I have chosen my spouse, Jules as my helper. We do non cognize each other really good since we have been traveling out merely for a month, so it was interesting for me to compare how he sees me and how I see myself, and how I see him and how he sees himself.
The Result of Questionnaire for Jules
Mark for Jules Score for Nami Total Score
A Choleric & # 8211 ; 4 point A Choleric & # 8211 ; 2 point A Choleric & # 8211 ; 6 point
B Melancholic & # 8211 ; 2 point B Melancholic & # 8211 ; 4 point B Melancholic & # 8211 ; 6 point
C Phlegmatic & # 8211 ; 2 point C Phlegmatic & # 8211 ; 2 point C Phlegmatic & # 8211 ; 4 point
D Sanguine & # 8211 ; 5 point D Sanguine & # 8211 ; 5 point D Sanguine & # 8211 ; 10 point
Although there was a small difference in the questionnaire that I filled out for Jules, and the 1 that Jules filled out for himself, they both show that his disposition is Sanguine, the Air. In the questionnaire that Jules filled out for himself, there is merely one point difference between the Sanguine and the Choleric. He sees himself as the Sanguine but he besides possesses the Choleric disposition. Which was non what I expected him to be, before carry oning this trial. What I expected his disposition to be was the Melancholic, the Earth. The ground why I thought his disposition would be the Melancholic was that, to me, he seems thoughtful, serious, purposeful and sensitive. He sometimes imagines the things to worry over. He is besides orderly and tidy. The factors made me believe that he was the Melancholic type. The questionnaire that I filled out for him shows that I see him as the Sanguine but besides the Melancholic. Harmonizing to the questionnaire that I filled out for him, there is merely one point difference between the Sanguine and the Melancholic. However looking at his occupation that he had before and the things he likes to make are more Sanguine than Melancholic type. He used to be a web interior decorator and that is still what he wants to make. He loves party and music, though, since he moved up to Gold Coast from Melbourne, he has non gone out much, and he does non look happy with the environment. That is likely what makes him look more Melancholic.
Although, there was merely one point difference between the Sanguine and Choleric in the questionnaire that Jules filled out for himself, and one point difference between the Sanguine and Melancholic in the questionnaire I filled out for him, the Sanguine has the highest point in both sets, so it gives me the decision that his dominant disposition is the Sanguine, the Air. The alteration of his environment and the defeat that he feels for his present state of affairs could be impacting and unbalancing his dominant disposition. Nevertheless the negative fondness by environmental alteration, there is no immense difference in the mark of each 4 tempers, I would state that his character is balanced by all the four temper.

The Result of Questionnaire for Nami
Mark for Nami Score for Jules Total Score
A Choleric & # 8211 ; 8 point A Choleric & # 8211 ; 5 point A Choleric & # 8211 ; 13 point
B Melancholic & # 8211 ; 1 point B Melancholic & # 8211 ; 1 point B Melancholic & # 8211 ; 2 point
C Phlegmatic & # 8211 ; 0 point C Phlegmatic & # 8211 ; 2 point C Phlegmatic & # 8211 ; 2 point
D Sanguine & # 8211 ; 3 point D Sanguine & # 8211 ; 4 point D Sanguine & # 8211 ; 7 point
Both the questionnaires that I filled out for myself, and Jules filled out for me, show that my disposition is the Choleric, the fire. In the questionnaire that I filled out for myself, it is obvious that I am the Choleric. Which I have ever thought I was, and interestingly my star mark, Leo besides relates to the Fire. Although I besides expected that I would hold the disposition of the Sanguine, I did non take excessively many of the replies for the Sanguine. However, in the questionnaire that Jules filled out for me, there is merely one point difference between the Choleric and the Sanguine. He sees me as the Choleric but besides more the Sanguine than I think myself is.
The ground that I have expected I would be the Choleric is that the word, & # 8220 ; Dynamic and Active & # 8221 ; sounds the right word to show my character. I have ever my end oriented and travel rapidly to action. Bing over in Australia by myself to do my dream, to be a Naturopath, come true is the typical Choleric side of me. I sometimes feel myself being chesty, cranky and short pique which are the typical Choleric character. However I besides have an opposite side, which I get depressed easy and worry things excessively much. Jules has chosen & # 8220 ; Patient, Well balanced & # 8221 ; for my character though, particularly in the relationship, I have ne’er felt balanced myself and my head has ever been unstable. I get more the Melancholic sometimes. One of the Choleric inclination to seek the flawlessness and the Choleric mental province, & # 8220 ; crying & # 8221 ; might be the grounds to convey me the depression and emotional imbalance.
The both questionnaires that I filled out for myself, and Jules filled out for me, brought me the clear decision that my dominant disposition is the Choleric, the Fire.
Harmonizing the entire mark of the questionnaire, I consider myself as excessively choleric that my character is negatively dominated by one temper. I suppose, to equilibrate my disposition positively by all the 4 tempers is needed.

Decisions: Two herbs required by Myself and my Assistant on the footing of the dominant wit could include:
For Jules:
Burdock
The ground I have chosen the Burdock for Jules is that Burdock has the cold and dry nature, which balances the Sanguine Hot and Moist nature. It is used to extinguish the toxins and purifies the organic structure to equilibrate the Sanguine disposition. The Burdock is eaten as a vegetable frequently in the Far East, particularly in Japan. I use the Burdock to cook Nipponese nutrient frequently, so it is easy to take it into the day-to-day nutrition.
Echinacea
The Echinacea is the other herb I have chosen for Jules to equilibrate his dominant disposition, Sanguine. It besides has the cold and dry nature, which is opposite to the Sanguine nature, hot and moist. The Echinacea is used to excite the immune system, blood circulation and convey up the critical force.
For Nami:
Dandelion
The ground I have chosen the Dandelion for myself is that the Dandelion has the cold and damp nature, which balances the Choleric Hot and Dry nature. I frequently feel the puffiness of liver when I feel tired or hebdomad, so the medical belongingss of the Dandelion to excite the liver and kidney map would be good for me.
APPLE
The Apple is the other herb I have chosen for myself to equilibrate my dominant disposition, Choleric. It is popular fruit and easy to be taken as day-to-day nutrition. It has the cold and damp nature, which is opposite to the Choleric nature, hot and dry, so it would equilibrate my Choleric disposition. The Apple is used to excite the liver map which has ever been my hebdomad organ.
