Everybody seems to be enamored with social media and what it offers - connections.
It is this same offering of connections that I feel will interest you into knowing more about yourself and the people that you meet in social media sites.
I recently took an online quiz about the four temperaments - choleric, sanguine, melancholic, and phlegmatic - as I was just curious to know what my temperaments are. I've been intrigued by a teacher friend of mine who uses this gauge to identify what kind of students he has and how he could make his classes more exciting as well as how he could find the best methods in disciplining a child in accordance with his temperaments! And he has around 30 students!
In my musings, I realized that we could more or less identify the people we are connecting with, either through social media sites or face-to-face, through their exhibitions of the different personality traits according to temperament.
The word "temperament" itself comes from Latin word "temperare," which means "to mix."
