Cholerics are the greatest producer of all 4 temperaments. Very self-confident and have a very strong will. Their worst enemy is their violent anger problem. To reach their many goals, they probably offend and run over the feelings of others in their way. The greatest strength is their tremendous leadership ability. Others look tot hem as the decision-makers. They depend on Cholerics to tell them what's right and wrong, good or bad. They have unbelievable potential to influence people around them for the Lord. When Cholerics give control of their lives over to God, it is amazing what can be done through them. The greatest weakness is their tendency to be uncomfortable with outward expressions of emotion and their inability to communicate love and affirmation. This weakness, coupled with the fact that people continually look to them for validation and approval can result in their unintentional refusal to give people what they so desperatley need for them to give. Since Cholerics are so very practical and their emotions are undeveloped to a great extent, they tend to recognize only physical needs and fail to see that the emotional needs of others are genuine as well. When filled with the Holy Spirit, Cholerics will develop a compassionate, sympathetic heart, which will help them to become more thoughtful, less sarcastic and bossy, and more willing to listen to the ideas of others.
