If the above list describes you, then you are that temperament group. As I’ve mentioned, there could be a secondary temperament that colors your primary one and depending on how one temperament influences the other. You’ll also notice that some temperament groups lacks discipline or are distracted like the sanguine. As you know yourself, be aware when you tend to slack off from the financial goals you’ve set.
