* '''Choleric''' and '''Melancholic''' (the '''Rational'''): Ambiverted and task-centered. The temperament combo most calculative (ergo ''"Rational"'') and insistent on things being in line with the LawfulGood. Especially good in instructing with authority and preventing bad influences over or hindrances against the project at hand. On the flip side, quite prone to hypocrisy, [[ManipulativeBastard manipulation]], and a judgemental[=/=]HolierThanThou demeanor. Can [[DontYouDarePityMe suspect and/or resent sympathy]] from anyone else. Often can be TheSmartGuy in terms of common sense and craftiness; also can be InsufferableGenius. The temperament combo most susceptible to being a GrumpyBear, {{Tsundere}}, RulesLawyer, or a KnightTemplar. A villainous extreme would be such things as StrawHypocrite and TheCaligula. Most {{mood swinger}}s are associated with this temperament combo.

* '''Sanguine''' and '''Choleric''' (Artisan): Extroverted and dually-centered. On the positive side, the most brave, passionate, energetic, and tactical (ergo ''"Artisan"'') of the temperament combos. But on the negative side, the most impulsive and least sensitive toward others, can be the most violent, and can [[DramaQueen cause the most drama to happen]]. Usually fitting in this blend are the typical [[TheRealMan Real Man]] (especially as TheMunchkin), a [[TheStoic stoic]] and/or [[GenkiGirl genki]] BloodKnight, and an overlap of TerrorHero and WarriorTherapist.

* '''Melancholic''' and '''Phlegmatic''' (Idealist): Introverted and dually-centered. The most sensitive, deep-feeling, mannerly temperament combo and, as ''"Idealist"'' suggests, the most focused on the abstract and character ideals. On the negative side, it is the most shy, timid, neurotic, and prone to harbor ''hurt feelings''. Has some particular expectations of others, but in most common cases [[ShrinkingViolet too timid to express them]]. Often TheSmartGuy. Can range from [[HollywoodNerd bookish]] NiceGuy to {{Kuudere}}[=/=]SugarAndIcePersonality.

* '''Phlegmatic''' and '''Sanguine''' (Guardian): Ambiverted and people-centered. The temperament combo that thrives most on relationships with other people and, as ''"Guardian"'' suggests, is the most emotionally strong for other people. Usually the most easygoing, least judgemental, and perhaps also the most supportive and helpful at preventing a team or family from falling apart. On the flip side, often overly tolerant and/or permissive; often sluggish about any task that requires spending a bunch of mental energy. Often evaluates other people in a ''very'' optimistic light, an overlap of ThePollyanna and the WideEyedIdealist (distinct from the above "Idealist"). Usually the diametric ''opposite'' of an InsufferableGenius. Taken to an extreme, can be a CloudCuckoolander.

A temporary imbalance would create an illness - too much blood caused a fever, too much yellow bile caused a cough, too much black bile caused depression, and too much phlegm caused a cold. A permanent imbalance led to a person having a certain personality type. Though this theory has long since been discredited from a scientific standpoint, the general idea still remains and the theory is still used for personality profiling. An ensemble based on these four humors can make the cast diverse without actually changing the roles of the characters in the story.

* '''Choleric (yellow bile):''' Extroverted and task-centered. Mainly seeks success and completion of tasks, and likes to be in charge of successful projects. Exhibits leadership, dominance, [[{{Determinator}} ambition]], charisma, [[HotBlooded very]] [[TheMcCoy passionate]]. But also [[MoodSwinger easily angered or upset]] and shows arrogance, narrow-mindedness, obsession, and a HairTriggerTemper -- but known [[TheStoic not for any kinds of emotion]] otherwise. Rather than forgive, tendency to snap and move on while snobbishly outcasting; tendency to blame others. Likes to be independent and have control over others; could be a BadBoss if in charge. The most likely to be things such as TheLeader, GlassCannon, TheNeidermeyer, AntiHero, or TheLancer. If TheSmartGuy, it's by being crafty and cunning. If female, will be a fierce LadyOfWar or a {{Tsundere}}. Usually susceptible to DramaQueen and TheBully in some cases.

* '''Phlegmatic (phlegm):''' Introverted and people-centered. The dreams and passions of this temperament are mainly the spread of kindness, forgiveness, and restoration of harmony. Generally calm, rational, quiet, and reliable; but also [[ExtremeDoormat docile]] and [[ShrinkingViolet timid]], lazy, and frequently [[TheStoic hides all emotions]] (other than sympathy). Tends to be dependent on others, either by choice or because of insecurity. This temperament is a people person but sometimes [[CannotSpitItOut expresses these traits in an awkward fashion]]. Tendency to perhaps brood temporary, but then "forgive and forget"; tendency to blame self. Can often be BrilliantButLazy, WeakButSkilled, or TheHeart, a more relaxed version of TheSmartGuy and, if female, may be an EmotionlessGirl, YamatoNadeshiko, or more submissive ProperLady.

Sometimes a FiveManBand will also be a Four (or often Five) Temperament Ensemble, but in many cases, they're mutually exclusive. There is also some overlap with PowerTrio scenarios: TheKirk is choleric, TheMcCoy is sanguine, and TheSpock is phlegmatic.
