Phlegmatic

In the context of personality types, "phlegmatic" refers to a temperament characterized by calmness, reliability, and a laid-back nature. People with a phlegmatic disposition tend to be thoughtful, easygoing, and often avoid conflict. They can be good listeners and are typically patient and steady in their approach to life. While they may not be the most assertive, their cooperative and gentle demeanor makes them valued friends and colleagues. The concept originates from ancient medical theory, where it was believed that bodily fluids influenced personality traits, with phlegmatic individuals thought to have a predominance of phlegm.
