You will work with four colours – red, blue, yellow and green. Arrange the four colours in a line – the first colour is the one you like the best, the fourth is the one you like the least. Take your time arranging the colours. Your choice will reveal your up-to-date relation to the main four principles of characters – choleric – active, sangvinic – lighthearted, flegmatic – calm or melancholic – sombre.
