Sanguine
A sanguine (from Latin sanguinicus , “thoroughbred” or “thoroughbred” in the humoral pathological sense, since the 12th century from sanguis , German blood ) is a cheerful, lively and reckless person, based on the theory of temperament . Together with the choleric , phlegmatic and melancholic, he forms the four temperaments that are based on humoral pathology .
He is also seen as imaginative, talkative, and optimistic. Unsteadiness, few scruples and frequent excesses are ascribed to him as negative characteristics.
According to Hans Jürgen Eysenck , the sanguine (from Latin sanguineus "full-blooded") temperament is characterized by the combination of emotional stability with extraversion .
The emergence of the character features of a human being of today's personality psychology assessed but differentiated; many other factors are involved in their formation.
