Sanguine

Now we come to the two extrovert temperaments. First up Sanguine. Motto: Let's do it the fun way! Satan's Lie: You must be noticed What friends say: Let's organize the sanguine Strengths: Weaknesses: Warm & lively Cries easily Charisma Emotionally unpredictable Talkative-never at a loss for words Restless, Spontaneous anger Carefree-lives for the moment exaggerates, appears phony Great storytellerC Lacks self-control Conversation has infectious quality Emotional decision-maker Unusual capacity for enjoyment Naive & childlike Makes friends easily Comes on too strong Responsible to people Dominates conversation Enjoyable, Optimistic Not attentive Friendly and smiling Seeks credit & approval Easy to apologize Weak-willed Tender & sympathetic Makes excuses for negligence Converses with genuine warmth Talks too often about self Shares other peoples joys & sorrows Distracts easily Makes a good first impression Forgetful Not bored Wastes time talking Gifted in caring for sick Leaves projects unfinished Easily engages in new plans or projects Easily intimidated Breeds enthusiasm Falls short of goals Sanguine is the super-extrovert and with an outgoing spirit and charisma, they can be called the "enjoyable" temperament. They are warm, lively, and certainly the life of the party. Very emotional; never far away from tears and usually unstable. The Holy Spirit can stabilize their emotions and calm their restless spirit. They can develop self-control and a disciplined life with God's help. Attention on self will have to be minimized to be a Spirit-filled sanguine. A Sanguine's greatest needs : to be more reliable and dependable; to develop a greater self-disciplined life; to replace ego with genuine humility. Sanguines have the unique ability to enjoy each moment as it comes. This causes many problems, because while enjoying the moments, they completely forget wht they promised in previous moments. The most fun-loving and outgoing temperament. They suffer a great deal though, because of their noisy mannerisms, self-indulgence, and weak will. Unfinished projects and disorganization should become a thing of the past as they mature in Christian life. The outgoing personality and the ability to talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime can be a great witness for the Lord as this strentgh is placed in His hands. The greates weakness is the tendency to keep talking whether or not they know what they are talking about ( Oh, the sanguines that come to my mind that do this). They need to realize the importance of having something of value to say. If they are going to speak God's Word, then they are going to have to develop the disciplin in to know God's Word.
