The Temperament Self-Test is a multiple-choice test that will help you determine your constitutional temperament. Once you know your predominant temperament, you'll be able to discover how you're likely to manifest stress-related symptoms and gain access to all-natural energy-balancing suggestions that work best for your unique personality. Take the test whenever you feel a shift in your energy to help you return to a state of peace and flow.
For each statement, choose the answer that feels most like you over the past couple of weeks. Keep track of your answers (A, B, C, or D). Don’t overthink it. Go with your first natural response.

A Tip for Balancing Your Humors
You may find you are a fairly balanced mix. If your mix is balanced, do nothing. It means your energy is calm and balanced. However, if you have a letter that received a lower score than the rest, it indicates that the humor associated with that temperament is out of balance. By raising it by just one or two points, the other humors automatically fall into balance. The opposite is also true. If you have one or two high scores, you can improve lower scores by backing away from tendencies associated with them. I provide examples below.
Low Score Example
One particular day, my scores were A-5, B-2, C-4, and D-4. My B score was low. B represents the Choleric Temperament, the humor Yellow Bile, and the Violet and Indigo Taroscendence Personalities. To raise that score, I clicked on Choleric Temperament and the Violet and Indigo Taroscendence Personalities, to discover suggestions for improving that humor and bringing myself back into balance. From the Choleric page, I chose to do something creative, eat more vegetables, and pocket a fluorite stone. From the Violet and Indigo pages, I decided it would be a good time to study up on a subject that fascinated me, focus on achieving a goal I had set on a back burner, and fill my home with the faint scent of cedarwood.
High Score Example
Let's say you have a really high "C "score and your other scores are low. It means your system is working primarily from your Melancholic temperament, the humor Black Bile. Click the Melancholic and the Red Taroscendence Personality links above to learn why this might be the case. Maybe you've been in perfectionist mode, too driven, or too argumentative lately. Backing away from being overly Melancholic will naturally help to balance your other humors.
