According to the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates (source: http://www.loveseriously.com/news.php?view=6), known as the father of the medicine, over 400 years BC, there were four fundamental personality types, or temperaments. They are:

1. Sanguine, which means cheerful.

2. Choleric, which means irascible, quick-tempered.

3. Melancholy, which means excessively gloomy.

4. Phlegmatic, which means slow or unexcitable.

The four personality types are described below:
