The 4 Personality Type- The Choleric

The Choleric

The Choleric personality type is associated with testosterone, and although every temperamental makeup is represented by members of both genders.

Choleric are money- and success-oriented people. They are fascinated by stocks, investments, money markets, and all kinds of revenue generation methods, just like others are fascinated by art and poetry.

These people are very practical, and they make for naturally gifted business people.

Continually looking for opportunities and always working on themselves, they build successful businesses that thrive and benefit others.

That doesn’t mean that these people are greedy for money by any means!

From their perspective, work is fun.

However, they never do well in a subordinate position – they are all about independence, financially and otherwise.

Another unique quality of choleric people is their ability to systematize everything.

Their concentration is deep and narrow. When they are busy with something, Choleric are simply not capable of noticing other things that are going on around them.

You could think of them as kind of “one-trick-ponies”.

These people are kings and queens of figuring out things.

High testosterone activity in these men and women makes them very straightforward.

Choleric people don’t strive to be polite, respectful, or friendly. They do stuff according to what is convenient to them and, most importantly, is in line with their goals.

Wasting words and repeating the obvious seem pointless to them.

Forcing them to do so is a surefire way to annoy them!

Choleric personality is characterized by pragmatism, and it is typical for them to take their decisions fast and act immediately.

Unlike many others, they don’t have a problem when offered multiple choices.

Extremely tough-minded, they act under their motto: “Talk is cheap”. It means that they rather prefer to prove themselves with action and put the talk aside.

You will hardly hear a choleric going on and on about what he is planning to do like it often happens with sanguine-phlegmatic.

Testosterone Rules

People with a choleric personality have excellent problem-solving skills – as long as they are satisfied with the reasoning behind their strategy. 

Both confidence and daring arise from high testosterone activity.

They have no problem with tolerating long hours of work, isolation, and discomfort if only this takes them to their goal.

Highly independent people with not much respect for diplomas and other credentials, they are armed with their autonomy and independence.

Both Choleric men and women are likely to be highly competitive, almost to the point of being aggressive, which is another sign of high testosterone activity.

People with this temperament are determined to succeed. They set high standards and work long and hard. However, they are rarely satisfied with the time and effort they spend on their projects.

They keep on raising the mark to the point where many of them live with the constant worry that one day, they will fail.

      Once they disappoint themselves, they will blame themselves ruthlessly.

However, Choleric people never give up their attempts to succeed and continue striving to the goals.

They love knowledge and look for intelligent partners. Otherwise, they generally avoid socializing unless they are interested in the conversation, which of course should be somehow related to their goals.

This temperamental makeup is typically characterized by detachment from their feelings because they admire emotional control.

Choleric strive to be logical, analytical, competent, just, and convincing.

These people usually appear calm and collected.

They don’t smile much and avoid eye contact, and despite their best efforts at total self-control, they might “lose it” sometimes and explode into rage.
