Temperament Test

Temperament is a set of innate traits that underlies personality. Find out which of the 4 below temperaments suits you best. It is highly likely that you are a blend of two temperaments, one being more dominant than the other. It is also a bit possible that there is a tiny bit of the traits of a third temperament. It is very, very unlikely that there is a blend of all four temperaments in one person.
You be the judge.
Temperament score range (so far):
Sanguine: 20-35
Choleric: 36-51
Melancholy: 52-67
Phlegmatic: 68-80
To figure out secondary temperament, look at weighting of scores and see which other number you chose the most, other than the dominant temperament number, i.e. the first choice in answers is Sanguine, the second is Choleric, the third is Melancholy, and the fourth is Phlegmatic.
