Temperament Types
Traditionally, there have been four temperaments, Melancholy, Sanguine, Choleric, and Phlegmatic. The fifth temperament, that was identified by the Arnos' research over 14 years ago, is called the Supine. This identification area describes a person who is a servant and feels that he or she has little or no value.
The Five temperament:
Melancholy Temperament
Hippocrates, an early Greek historian, who lived from 460 - 370 BC considered the Melancholy as the “black temperament”. No other color best describes this temperament more accurately, for the Melancholy is constantly tormented by dark or “black moods”. Of all the other temperaments the Melancholy in Inclusion surpasses the other temperaments in this area. It is important to understand that temperament cannot be accurately assessed just by observation; temperament analysis via the Arno Profile System is necessary to accurately identify a person’s temperament.

Sanguine Temperament
Hippocrates identified the Sanguine by the color red, or “blood”, which fits them perfectly. The Sanguine in Inclusion (social interaction, surface relationships and intellectual energies) is a very social person who likes to be with people. Of all the temperaments, the Sanguine is the easiest to be around socially. They bring life and energy into a room by their very presence. Their cheerfulness and humor brighten everyone’s life. They are an optimistic type of person who believes life is an exciting and fun-filled experience that should be lived to the fullest. Inactivity causes them stress because the pace at which they like to live their lives is fast and furious. The Sanguine in Inclusion is the most impulsive of all the temperaments. Read more ....
Choleric Temperament
This temperament is identified as the most powerful (and destructive) of the temperaments. It is not unreasonable to state that the world’s greatest feared dictators and diabolical criminals were perhaps Choleric. However, when this person truly comes to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior, and uses their strengths for the glory of God they make some of the greatest leaders in Christianity. The Apostle Paul was in my opinion a Choleric. Prior to his conversion on the Damascus Road Paul used his temperament strengths to advance the cause of Judaism, self interest and terrorizing Christians. After Paul’s salvation he soon became the Apostle to the Gentiles. Read more ....
Phlegmatic Temperament
Hippocrates linked the Phlegmatic with phlegm, a body fluid that is thick, slow-moving and almost stagnant in nature. To the observer, the Phlegmatic’s are extremely slow-paced and stubborn. The Phlegmatic goes through life doing as little as possible, quietly, and expending little energy. It is not clear whether the Phlegmatic has very little energy, or it is because they refuse to use what little energy they do have. They are task oriented with a great capacity for work that requires precision and accuracy and expends a minimal amount of energy. Only sleep can regenerate a Phlegmatic in Inclusion. Read more .....
Supine Temperament
The Supine temperament is new to the list of temperaments. The other four temperaments have been known for about 2,400 years. However, during the 7 years of research conducted by the National Christian Counselors Association on about 5,000 people, the evidence of the fifth temperament was discovered and incorporated into the Arno Profile System. Up until that time in 1984 there were people that didn’t “fit” into any of the other four temperaments. It is important to understand that, as for all types, temperament cannot be accurately assessed just by observation; temperament analysis via the Arno Profile System is necessary to accurately identify a person’s temperament.
