Phlegmatic Melancholy – a quick profile
A co-worker of mine is a Phlegmatic Melancholy ; I find him interesting so here’s a quick profile.
This person is very easy going, typical of a Phlegmatic. He’s quiet but not overly so and enjoys the office relationships. But he’s also in charge of the financial part of the business and here his Melancholy “shines”. He is very detailed when it comes to business dealings and has everything documented — you could say he crosses his T’s and dots his I’s very carefully.
The temperament combination shows in his reaction to problems or questions regarding technical issues. They typically go along this line: ”With (X) situation you SHOULD do the following (A, B, C) but it’s up to you; whatever you want to do.” This makes me laugh because his Melancholy is clear on what HE thinks should be done but his Phlegmatic always gets in a last word.
So you can spot a Phlegmatic Melancholy by statements like “You SHOULD do such and such but it’s up to you, I don’t care.”

hahaha..being a phlegmatic-melancholy myself, I definitely agree with the statement “With (X) situation you SHOULD do the following (A, B, C) but it’s up to you; whatever you want to do.”
