Sanguine temperament traits

Introduction
Based on a self analysis test (temperament analysis profile), one could be assessed as sanguine in inclusion, control or affection; sanguine in any combination of these areas; or in all of them. A person who is sanguine in all areas is called a Pure Sanguine.

In addition, one could be assessed as possessing a combination of temperaments in any of these areas (inclusion, control and/or affection). This is because each area has an expressed and actual desire. Therefore one could be sanguine / phlegmatic in affection. This means
that one expresses as a sanguine but has an actual desire of a phlegmatic in the area of affection. 

The following traits are common in persons who are sanguine in inclusion, control and affection;
