How do you go about getting your temperament calculated? I got a good hunch I'm water temperament. I just know it.

Yes I think there’s a correlation between astrology, MBTI and temperament. I found it very accurate.

How do you go about getting your temperament calculated? I got a good hunch I'm water temperament. I just know it.
There are many methods as I said (which may give different results), Greenbaum's is one of the most used nowadays, is well researched, simple and easy to remember.
You need the asc sign, the moon sign and season of birth, each of them is given 2 points. Then you also need the asc's ruler (planet), the asc's almuten (planet), the moon's ruler (sign) and the moon phase, these are given 1 point.
What you need to know to calculate...
air / Jupiter, Mercury (when oriental), Venus (when oriental) / 1st moon phase / spring = sanguine
fire / Sun, Mars / 2nd moon phase / summer = choleric
earth / Mercury (when occidental), Saturn / 3rd moon phase / fall = melancholic
water / Moon, Venus (when occidental) / 4th moon phase / winter = phlegmatic
If born at the other hemisphere, consider reversing the season. The author was flexible about this.
For the ASC's almuten, you need to use the table of essential dignities and have in mind the degree of your ASC and time of birth (if you have a day or night chart). Is 5 points for rulership, 4 points for exaltation, 3 points for triplicity, 2 points for terms and 1 point for face, The almuten is the planet with the most points.

Is that how it is with your type and temperament? would you share them? also which method did you use to calculate
temperament?
My brother is one of the few people I have the most reliable birth data (I checked his birth records myself) and I'm also 100% sure he is an introverted thinker, but thinking about his chart I realize there is no way he is not strongly choleric (Leo Sun, Mars and ASC with Sun and Mars rising in 1st, Sagittarius Moon ruled by an angular Jupiter also placed in Sagittarius, 2nd moon phase). He has cardiovascular issues and high blood pressure since young. Despite this, in Jung's view air = thinking.. it doesn't compute. I was told temperament isn't the same as personality so I should probably discard this idea after all.
"It might be easier to define temperament by what it is not. In the first place, it is not the same as personality, although personality can incorporate parts of someone's temperament in its expression. Personality is shaped by both internal and external factors, whereas temperament is entirely innate. Temperament is not character, though in some ways the two concepts have a commonality. Character can refer to the distinctive features or qualities that distinguish one form from another, and so is innate like temperament; but it also refers, at least in modern English connotation, to the moral nature of a person.
Temperament, by contrast, is inherent. We are born with our temperaments, and while there may be overlays of one temperamental style or another during our lives, what we get is what we keep. So temperament really has to do with a person's nature or disposition. Our inborn temperament is also what we fall back on when faced with a new situation: are we the take-charge, choleric type who rushes in to meet every new experience with gusto? Or the quiet melancholic, who hangs back and analyzes and would rather die than be the life of the party? Are we sanguine, looking to make new friends and social contacts, or phlegmatic and just want to be left alone?"

I don’t quite understand how to calculate it. But skimming through it it seems they don’t consider houses. In that case I know it most likely won’t resonate with me because they will for sure give me some cold temperament type for my Aqua bits alone. Even though theyre in the 12th house which I feel affects them more.

You misunderstood me, I meant your temperament as weighted through astrology, not through an online test as those aren't reliable. Is what I attempt to do here with MBTI, finding a way to assess your likely MBTI type by looking at the natal chart, without depending on a test that is likely to mistype you. Like I'm pretty sure this very same online test gives me phlegmatic (I have done it before) but most astrological methods has me as something else, mainly choleric.
Solar Fire gives me this calculation for example

These are the results from the OSPP Four Temperaments Test. The calculated scores for each type are shown below (scores range between 0 to 24).
Choleric

Melancholic

I was asked if there was a correlation between MBTI and astrology and I'm currently entertaining several ideas in my head. Apparently even Jung himself may have spoke about jungian functions and its relationship to astrological symbols as he was learned in the occult. Temperament is something that can be assessed through astrology and at the very least I'm sure he touched that subject somewhere. Not sure which is the best method though, anyone here have their temperament calculated? Solar Fire does it automatically but I'm not sure which method is using, the software has me as sanguine.
I remember doing Greenbaum's method and that gave me choleric (hot and dry) which I can get behind as I don't really prioritize relationships over my personal goals. As far as compounds go choleric/phlegmatic or even choleric/sanguine were more relatable than a dominant sanguine type. Unless I remember things wrong Jung agreed the fire element (which has hot and dry qualities) show intuition. I happen to be an intuitive so it fits nicely. I want to check if there is something to this or it's a dead end.

@borednbeautiful
If you have air Moon, air ASC and were born during spring season, that's basically 6 out of the 10 points in total you can get with this method.
@Jumpin_Jupiter
I posted an example so try to do it yourself by following it (I'm also open to any questions), it takes 2 minutes tops once you know what you are doing, even less so if you are able to do it in your mind. This is so you can learn how this works (the theory itself is extensive though) and check from where your result is coming from, that it isn't random.
@Lostthoughts
If you want, post your chart to check if you are in the Fi/Te axis or Ti/Fe axis. They are quite different but is also possible you may be using your unconscious "shadow" functions.
For temperament, see the 2nd post below you and also the 4th one in the 1st page.

