Good to know
It’s been said there are two types of people: those who think there are two types of people, and those who don’t. This idea that humans can be organised by psychological types goes back centuries. Ancient Greek physician Hippocrates proposed that personality could be understood through four temperaments, each linked to different tendencies and ways of seeing the world. It’s a way of thinking that still quietly shapes how we understand ourselves – and each other – today.
