A Teen For God 5 Human Temperaments Explained Teenically

Ever wondered why some people are taciturn while others are loquacious; why some people don't allow any form of bulls.h.i.t while others actually eat bulls.h.i.t; why people are different in their ways of reacting to a slap? These are all attributed to what's called TEMPERAMENT: a person's nature which is shown in the way he/she behaves or reacts to situations or people. Tim LaHaye is one of the most respected published authorities on this aspect. He has written a book Why you act the way you do that covers this. His wife, Beverly, also has a work that is particularly feminine temperament based, The Spirit-controlled Woman. Now, this is our own version – our temperament teenically explained.

Let's ride down the temperament lane which has four interesting road-blocks viz: Sanguine, Phlegmatic, Choleric, Melancholy.

SANGUINE

The sanguine male teen is friendly, enjoyable and talkative. He is emotional but you can never miss out a laugh with him. He is optimistic but has difficulty keeping resolutions. He starts off projects but isn't good at keeping them till the end. A sanguine male teen keeps on talking about himself in a way to show that he is better and more important than anyone else: he is egotistical.

The sanguine female teen is that compa.s.sionate girl. She lives in the present and is as friendly as her male counterpart. She talks so much you'd rather a parrot but she is at the same time funny and cool to be around. She's quite outgoing but undisciplined; easily discouraged and impractical. Sticking to appointments is not something she reckons with. As far as she's got her friends and livelihood, she's happy!

PHLEGMATIC

The phlegmatic male teen is very serene. He is cool. All the girls just love him because he is gentle to the core. He isn't aggressive; in fact he's easy going. Although he is slow and lazy, he is dependable. He is orderly and works well under pressure. This guy is quite a pessimist. He could be selfish and stubborn in some cases. The phlegmatic male teen is an introvert.

The phlegmatic female teen is a quiet, peaceful girl. She is the type most bad guys like because of her innocence. She's somewhat naïve and goes along easily. She does things thoroughly, she's efficient. She has got witty dry humour but well she's orderly. She could be stingy at times. She takes a deep interest in things and events a lot and that's because she's critical.

CHOLERIC

The choleric male teen is that proud guy who seems to attract the girls. He may not be that fine but he has got the swag and that is all that matters. He is usually the captain of his ship, the boss of his crew. He is mostly hot-tempered and loud; he is an extrovert. Well, he commands respect wherever he goes even without talking. He is determined, principled and goal –oriented which makes him a leader.

The choleric female teen is that alpha girl, everyone knows. She is so arrogant and easily vexed. Although she is friendly with guys, the fact that the males are superior to the female doesn't just sit well with her. She is an outspoken person and a good talker although most times, she is sarcastic. The greatest flaw of the choleric female teen is that she doesn't like taking corrections. Her followers admire and love her because when she puts her mind to it, she makes a wonderful leader.

MELANCHOLY

The melancholic male teen is the pessimistic guy. He is an introvert and is unstable when it comes to making decisions. He does not really like to be the person in the spotlight, he loves being behind the scenes. He is a faithful friend and makes sacrifices so great you would be awed. He gets affected by things done to him, words spoken to him; this is all because he is very sensitive.

The melancholic female teen is an introvert. She likes to do things perfectly and would not settle for anything less. She thinks a lot about her own thoughts, feelings, actions etc. she never wants to make any mistake in life so she critically evaluates all her thoughts before they actually become actions. She harbours resentment and most of the time, she is moody. The friends she has have the heart to remain with her and keep up with all. She is a perfectionist and a good listener.

Most temperaments are inherited through genes. Each temperament is pa.s.sed on all together with its strengths and its weaknesses. Do not fret if you seem not to perfectly fit into one temperament, you could actually combine two, (doesn't mean you are weird). Whatever temperament you have, you could still be the teen for G.o.d you want to be, just build up your strengths and crush the weaknesses. Also add these facts.

T-4-G is that sane boy or girl. By sane, I mean reasonable and sensible and does not act to what he/she sees in the environment or watches from the television. T-4-G is a vessel of honour for G.o.d to use as His sanctuary, T-4-G's body is as pure as gold and equally bold to stand out, firm and go MAD (Make-Difference).

T-4-G loves the lord, obeys his word and is deeply rooted in it. He/she respects everyone, older, age mate, younger and is always ready to learn knowing that he/she is not omniscient. T-4-G has open arms to love everyone unconditionally because love is the greatest gift.

T-4-G is that teen who is disciplined, diligent, determined and hardworking not minding what the parents and siblings are. T-4-G is also that person that is humble yet has got self-esteem, integrity and knows how much he/she is worth.

AT-4-G acknowledges the fact that he/she is a traveller here on earth so would not do things like other teens who think the earth is their home. T-4-G listens to the right kind of music, dances the right type of dance and dresses rightly.

T-4-G is IN the world but is not OF the world.
