Your phlegmatic core makes you patient, even-tempered, and slow to anger. The choleric streak gives you a quiet stubbornness and the ability to act decisively when something truly matters. Compared with the choleric-led blend, you lead only when the situation calls for it, and you go back to a supporting role happily once things settle. Many people with this blend are the steady hand on a team: low on drama, high on follow-through. You may be easygoing about where to eat but immovable about a principle or a promise. Others might be surprised when your firm side appears, since it shows rarely. The challenge is that your easy surface can hide frustration until it comes out all at once. You may also resist change simply because you have decided not to budge. Saying what you want earlier, and explaining your reasons, helps people understand both the calm and the strength in you.
Strengths
- You remain calm and can step up decisively in a pinch.
- You are dependable and finish what you commit to.

- You are fair and steady when handling conflict.
Watch out for
- Quiet stubbornness can block good changes.
- Frustration may build silently and then come out suddenly.
- Others may not realize how strongly you feel about something.
Tip
When something bothers you, name it while it is still small, even if it feels like a minor point.
