Types of Personalities/Temperaments:
Temperament theory has its roots in the ancient four humors theory. It may have origins in ancient Egypt or Mesopotamia but it was the Greek physician Hippocrates (460-370 BC) who systemized and developed it into a medical theory. He believed certain human moods, emotions and behaviors were caused by body fluids (called "humors"): blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm.
Each of the four types of humours corresponded to a different personality type are
Choleric Sanguine Melancholy Phlegmatic

10% by what we read. 20% by what we hear. 30% by what we see. 50% by what we see and hear. 70% by what we say as we talk. 90% by what we say as we do a things.
How to talk to people?
Remember that people are more interested in themselves than in you.
Stop using: I, me, mine and my Start using: you and your. Talk to people about themselves. Ask them question and ask for their opinion. Think FORM

How to listen to people
Look at the person talking. Pay attention to them and lean towards them whilst
listening. Do “Active listening”. Ask pertinent questions. Do not interrupt- even if you have something interesting to
say. Listen twice as much as you talk. Use the third ear. Listen unsaid(body language).
“Big people monopolize listening but small people monopolize talking”
How to influence people?
Find out their “hot button”. Do this by asking them questions. Then show them how they can get what they want by doing
what you want them to do. Give people choice between two yes questions.
“If you ask five times why, then there are every chances that he might speak the truth”
Hot Button
How to set people moods?
Greet them all with a genuine smile. and watch their reaction. Give “yes” and “no” option.
How to praise people?
Become good finder? Look for something and somebody to praise and then do it. Be generous with your praise. Do not flatter – It becomes obvious. Praise the act and not the person. State the what and the
why. Always praise the person so that it is heard by as many
persons as possible
How to criticize people?
Don’t do it? Do it in absolute privacy if necessary? Criticize the act – never the person. Criticize only once for a wrong. Ask for Co-operation. Spend 90% of time looking for a solution. Any fool can criticize and condemn. Never lose your temper. Sandwich effect.
