The Sanguine personality is often linked with dopamine, a chemical involved in motivation, curiosity, and reward. This may help explain why sanguine people are often described as intensely curious and creative.
Their curiosity often shows in a love of reading, learning, and collecting different kinds of knowledge.
Sanguine people usually have a lot of energy, so they may come across as restless, spontaneous, and always ready for something new.
The Luxurious Lifestyle
This personality type loves a luxurious lifestyle. Sanguine people often like to impress others with expensive clothes, designer accessories, and flashy cars.
If choleric people thrive on the process of making money, sanguine people know how to enjoy money, luxury, and comfort like nobody else.
They are often big spenders. If they can afford it, they travel a lot, stay in beautiful hotels, go on exciting safaris or luxury cruises, and get real pleasure from the life their money allows them to live.
They may become so absorbed in their rich, comfortable lifestyle that the world’s problems and crises barely touch them.
The Risk Takers
People with a sanguine personality are willing to take risks in pursuit of their many interests.
They quickly become bored if they are not absorbed in something intriguing.
Their constant craving for adventure and novelty is one of the main forces behind their actions, decisions, and choices.
Sanguine people adapt quickly and, in general, can play many roles.
Buoyant, lively, and optimistic, they can charm almost anyone they meet.
Their need for variety and luxury explains why they often prefer to live in big cities, where they can satisfy their desires much more easily.
The Boredom Busters!
Sanguine people are not very good at tolerating boredom. Routine jobs, repetitive experiences, and dull companions annoy and irritate them, so they usually try to avoid routine and monotony at all costs.
More than that, they often love interruptions because these small changes in direction make them feel energized.
These people are impulsive, and they often find it difficult to control their cravings. Because of this, they may also struggle with weight.
