How do different temperaments handle conflict?

Cholerics confront directly. Sanguines smooth over or avoid. Melancholics analyze and retreat. Phlegmatics accommodate excessively. None is wrong; all have costs. Awareness prevents escalation and enables adaptation.

What's the conflict problem with sanguine temperament?

Sanguines avoid deep conflict discussion, smoothing over issues without resolution. Resentment builds silently. They benefit from deliberately addressing issues early, even when uncomfortable.

How can melancholic temperament improve conflict resolution?

Melancholics should speak sooner rather than ruminating; assume positive intent; distinguish major from minor issues. Their strength in analysis becomes weakness when they over-analyze; action becomes necessary.

What about phlegmatic conflict avoidance?

Phlegmatics need to recognize avoidance as withdrawal, not peace-making. Others feel unheard. Phlegmatics should voice concerns calmly and consistently, not just withdraw. Peace requires all voices present.
