Authors Florence and Marita Littauer have written a book called Getting Along with Almost Anybody．It details the four types of people．Which one are you?

    Sanguine

    Sanguine people have appealing personalities．Everyone wants to be around them．They are natural and exciting，and they know how to have fun!

      But sanguine people have weaknesses，too．They can be too talkative and too loud．They sometimes speak without thinking．

    Choleric  

    These people aye the leaders among us．Words like coincident，independent and motivated （有动机的）describe choleric people．They know exactly what they want，and won’t stop until they get it! They are usually adventurous and willing to take risks．

      Choleric people don’t cry or show much emotion at all．But because they show so little emotion，they often have no sympathy for very emotional people．They can be bossy and impatient．They are also very competitive．

    Melancholic

    If you need to talk to someone about a problem，talk to a melancholic person．Why? Because melancholic people really listen to others．They are thoughtful，kind and loyal to their friends．

Melancholic people are very clever and sensitive to beauty．But they often doubt themselves and become sad easily．

    Phlegmatic

    Most people get along well with phlegmatic people because they are relaxed，peaceful and easygoing．They are usually patient，and lead well balanced lives．They rarely get upset，and they can easily calm others down．

    Phlegmatic people take life slow and easy．But this can be a weakness as well as a strength, Phlegmatic people can be unmotivated and unsure．

    Understanding yourself

    Regardless of what kind of people you are，your personality is not set in stone．You can develop strengths that do not conic naturally to you．You can also work on your weaknesses．
