Choleric
Outward, at full volume.
High extraversion and high reactivity: you're turned toward people and you answer the world fast and hard. This is the most visible corner of the plane — with you in the room nobody has to guess what's happening, because you show it. That's where your real strength comes from: you get things moving. Where others are still discussing, you've already started, and the energy isn't only yours — people around you get pulled in, including the ones who hadn't planned to be. Your anger, incidentally, is usually short: flare up, and twenty minutes later come back to the conversation as if nothing happened is a normal cycle for you. The trouble is that it isn't short for everyone else. What gets said at the peak outlives your time at the peak, and that gap is something you usually learn about in hindsight. The second weak spot is speed: the reaction outruns the judgement, and half of what you later regret happened in the first five seconds. The cheap fix isn't «self-control» in the general sense — it's delaying those five seconds specifically: not damping the force, just letting it reach the target.
