8: What is your Greek personality type? [Sanguine, Phlegmatic, Choleric, or Melancholic]I had to take two tests because the first one wouldn’t give me my results. Humph. It says I am melancholic:
Quiet, thoughtful, philosophical, pragmatic, efficient, serious, and frugal, the melancholics amongst us prefer to keep to themselves. They may be moody, pessimistic, prone to depression and/or anxiety, and don’t like taking risks.
The dominant humor for the melancholic temperament is black nile, making them prone to cold and dry conditions such as nutritional deficiency, hypoglycemia, dehydration, dizziness, arthritis, neuromuscular disorders, insomnia, dry stool and constipation, and digestive disorders.
They tend to be thin and lean and often have knobby joints.
Melancholics prefer predictability and routine, less stimulus rather than more.
They tend to be very studious, analytical, and detail-oriented.
Melancholics tend to have fluctuating appetites, and therefore do best when they have a regular eating schedule. Because of their compromised nutrient absorption, they benefit greatly from wholesome grains, meats, and vegetables, and bitter and aromatic herbs.
