You are a strong-willed, goal-oriented leader, with noble aspirations. Passionate and driven (choleric), you are also meticulous about your work and want things done the "right way" (melancholic). You can envision  a great plan of action and then carry it out to the last detail. If team members are not stepping up, you will step in and make things happen--according to your specifications. The tendency of the choleric to make hasty, often sweeping judgments will be tempered by the melancholic's careful analysis and reflection. The tendency of the melancholic to be moody, overly critical, and slow to act will be counter-balanced by the optimism and practicality of the choleric. Thus, the choleric-melancholic will be capable of decisive -- yet well-thought-out-- action and will be thoroughly productive.

If you are a choleric-melancholic, you will have a quick, analytical mind, possibly with a great attention to detail, with a strong sense of order and discipline. You will be more extraverted than a pure melancholic or a melancholic-choleric, and you are able to take on more projects and accomplish more things than a pure melancholic would. Furthermore, your pragmatism will receive the additional value of noble and high ideals, so you will likely be a very conscientious employee--or a very exacting boss! You will likely have a strong analytical mind, holding other people and institutions to high standards. Both the melancholic and choleric temperaments retain their impressions for a long time--so you will have the capacity to persevere in achieving your goals--as well as holding onto to a grudge and being unforgiving!

Driven, yet self-sacrificing and a lover of truth, the choleric-melancholic can accomplish great things. But this temperament combination should take care not to fall into pride and obstinacy, or cultivate anger and resentment.  They can be opinionated, critical, and judgmental. The quick intelligence of the choleric combined with the tendency to think they are always right, might make those with this temperament mixture autocratic, moody, arrogant, and anti-social. If you are in a leadership position, remember to thank others for their hard work, try not to roll over the slower ones, and take time out to relax and refresh. 

We imagine that St. Paul was choleric-melancholic: He was intense, focused, driven. He persecuted the early Church with as much zeal as he later preached the Gospel.
