To effectively connect with individuals of different temperaments, it's important to understand their preferences and communication styles. For sanguine individuals, focus on building rapport and being enthusiastic. With melancholic individuals, show empathy and provide a listening ear. Phlegmatic individuals appreciate a calm and harmonious environment, while choleric individuals respond well to direct communication and clear goals. Flexibility and adaptability in your approach can help create a strong connection with each temperament.

A nervous temperament refers to a personality type characterized by sensitivity, excitability, and a tendency to feel anxious or easily stressed. Individuals with a nervous temperament may be easily overwhelmed by stimuli or situations, and may have a heightened awareness of their surroundings.
There are two main types of traits: physical traits and behavioral traits. Physical traits refer to observable characteristics such as hair color or height, while behavioral traits encompass aspects like temperament or social behavior. Both types of traits are influenced by a combination of genetics and environmental factors.
The four humours in ancient medicine are blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile. It was believed that an individual's personality was influenced by the balance of these humours in their body. For example, an excess of blood was associated with a sanguine personality (cheerful and optimistic), while an excess of black bile was linked to a melancholic personality (pessimistic and irritable).
Tybalt's dominant humor is choleric. He is known for his quick temper, aggression, and desire for revenge.

'Melancholic' comes from an ancient division of personalities based on the theory of 'humours'. A person who had a preponderance of ""black bile" was melancholic, or had a melancholic personality. The other humours were choleric, phlegmatic, and sanguine. This was the state of psychology during the time of Hippocrates.
Saint Hildegard's scientific views were derived from the ancient Greek cosmology of the four elements (fire, air, water, and earth) and their qualities of heat, dryness, moisture, and cold, as well as the corresponding four humours in the body - choler (yellow bile), blood, phlegm, and melancholy (black bile). She proffered that the human constitution was based on a preponderance of one or two of the humours, which are words still used to describe personalities: melancholy, sanguine, choleric and phlegmatic.
Did you mean "be" opposites, not are? If so, yes they can be, although there are some better choices, imo.
Classical medical theory said that our temperament and physical appearance was governed by our bodily fluids or humours, in particular the fluids blood, phlegm, black bile and yellow bile. A person dominated by blood was said to be sanguine, a person dominated by phlegm was said to be phelgmatic, black bile made you melancholic and yellow bile made you choleric. Medical theory of that time said that if you were too sanguine, blood should be taken out of your system as a cure. The ancients associated particular personalities with the four humours: sanguine people were passionate but happy; choleric people were hot-tempered and quarrelsome; phlegmatic people were calm and content; melancholic people were depressed and miserable. See the related link. This theory naturally suggested character types for plays; playwrights made use of them to create their characters. Indeed a play of Ben Jonson's is called Every Man in His Humour (Shakespeare acted in this play). Shakespeare has Hamelt say to the players "the humourous man shall end his part in peace". A "humourous man" is a character dominated by one of the humours, such as Jaques in As You Like It, who was melancholic.

In Shakespeare's day, the word "humour" did not mean comedy; it was a reference to a medical theory which stated that people's health depended on the balance of four liquids found in the body. These liquids were blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile, and are based on liquids which actually are present in the body. It was felt that these liquids affected your personality and character. A person dominated by blood was sanguine, by phlegm was phlegmatic, by yellow bile was choleric, and by black bile was melancholy. We still use these words nowadays to describe types of characters. In Elizabethan drama, a humourous man was a person whose character was distinctive and which dominated his action. Ben Jonson's play Every Man in His Humour (in which Shakespeare acted) was entirely built around such stock characters. Shakespeare used them too: Jaques in As You Like It is melancholic as is Hamlet ("Out of my weakness and my melancholy" II, ii), and Hotspur (Henry IV Part One) is sanguine.
I believe you may be referring to the doctrine of humors, propounded by Galen the physician. It holds that illness can be understood as an unbalance of four bodily fluids (one of which, black bile, doesn't actually exist). In casual use, though, we still refer to certain types of personality by Galen's terms. Cheerful and outgoing people are "sanguine" (they have a lot of blood); careful and somewhat cold folks are "phlegmatic"; the easily excited are "choleric" and the gloomy ones are "melancholic."
Comedy of humours was a popular form of English Renaissance theatre that focused on characters driven by exaggerated personality traits or humours: melancholic, sanguine, choleric, and phlegmatic. Playwrights like Ben Jonson used these characters to satirize societal flaws and behavior, creating comedic situations rooted in these distinct personalities.
