I am a Supine, my daughter is a Sanguine. So, how will this effect our relationship? I am told by my counselor that a sanguine may go through periods where they don't want any contact, and she's a tween! Lord, please help us both!
I tried doing research on the conflicts of a supine mother vs. a sanguine daughter, but there is no information out there. If I wanted information on a Virgo mother vs. a Virgo daughter, there is no end to the information I would find. I know, I looked it up years ago, when my oldest was born.
So, what is Temperament?
Temperament is the inborn part of person that determines how he/she reacts to their environment. When we are conceived our unique temperament is placed within us by God. Some believe that it has is genetically and environmentally influenced.
While we are man/environment-affected. This is called our character. Our perceptions of our environment molds and altars our temperament thereby forming character.
Something that I never would have thought of is that we are "self-selected" meaning that we perceive how we must behave to survive. This is called our personality.
Understanding a person's temperament gives you knowledge of their inner workings. It helps to identify the pressures or feelings they are dealing with and where they are coming from.
All temperaments come from God, but each has strengths and weaknesses.
The Five Temperament Types are as the melancholy, the sanguine, the choleric, the phlegmatic, and the supine.
Whatever your temperament is, it is affected by your environment, past and present. We are all individuals, even with our temperaments.
For instance, you can have three children in the same abusive family. But, because of different temperaments, each of those three children will react differently. One child will grow up and be completely opposite of what they endured as a child and will make wonderful parents in spite of the role models that they had for parents. (This was my goal.)
Another child from the same family will be totally destroyed by the abuse and never recover from it. If they are Supine they will most likely marry someone just like the abusive parent. (The scary thing is that I am a supine.)
The third child in the family may be choleric and therefore grow up to be abusive and a carbon copy of the abusive parent and abuse their own children.
So, understanding your temperament may help you to understand why you have reacted to things in your past the way that you have.
