Introduction: Romans 12:3
In the ancient world, the Greek physician and philosopher, Hippocrates, (460-370 BC) incorporated what he called “four temperaments” into his medical practice. These personality types were sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic, and melancholy. His theory was that each one of these personality types was produced by the balance of our four main bodily fluids: blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm. Of course, that theory was later proved wrong. However, Hippocrates’ theory opened up doors to the larger idea of being able to classify people by their personalities. Many years later, psychiatrists and psychologists are still following in the footsteps of Hippocrates, as they’ve come up with a number of ways to classify people by their personality types.
