Boy I know, [=GranChi=], I\'ve seen my fair share of theorists liken \'\'\'Mel\'\'\' to SJ (\'\'Guardian\'\'). Others have said that \'\'\'Mel\'\'\' = NF (\'\'Idealist\'\') and that either \'\'\'Chol\'\'\' or \'\'\'Phleg\'\'\' = \'\'Guardian\'\'. I\'ve seen most often by theorists \'\'Guardian\'\' equal everything but \'\'\'Sang\'\'\'. \'\'\'Chol\'\'\' and \'\'\'Phleg\'\'\', otherwise, have traded back-and-forth between Rational and Idealist. Whichever theorists made \'\'Rational\'\' and \'\'Idealist\'\' two \'\'\'Chol\'\'\'-and-\'\'\'Phleg\'\'\' opposites (for whatever reason) and matched \'\'\'Sang\'\'\' with \'\'Artisan\'\' (like everyone does), I\'ll bet \'\'\'Mel\'\'\' was made \'\'Guardian\'\' due only to the process of elimination. They cut and chewed a puzzle piece to \'\'\'make\'\'\' it fit where it couldn\'t, rather than adjust any of the others. (Possibly the same process to make \'\'\'Chol\'\'\' equal \'\'Idealist\'\'.) It seems you and I are the only two making any link between \'\'\'Mel\'\'\' and \'\'Rational\'\'.
I personally would have matched SP as \'\'Guardian\'\' and SJ as \'\'Artisan\'\', but that\'s off topic. How the remaker on someone else (a romantic partner) into one\'s own image, a highly \'\'\'melancholic\'\'\' detail, ended up in the link\'s description of \'\'Guardian\'\', I don\'t really know (sounds to me more like \'\'Rational\'\' or possibly \'\'Idealist\'\'). But I\'ll bet theorists used that detail to link \'\'\'Mel\'\'\' to \'\'Guardian\'\', just \'cuz all three other humors were already taken.
