this evening and ate dinner, and then I headed outside to the truck. “It’s too dark, you’ll have a hard time finding it” he said. “That’s why we invented flashlights,” I replied, and went outside. I didn’t find my cord, but I found one really, really long one and one not as long one. I grabbed the shorter one and came back inside. “That’s not the one,” Hubby said. “It’ll work,” I said and took it upstairs to do my work. I may leave it up there for a while.

    He better not “borrow” my drill.

    Following up on the Post Office, I saw this in the USPS story running on Drudge today:

    And as the president and Congress search high and low for ways to boost job creation, up to 35,000 people could be laid off as part of that effort.

    My husband is convinced that the Post Office cannot fire, reduce, let go, or lay people off, that there are union contracts that simply forbid that. Can Congress pass new laws that bust the union contracts? Is that what it will take?

    Barf Kitty just feel completely asleep on my leg. I was surprised by the increasing pressure on my leg, and I looked down in time to see her head slowly rotate and fall down on my thigh.

    Too bad I’ll have to wake her up so I can wash dishes.

    Condolences to Bonecrusher on the loss of his good friend, and to that gentleman’s family.

    Condolences also to Hamous on the loss of a neighbor, and to the Hernandez family.

    #13 Texanadian. I never tire of seeing a new episode of Adolf and the boys schlepping through a new disaster. Whoever writes the subtitles is devilishly clever. And likely has a price on his head.

    Attackwatch is the perfect petard for the Obama acolytes to hoist themselves on. And unless it’s been mercifully put out of their misery, it’s still hoisting away somewhere in low Earth orbit by now. You just can’t make this stuff up. 😉
