Mh.....I know that there seems to be some correspondence between humoral theory/ temperaments
and MBTI....... if not, than at least Keirsey associated

Melancholy --> SJ
Sanguine --> SP
Choleric --> NF
Phlegmatic --> NT


but....I always have the impression that these mappings do not really work in such a simplistic way.... what do you think?
In temperament test I always score highest on Melancholy, and lowest an Choleric....though I believe SJ to be my secondary temperament, I am absolutely sure that I am an NF. I often find characteristics among the melancholy description which I find would also fit into certain NF descriptions....

Oh, my mom used to obsessed with this system a while back. She would always says " *my name* you are such a phlegmatic" and I had no idea what that meant for a while haha. But anyways, I think the humoral system might be a little too broad to be compared with the MBTI, even though the system allows for a secondary trait(for example, I am a phlegmatic/sanguine).

This website goes into detail about the humours and its MBTI correlations. Its interesting if you want to research it further. I am Choleric/ melancholy

I bought this book and wrote on every page, connecting it to Myers-Briggs, though the author does some connecting himself. I found the book very confusing until I translated everything to M-B and did some organizing, then I could understand what the author was getting at.

I love categorizing, so I loved this book.

IMO:

ExxP= Sanguine
IxxP= Phlegmatic
ExxJ= Choleric
IxxJ= Melancholic

I always test melancholy, or sometimes melancholy-phlegmatic.

I'm inclined to agree with the website posted above.....

Melancholy --> NF
Sanguine --> SP
Choleric --> NT
Phlegmatic --> SJ

Can someone care to explain what the four words really mean, to me? lol

[Kevinaswell]

I have no idea what kind of sense of humor I have at all.

I did get the comedian award somehow, though...

Couldn't tell you how though >.<

[firedell]

I test as Sanguine, so I agree with what you said about SP's.

[Mutatio NOmenis]

The humors do not exactly relate to the Kiersian temperaments.

Sanguine is definitely SP, but there's the NF goodwill in there.
Choleric is very unhealthy SJ, but there's NT brutality in there.
Melancholic is somewhat NF, although there's NT reflection in there.
Phlegmatic is NT, but only INT; ENTP is more sanguine and ENTJ is choleric.

I think that these have to do more with the most visible aspects of a person: E/I, T/F, and J/P. N/S seems to be pretty random between the temperaments. Here's how i think it goes:

EFP: Sanguine
IFP: Melancholic
EFJ: Sanguine
IFP: Melancholic
ETP: Sanguine
ITP: Phlegmatic
ETJ: Choleric
ITJ: Melancholic

There's space for it to be done on a type-by-type basis, because even here, there's soem definite chances for the N/S to decide the humor.
