modern parlance, it fits better with “cold and dry” than with simply
“cold.” However, a “cold” type is basically lethargic, or slow to react.
Here we have an interesting apparent contradiction: your emotions run
deep, but that doesn’t mean you’re talking about them all the time!
The quiet quality of “cold” may mislead others about what you’re feel-
ing. The “problem” with “cold” is that it makes it hard for you to forget
slights. Because you don’t tend to lash out immediately, it’s hard for you
not to allow your anger to build up. (Courtesy of J. Lee Lehman, Ph.D.,
