Social Styles

Awhile back I read a book that helped me know myself and others. The author stated that we are all blends of only four distinct personality types. When we know ourselves, it is easier to understand others. Here's the four:

1) Powerful Choleric (Driver)
2) Perfect Melancholy (Analytical)
3) Popular Sanguine (Expressive)
4) Peaceful Phlegmatic (Amiable)

We will usually have strength and sub-strength blends but one will most probably dominate. I have seen that I am most often in agreement with others of the same strength, learn more from other social styles, and surprisingly we will date and marry our opposites. If we truly understand ourselves and each other, we will see that we have all been brought together to make a whole. Pretty cool, huh?
