What is a Melancholic /

Phlegmatic Like?
You are sensitive, idealistic, and harmonious. You have high ideals and the
perseverance necessary to accomplish your goals. You are very organized, detailed
and conscientious, and prefer to work cooperatively as a team player. You are a
loyal and generous friend. You are thoughtful and careful when making decisions.

You need alone time to recharge your batteries (intense social actitivies or large
groups will stress you out) and you usually need motivation to get started on new
projects. Once you begin, though, you will persevere to the end. You can be
perfectionistic and have some fear about new situations (fear of what might go
wrong). Friends might think you are a little pessimistic--though you would say
"realistic" (and you are probably right). You may be an artist, musician, counselor,
scholar, teacher, actor, writer, or priest.

You might have a tendency to say "no" when you first hear a request. Others may
perceive this as "snobbishness," but it really is the fact that you need to think things
through. Unless you are very comfortable, and are surrounded by understanding
long-time friends, you may be slow to warm up in a social gathering.  The tendency
to dwell on things for a long time,  combined with your sensitivity toward
interpersonal relationships, can result in anxiety, decreased self-esteem or deep
hurts. 

You are good at long-range planning, organization, and attention to detail. You can
pursue idealistic goals, with long-term academic requirements, such as attaining a
doctorate.  You value your friendships, but you don't need many--just a few really
good friends, to whom you are intensely loyal. You can spend hours in artistic
endeavors, gardening, in nature, reading, playing music. 

If your temperament is melancholic-phlegmatic, for a better understanding of your

temperament it is recommended that you read the full descriptions of the
melancholic and phlegmatic.

Translate:

Anda sensitif, idealis, dan harmonis. Anda memiliki cita-cita tinggi dan ketekunan
yang diperlukan untuk mencapai tujuan Anda. Anda sangat terorganisir, detail dan
teliti, dan lebih suka bekerja secara kooperatif sebagai pemain tim. Anda adalah
teman yang setia dan murah hati. Anda bijaksana dan berhati-hati saat membuat
keputusan. Anda perlu waktu sendiri untuk mengisi ulang baterai Anda (kegiatan
sosial yang intens atau kelompok besar akan membuat Anda stres) dan Anda
biasanya membutuhkan motivasi untuk memulai proyek baru. Namun, begitu Anda
mulai, Anda akan bertahan sampai akhir. Anda bisa menjadi perfeksionis dan
memiliki ketakutan tentang situasi baru (takut apa yang mungkin salah). Teman
mungkin berpikir Anda sedikit pesimis - meskipun Anda akan mengatakan "realistis"
(dan Anda mungkin benar). Anda mungkin seorang seniman, musisi, konselor,
sarjana, guru, aktor, penulis, atau pendeta. Anda mungkin memiliki kecenderungan
untuk mengatakan "tidak" saat pertama kali mendengar permintaan. Orang lain
mungkin menganggap ini sebagai "keangkuhan", tetapi sebenarnya Anda perlu
memikirkan semuanya dengan cermat. Kecuali jika Anda merasa sangat nyaman,
dan dikelilingi oleh teman-teman lama yang pengertian, Anda mungkin lambat
melakukan pemanasan dalam pertemuan sosial. Kecenderungan untuk memikirkan
hal-hal untuk waktu yang lama, dikombinasikan dengan kepekaan Anda terhadap
hubungan antarpribadi, dapat menyebabkan kecemasan, penurunan harga diri, atau
rasa sakit yang dalam. Anda pandai dalam perencanaan jangka panjang,
pengorganisasian, dan perhatian terhadap detail. Anda dapat mengejar tujuan
idealis, dengan persyaratan akademis jangka panjang, seperti meraih gelar doktor.
Anda menghargai persahabatan Anda, tetapi Anda tidak membutuhkan banyak -
hanya beberapa teman yang sangat baik, kepada siapa Anda sangat setia. Anda
dapat menghabiskan berjam-jam dalam usaha artistik, berkebun, di alam, membaca,
bermain musik. Jika temperamen Anda melankolis-apatis, untuk pemahaman yang
lebih baik tentang temperamen Anda disarankan agar Anda membaca deskripsi
lengkap tentang melankolis dan apatis.

 ADVICE

If you are a sensitive, perfectionist melancholic, recognize that your self-worth does
not depend on being perfect. Don't worry about the past or future: live in the present
moment. Learn what things you can let go of; especially let go of negative self-
judgments. When you are overwhelmed by your own thoughts or emotions, try
focusing on others instead; be charitable and thankful; keep a gratitude journal; don't
set your goals and expectations impossibly high; practice flexibility and sociability. To
motivate yourself, think "what is the worst that could happen?"

Jika Anda orang yang sensitif dan melankolis perfeksionis, sadari bahwa harga diri
Anda tidak bergantung pada kesempurnaan. Jangan khawatir tentang masa lalu
atau masa depan: hiduplah di saat ini. Pelajari hal-hal yang dapat Anda lepaskan;
terutama melepaskan penilaian diri yang negatif. Saat Anda kewalahan oleh pikiran
atau emosi Anda sendiri, cobalah berfokus pada orang lain; jadilah dermawan dan
bersyukur; membuat jurnal rasa syukur; jangan menetapkan tujuan dan ekspektasi
Anda terlalu tinggi; melatih fleksibilitas dan keramahan. Untuk memotivasi diri
sendiri, pikirkan "hal terburuk apa yang bisa terjadi?"
