Psychiatrist Hippocratic Temperament Test

What is the Hippocrates Temperament Test?

Hippocrates, who is called the "father of modern medicine," classified human temperaments into four categories around 400 BC: hot-tempered, choleric, phlegmatic, and melancholy. The description of these four temperaments is as follows:

The Hippocratic Temperament Test consists of choosing the word that you think best describes you from 20 questions divided into personality strengths and weaknesses. When two of the four most summed substrates are combined in order, the highest number is the main substrate, the next highest is the substrate, and the combination of these substrates and the substrate is divided into the following 12 substrates.

(1) Blood-biliary - Outstanding Leader

(2) Bloody mucus - a person who gives pleasure

(3) Bile hyperemia - innate charisma

(4) Biliary depression - delicate and excellent orator

(5) Depressive bile - a person who has thorough preparedness

(6) Depression mucus - an excellent specialist

(7) Myxomatosis - Sincere Patron

(8) Myxomatosis - A person who is comfortable in a relationship without the ups and downs of life

(9) Bile mucus - a born administrator

(10) Mucous bile - a person with great potential

(11) Blood-Filled - Delicate all-rounder

(12) Melancholymia - Really human type

Fitness of the Hippocrates Test 

Science needs to be proven and reproduced, but the Hippocratic Temperament Test was created solely from observation and experience from the Greek period.

Of course, Hippocrates' theory of the four temperaments has been tested in modern times, but it is a method that is rarely used in clinical practice or research. You can do the temperament test for fun, but it's not used in clinical practice, so don't be overconfident.

The usefulness of personality typology

As a result of the personality type test, you can get help in understanding yourself and others. You can think of typology as advice that takes advantage of the strengths of your personality and compensates for its shortcomings. If you need an accurate assessment of your psychological state, you should visit a psychiatrist and undergo specialized examinations, such as behavioral and symptom rating scale tests.
