If you have spoken to a surgeon who knows anything in the last twenty years, you will have been told that a balance of the four humors is essential to good health.

[ In the mess of commentary beneath and around this, descriptions eventually appear: ]
Your personality tends to be choleric, dominated by yellow bile. Excessively choleric personalities are hardy, headstrong, and hot-headed, with a tendency to be blunt and overbearing. While your forthright manner and willingness to make difficult decisions may serve you well, be careful not to bully your friends and acquaintances.
An interesting note, however: sanguine personalities who prefer summers are often found to be much more reliable people, with gorgeous eyes and an overflow of musical talent.
