The ancient Greeks believed that humans have four main personality types: optimistic, impatient, calm and analytical. According to them, these personality types have a great influence on who we are, how we act, and how we make our decisions. The Greek physician Hippocrates believed that these four types of personality were created out of excess or lack of four different types of body fluids: yellow bile, black bile, phlegm, and blood.

You are an optimistic person

You’re curious and creative, love the little pleasures life has to offer and enjoy impressing others with your external appearance. You aren’t afraid of taking risks when going after your dreams, and you may easily get bored from day to day habitual life. Because there is always something going on in your life you prefer to focus on only a few things at one time, instead of paying your full attention to each one separately.

You are an impatient person

You are a person who holds money to high regard and enjoys working, but at the same time has trouble holding down jobs that require you to meet other’s demands. You like proving your abilities instead of just talking about them, and you are capable of succeeding in life because of the analytical and logical thinking that characterize you. You just need to control your temper to allow others to help you do so.

You are a calm person

Imagination is what differentiates you from others and you often try to interpret other’s thought to deeply understand their feelings. You always do your best to find a positive solution to arguments that spring up between your friends, but unfortunately, you have a hard time solving problems that you face. Luckily, even when facing a problem, you stay cool calm and collected.

You are an analytical person

You are very loyal to your family and to the people who are part of your daily life, you don’t have a problem working in a hierarchy because order is very important in your life. Because you tend to rely on facts and not on feelings when trying to prove something, you are known as being pessimistic from time to time. Patience can lead you to success, therefore it’s better that you pause and weigh all your options before coming to conclusions.
