I think they should have a Barbie with a buzz cut.
If you don't know what the four temperments are, here are the definitions:
__

Sanguine: The sanguine temperament is fundamentally impulsive and pleasure-seeking; sanguine people are sociable and emotional. They tend to enjoy social gatherings, making new friends and tend to be boisterous. They are usually quite creative and often daydream. However, some alone time is crucial for those of this temperament. Sanguine can also mean sensitive, compassionate and thoughtful. Sanguine personalities generally struggle with following tasks all the way through, are chronically late, and tend to be forgetful and sometimes a little sarcastic. Often, when they pursue a new hobby, they lose interest as soon as it ceases to be engaging or fun. They are very much people persons. They are talkative and not shy.

Choleric: The choleric temperament is fundamentally ambitious and leader-like. They have a lot of aggression, energy, and/or passion, and try to instill it in others. They can dominate people of other temperaments, especially phlegmatic types. Many great charismatic military and political figures were choleric. They like to be in charge of everything.

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.

Phlegmatic: The phlegmatic temperament is fundamentally relaxed and quiet, ranging from warmly attentive to lazily sluggish. Phlegmatics tend to be content with themselves and are kind. They are accepting and affectionate. They may be receptive and shy and often prefer stability to uncertainty and change. They are consistent, relaxed, calm, rational, curious, and observant, qualities that make them good administrators. They can also be passive-aggressive.

Personally, (I think) I am probably a mix between the phlegmatic and melancholic temperments.

I am Sanguine to the hilt, although *perhaps* a little Choleric if you catch me in my bossy leader mood.
 
I'm mostly Sanguine, except:
>Enjoy social gatherings
>Compassionate- LOL NO
>Not Shy/Talkative- Those would be completely untrue except DAMN YOU ADHD WHY CAN'T I BE A QUIET PERSON????????

Otherwise I'm Phlegmatic
 
I have at least a few traits from all of them, most notably Melancholic. So I'll just pick that one because I'm a freaking awesome perfectionist.

hahaha this is my entire life

and the other stuff too, I guess.
 
Up until last year I would have said melancholic with no room to argue. I'd still say I'm fundamentally melancholic - with the exception that I'm no longer a complete introvert; nowadays I'm ridiculously social and have a lot of friends and a boyfriend so. Mix between melancholic and sanguine I suppose?
