Organizing personality workshops (Part 2)

Any updates on this situation?

Do you happen to have any old tapes or transcripts from that course available for anyone who can't make the trip out to Detroit? If we can work out a fair price, I’m definitely interested—especially if it helps someone out along the way.
Any idea how long the course runs, maybe in minutes per tape?
Good luck!

it's quite typical for Capricorns to be skeptics about horoscopes. 😁

I don't know, I've always found psychology interesting, though I haven't delved too deeply into it, unfortunately. Still, I have kind of embraced astrology. Especially once I learned it dates back over 6,000 years to the Sumerian people, whose origins and vast knowledge remain such a mystery to us... 😉

But there is a certain logic to the system, I suppose, with the four temperaments and the four natural elements...

Small tangent here. Astrology hasn't been around for 6,000 years; you're exaggerating a bit.🙂The earliest historical records showing people actually believing in astrology trace back to ancient Babylon. It occupied people's minds until the Enlightenment, but after the 17th century, it basically fades out.
It's just a way to pull the wool over people's eyes—anthropological tropes used as a tool for control. It's one way for a group to manipulate people by planting the idea of "fate" and how the stars are currently aligned in our favor. Personally, I think everyone is the architect of their own destiny... we don't really need advice from those crazy psychics and Milans, etc. (Respect to Milan, though—he's operating on a completely different level of astrology)😛
Anyway, I have to agree with Krešimir—different strokes for different folks. Great idea, thumbs up, and I hope it works out.
Sorry for the off-topic rant. It was just bothering me...👍

Nicholas James2 said:There’s an old saying: "there are as many opinions as there are people." But honestly? All those different personalities usually boil down to just four basic temperaments and how they mix, something Hippocrates figured out way back in 400 BC.

Look, categorizing people isn't about labeling them or being judgmental. There aren't any "good" or "bad" temperaments here—no one type is better than the rest. This isn't about putting people in boxes or judging them before you even meet them. It's actually the opposite. If you understand your own makeup, you'll get why people act the way they do, which makes it way easier to navigate life and get what you want.

Realistically, nobody is just one single thing. We're all a cocktail of all four. Most of us have one dominant temperament, a secondary one that shows up often, and then a little bit of the other two sprinkled in.

Thought this might be an interesting topic for you guys. Here’s a quick breakdown of some traits for each type. See if any of these hit home.

Extroverted Temperaments

lively, cheerful, fun, spontaneous, inspiring, likable – the popular sanguine

adventurous, intense, confident, bold, decisive – the powerful choleric

Introverted Temperaments

analytical, educated, sensitive, persistent, thoughtful, self-sacrificing – the perfect melancholic

adaptable, easygoing, diplomatic, patient, content, reserved – the calm phlegmatic

Look, please don't take this the wrong way, but I really feel like these kinds of "personality courses" should only be taught by actual licensed psychologists rather than someone who just skimmed through a couple of questionable books. I'm pretty sure there are much better ways to make a buck, because honestly, these types of books always remind me of those sketchy multi-level marketing schemes...🙄
