I have taken my personality test just today
I have learned that I'm melancholic type of person.
The melancholic temperament
is
fundamentally introverted and thoughtful. Melancholic people often were
perceived as very (or overly) pondering and considerate, getting rather
worried when they could not be on time for events. Melancholics can be
highly creative in activities such as poetry and art - and can become
preoccupied with the tragedy and cruelty in the world. Often they are
perfectionists. They are self-reliant and independent; one negative part
of being a melancholic is that they can get so involved in what they
are doing they forget to think of others.
Melancholic people are emotionally sensitive, perfectionistic introverts.
Perfectionistic
The defining feature of a melancholic attitude is perfectionism.
They are idealists who wish for things to be a certain way, and they get
distressed when they are not.
They hold themselves and others to unrealistically high standards, and get distressed when these standards are not met.
This leads to them being
self-deprecating - because they do not meet their own standards - and
critical of others - because those others do not meet their standards.
Their generally dour demeanour comes from their inner struggle between an imperfect world and a desire for perfection.
Introverted
Melancholics are the most introverted of the temperaments in that
they crave time alone, and are most at ease in their own company.
They can enjoy spending time with others, but this drains their energy, and they need alone time in order to recharge.
Sensitive
Melancholics are very emotional. They are moved deeply by beauty,
and by distress. They are very easily hurt, because of their
perfectionistic tendencies.
Often their moods are like delicate glass sculptures; built up
slowly, deliberately, and carefully, but easily broken, and hard to
repair once shattered.
They respond to things that they dislike with misery and with tears rather than with rage.
Role
In our distant ancestors, the melancholic members of a pack may have
been the analysts, the information gatherers. They scouted for
potential danger, or for food, and reported back to the pack leader. The
more accurate their findings were, the better; this led to a trend
towards perfectionism, as the 'analysts' closer to perfection survived
better than those that made sloppy mistakes.
In current society, they often tend towards analytical roles such as
scientists, analysts, programmers, logicians, and so on. In fantasy
settings, they may be wizards or sages.
This is me the real me :)
I'm happy being myself :)
be true to yourself :)
