Hello Hal: Thanks so much for sending me the e-book. I appreciate ... http://introvert.cc/?p=52 I get a lot of people wondering if their temperament type is "BAD".  Temperament is not BAD nor GOOD; it is what it is - your underlying tendency to be one way or another. I got this question as a comment:  i really want to know if it is ... http://introvert.cc/?p=51 Here's a letter: Hi Hal, I read about what u say about the personality types and I would like to know if a choleric/melancholy is compatible with a choleric/melancholy - the same personality.
