What is Your Greek Archetype?

The ancient Greeks believed that humans have four main personality types: optimistic, impatient, calm and analytical. According to them, these personality types have a great influence on who we are, how we act, and how we make our decisions. The Greek physician Hippocrates believed that these four types of personality were created out of excess or lack of four different types of body fluids: yellow bile, black bile, phlegm, and blood. Whether this is an established theory or not, the quiz before you was built upon it, and we invite you to answer the following questions to find out which personality type describes you best!
