Hippocratees named the temperaments in correspondence with the liquids he thot were the cause.
Each of the 4 he named has strength and weaknesses., there is one more that he did not have which is supine…… the 4 he did are: melancholy., sanguine, phlegmatic., choleric.,
The sanguine, he thot , is characterized by rich., warm blood.
Cholerics must have too much yellow bile.,
Melancholies he saw as having black or dark blood – black bile.
Phlegmatics he saw as having thick blood, which he called phlegm.
To him, these suggested the lively (sanguine), active (choleric), black (melancholy), and slow (phlegmatic ) temperaments.

With the advances of modern medical science the idea that temperament is determined by body liquid was discarded, but the 4 names r still widely used.

NOTE:  Any study that does not include supine (all FIVE) temperament is not going to be complete.

The Supine temperament is new to the list. The other four have been known about for 2400 years. However, as the National Christian Counselors Association was doing its 7 years of research with about 5,000 people, the evidence of the fifth temperament was found. It has been known that some people did not ‘fit’ into any of the four temperaments, but until the N.C.C.A.’s research, there wasn’t enough evidence for a fifth.

To define the Supine temperament in a couple of words, “the servant’s heart”. Thus the name ‘Supine’, which means “with the face upwards”; like a servant looking up to his/her master. This can clearly be seen in Jesus.

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45)
