She scored 22 for choleric, 11 for melancholy and 2 each for phlegmatic and sanguine. My dad had refused to take it, jokingly saying he didn't want to reveal his personality, but was helping me explain some of the words in Chinese to my mum, cause I was at lost at words, when trying to explain all those characteristics in Chinese.
I later did the test for my dad, from my own judgement of what I think he is, and he appears to be a Perfect Melancholy, scoring 22 for melancholy, 9 phlegmatic, 8 choleric and 1 sanguine.
What a family to live in, two Perfect Melancholies and one Powerful Choleric, and all want to do things their own way, and we all take things so seriously. No Popular Sanguine to lighten up or Peaceful Phlegmatic to calm things.
In the process of doing the test for both my parents, I found that it's kind of hard to see what they really are, for example my mum, who is so different outside the house. In the end we decided to fill in according to what my mum used to be outside when she's working or when she's with my maternal side of the family. Same problem with my dad, I tried to fill in according to what I know about him inside and outside the house, quite contradicting at times, and I usually took who he is outside the house.
I need my dad's input... right now I don't know what to do with these kind of scores, I haven't read about Powerful Cholerics and Peaceful Phlegmatics yet, and I can forget about Popular Sanguine at the moment, the total score for Popular Sanguine, for three of us, is less than 10 out of 120.

Turtle
"Imagine that the whole earth was covered with water, and a man was to throw a yoke with a hole in it into the water. Blown by the wind, that yoke would drift north, south, east and west. Now, suppose that once in hundred years a blind turtle would rise to the surface. What do you think? Would that turtle put his head through the hole in the yoke as he rose to the surface once in a hundred years?"
"It is unlikely Lord."
"Well, it is just as unlikely that one will be born as a human being; it is just unlikely that a Tathagata, a Noble One, a fully enlightened Buddha should arise in the world; and it is just as unlikely that the Dhamma and discipline of the Tathagata should be taught. But now you have been born as a human being, a Tathagata has arisen and the Dhamma has been taught. Therefore, strive to realize the Four Noble Truths."

Excellent blog! I genuinely love how it' s tranquil on my eyes and also the details are amply written. I am wondering how I could be notified whenever a modern despatch has been made. I must subscribed to your rss feed which should do the trait! Have a polite era!
