Summary: I wanted to write on the different types of self-inserts reaction to dealing with a yandere. I did in MBTI form since that’s always fun. Though, I guess this is more like the 4 Temperament.
Questions to ask:
Internal feelings: Resistant vs Compliant
Are you motivated to try escaping the situation?
External temperament: Bold vs Calm
How do you react to your yandere?
Are you outspoken or quiet about your problems with the yandere’s behavior?
The Four Main Types
Bold-Resistant: Feisty
A scrapper, always fighting your Yandere. Goes out your way to annoy them and to fight your way out of their clutches. In fandoms where combat is common (be it fantasy, sci-fi, superhero, action thriller, etc), this darling would be one of the combatants. However, your yandere is typically stronger than you are.
Calm-Resistant: Strategist
This one fights but in a different way. You try to use your intellect to get you out of situations and try to be one step ahead of your yandere. Because you’re calm, you can manipulate your yandere into a false sense of security. This is the most likely of darlings to successfully escape, or escape the longest. Hopefully, your Yandere finds your antics amusing.
Bold-Compliant: Seductive
Manipulative, but only to mitigate the awfulness of the situation. You have given up escaping but you can still use your yandere to your advantage. Examples of manipulating the Yandere: negotiating more freedoms, protect your loved ones, killing your enemies, be used to achieve your dreams. You work best with delusional yanderes.
Calm-Compliant: Submissive
Whether you’re willing, have Stockholm syndrome, or lost hope, you give in. There’s no trick going on with you. You have accepted your place as a darling. Nearly all yanderes see you as the ideal darling, because you do everything a yandere tells you to do. The other types can become submissive (and eventually, they do).
Does anyone else think it’s fun to take personality tests and inventories as their MC? Here’s a bunch of them. Please note that some are not the official version, but they should be free and accessible. I wager they’re accurate enough. Also, some tests may take a while, but don’t take it too seriously!
And yes, I am a psychology major…

Did that trend on TikTok where you describe yourself in images!!!!! I don’t know what to tag this I just thought it was cute so I guess I’ll tag it by letting you guys guess my typology based on this😅 btw last image is “me as a food” and it is an attempt at a Spamton gingerbread cookie I made at my college’s dining hall with @ninetimesbluedemo and @swallow-wind For hobby I did volunteering so it’s a picture of Tapioca and Pompom from the day I met them when I was volunteering at the shelter!!!
(A/N: Not a request. Yet another brainchild of mine. Also this is not a definitive classification as some of the aspects can overlap with two or more of the temperaments; eg. Blood can be somewhere between Melancholic and Phlegmatic.)
Sanguine (optimistic and idealistic): Breath, Life, Hope
Phlegmatic (peaceful and reserved): Void, Blood, Space
Choleric (pragmatic and confrontational): Rage, Heart, Time
Melancholic (pessimistic and meticulous): Doom, Light, Mind
I'm apparently melancholic on the four temperaments.
"Your temperament is melancholic. The melancholic temperament is fundamentally introverted and thoughtful. Melancholic people often were perceived as very (or overly) pondering and considerate, getting rather worried when they could not be on time for events. Melancholics can be highly creative in activities such as poetry and art - and can become preoccupied with the tragedy and cruelty in the world. Often they are perfectionists. They are self-reliant and independent; one negative part of being a melancholic is that they can get so involved in what they are doing they forget to think of others."
my scores
Choleric 7
Melancholic 14
Sanguine 9
Phlegmatic 11
(Sorry to the poster who inspired me. I've lost your post... which is so on brand it's a little sad, honestly.)
Hey Tumblr peeps! 🌈✨ Today, let's take a whimsical dive into the ancient world of personality theories. I'm talking about the Four Temperaments, an idea that dates back to the days of Galen, a Greek physician. It’s like astrology but vintage and medical. So, grab your time machine (or just your imagination) and let’s go back to ancient times! 🚀🏛️
First off, Galen was this super smart dude in ancient Greece who believed that our personalities were influenced by bodily fluids (stay with me, it’s less gross than it sounds). He proposed four main temperaments: Sanguine, Choleric, Melancholic, and Phlegmatic. Sounds like a wizarding school from Harry Potter, right? 🧙♂️✨
Sanguine (The Social Butterfly): Think of your friend who’s always the life of the party. Sanguine peeps are super sociable, charismatic, and love adventures. They’re like human sparklers – bright, bubbly, and always up for fun. If Sanguine was a meme, it would be a cat chasing a laser pointer – endlessly energetic and playful. 😸🎉
Choleric (The Born Leader): Here come the bosses! Choleric individuals are all about ambition and getting things done. They’re natural leaders, super confident, and maybe a bit stubborn. Think of a superhero who’s always saving the day, but maybe doesn’t really listen to their sidekick’s advice. 🦸♂️🌪️
Melancholic (The Thoughtful Dreamer): Deep, thoughtful, and a bit of a perfectionist, Melancholic people are the ones lost in their journals or painting in a cozy corner. They’re sensitive, artistic, and maybe a little moody. Imagine a rainy day with a cup of tea and a good book – that’s total Melancholic vibes. 🌧️📚
Phlegmatic (The Chill Peacemaker): Chill, calm, and totally collected. Phlegmatic individuals are the peacekeepers, the ones who keep cool in a crisis. They’re reliable and kind, like a rock in a stormy sea. If Phlegmatic were an animal, they’d definitely be a chill cat napping in the sun. 😌🌞
Now, let’s be real, we’re all a mix of these temperaments depending on the day (or the hour). But it’s fun to think about which one you might lean towards. Are you the party-starter Sanguine, bossy Choleric, dreamy Melancholic, or chill Phlegmatic? Or a little bit of everything?
Remember, this is ancient stuff – we’ve come a long way in understanding personality since Galen’s time. But it’s still cool to explore these old ideas and see how people way back then tried to make sense of the human psyche. 🧠🌟
So, which temperament do you vibe with? Or are you a unique blend of ancient personality magic? Share your thoughts and let’s chat about it! 💬✨
