Four Temperaments, Astrology & Personality Testing

Martin and Deidre Bobgan’s Four Temperaments, Astrology & Personality Testing offers a penetrating critique of the human tendency to categorize, label, and define personality through mystical and psychological systems. In this insightful study, the authors explore how ancient doctrines of the four temperaments—melancholic, sanguine, choleric, and phlegmatic—evolved into modern personality typologies and astrological archetypes.

While drawing from classical philosophy, astrology, and psychology, the Bobgans expose the hidden assumptions that underlie each system, questioning whether such frameworks truly reflect the soul’s divine individuality or merely confine it. They weave history, theology, and spiritual discernment into a unified exploration of self-knowledge—contrasting human-made personality structures with the transcendent wholeness of spirit. Four Temperaments, Astrology & Personality Testing ultimately calls readers to look beyond labels and rediscover the sacred mystery of personhood.
