Weaknesses of a Choleric Husband



  1. His emotional nature is the least developed part of his temperament.

  2. He does not sympathize easily with others and does not naturally show or express compassion.

  3. He is often embarrassed or disgusted by the tears of others and is usually insensitive
    to their needs.

  4. He reflects little appreciation for music or the fine arts unless his secondary temperament traits are
    those of a melancholic.

  5. His most serious weakness is anger.

  6. Cholerics are extremely hostile people.

  7. They use their wrath as a weapon to get what they want because they come to realize
    that other people are usually afraid of their strong outbursts.

  8. He may willfully cause pain to others and enjoy it.

  9. His wife is usually afraid of him and he tends to terrify his children.

  10. He is a door-slammer, table-pounder and horn-blower. Any person who gets in his
    way, retards his progress or fails to perform up to the level of his expectations bears
    the brunt of his wrath.

  11. Cholerics tend to carry a grudge for a long time.

  12. He often falls prey to ulcers by the time he is 40 years.

  13. Cholerics are sarcastic and can make scathing remarks which can wither the insecure
    or devastate the less combative.

  14. He usually leaves a path of damaged psyches and fractured egos because the other
    temperament types wilt under his treatment of them.
