===Four temperaments model===
Historically, in the second century AD, the physician [[Galen]] described [[four temperaments|four classical temperaments]] (melancholic, phlegmatic, sanguine and choleric), corresponding to the [[four humors]] or bodily fluids.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/temperament|title = Temperament &#124; personality}}</ref> This historical concept was explored by [[philosopher]]s, [[psychologist]]s, [[psychiatrist]]s and psycho-physiologists from very early times of psychological science, with theories proposed by [[Immanuel Kant]], [[Hermann Lotze]], [[Ivan Pavlov]], [[Carl Jung]], [[Gerardus Heymans]] among others. In more recent history, [[Rudolf Steiner]] had emphasized the importance of the [[four humours|four classical temperaments]] in elementary education, the time when he believed the influence of temperament on the personality to be at its strongest.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://wn.rsarchive.org/Lectures/FourTemps/ForTem_index.html|title=The Four Temperaments: Lecture in Berlin|last=Steiner|first=Rudolf |year=1909|access-date=2009-04-21}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last=Steiner|first=Rudolf|title=The Four Temperaments|isbn=978-0-910142-11-3|year=1985}}</ref> Neither Galen nor Steiner are generally applied to the contemporary study of temperament in the approaches of modern medicine or contemporary psychology.