Yeah, yours is hard.
I need to study more a couple of elements and both happen to be in your chart, the way they could possibly affect someone's personality. Like the case of Kurt Cobain, there is the ego type but you may be prone to express other functions due to reasons I'm not about to guess here.
I have to play discard and check what is left. I believe your dominant function is a perceiving one (that is intuitive or sensing) and is an extroverted function so it could only be extroverted sensing (Se) or extroverted intuition (Ne). From my own impression, there are strong hints of Ne even if there are no obvious ones for Si. Se appears to be part of an elaborated mask (I relate it to Mars and yours is on the ASC which is very important, while also being debilitated in Libra), there is a minor hint of Ni which will only give more strenght to the idea of you being an intuitive. As for the other axis, if you use Ne the secondary funtion could only be introverted feeling (Fi) or introverted thinking (Ti). I have issues to remember what should I prioritize here in cases like you but I think it will be Ti because even if you were to use a feeling function (be Fi or Fe) this is likely to be hindered or show a delay in its expression, the optimal one. The thinking functions don't suffer from this. All together means ENTP.. with a big question mark.
Due to those 2 elements I spoke before, consider this..
Ego: Ne Ti Fe Si (ENTP)
Subconscious: Si Fe Ti Ne (ISFJ)
Unconscious: Ni Te Fi Se (INTJ)
Super Ego: Se Fi Te Ni (ESFP)
WOW. You're really good at this. Dead on. I struggle with either being an ENTP with the super ego ESFP or an ESFP with the super ego ENTP. I think I was born with high Se. But I have developed Ne, or maybe it's the other way around. Also my Fi is only slightly over the line. So I'm like what is it Fi or Ti. Depends on the day. I'm a hit with the ENTPs on reddit so it makes me question, am I an ENTP? The ENTPs on here focking hate me though lol. I'm a 7w8 so that doesn't help. Thank you!click to expand

Is that how it is with your type and temperament? would you share them? also which method did you use to calculate
temperament?
My brother is one of the few people I have the most reliable birth data (I checked his birth records myself) and I'm also 100% sure he is an introverted thinker, but thinking about his chart I realize there is no way he is not strongly choleric (Leo Sun, Mars and ASC with Sun and Mars rising in 1st, Sagittarius Moon ruled by an angular Jupiter also placed in Sagittarius, 2nd moon phase). He has cardiovascular issues and high blood pressure since young. Despite this, in Jung's view air = thinking.. it doesn't compute. I was told temperament isn't the same as personality so I should probably discard this idea after all.
"It might be easier to define temperament by what it is not. In the first place, it is not the same as personality, although personality can incorporate parts of someone's temperament in its expression. Personality is shaped by both internal and external factors, whereas temperament is entirely innate. Temperament is not character, though in some ways the two concepts have a commonality. Character can refer to the distinctive features or qualities that distinguish one form from another, and so is innate like temperament; but it also refers, at least in modern English connotation, to the moral nature of a person.
Temperament, by contrast, is inherent. We are born with our temperaments, and while there may be overlays of one temperamental style or another during our lives, what we get is what we keep. So temperament really has to do with a person's nature or disposition. Our inborn temperament is also what we fall back on when faced with a new situation: are we the take-charge, choleric type who rushes in to meet every new experience with gusto? Or the quiet melancholic, who hangs back and analyzes and would rather die than be the life of the party? Are we sanguine, looking to make new friends and social contacts, or phlegmatic and just want to be left alone?"

I already have one idea that appears to give me decent results so far, maybe I should focus on that one.
Sure
I’m water dom, INFP and my temperament is phlegmatic then melancholic which all makes sense.

Yes I think there’s a correlation between astrology, MBTI and temperament. I found it very accurate.
Is that how it is with your type and temperament? would you share them? also which method did you use to calculate
temperament?
My brother is one of the few people I have the most reliable birth data (I checked his birth records myself) and I'm also 100% sure he is an introverted thinker, but thinking about his chart I realize there is no way he is not strongly choleric (Leo Sun, Mars and ASC with Sun and Mars rising in 1st, Sagittarius Moon ruled by an angular Jupiter also placed in Sagittarius, 2nd moon phase). He has cardiovascular issues and high blood pressure since young. Despite this, in Jung's view air = thinking.. it doesn't compute. I was told temperament isn't the same as personality so I should probably discard this idea after all.
"It might be easier to define temperament by what it is not. In the first place, it is not the same as personality, although personality can incorporate parts of someone's temperament in its expression. Personality is shaped by both internal and external factors, whereas temperament is entirely innate. Temperament is not character, though in some ways the two concepts have a commonality. Character can refer to the distinctive features or qualities that distinguish one form from another, and so is innate like temperament; but it also refers, at least in modern English connotation, to the moral nature of a person.

In mbti is that ENFJ?click to expand

I was originally asked for MBTI so I'm going to focus mostly on that as I don't think temperament correlates strongly with it anymore, maybe with enneagram and the Big 5? I was researching a bit last night and there could be something there, leaving this piece of info to someone who is curious about it. If anyone is still exploring temperament and need help or information, you can ask though.
@cersei
I was using this new method to assess as accuratedly as possible MBTI but is a work in progress. You said your type is INFP and your chart has some similarities to Kurt Cobain's.. can you post your chart? also from 1 to 10 how sure are you of your type? have you officially been tested? someone typed you? have you researched cognitive functions?
I'm looking at Cobain's chart and, according to my method, I can see he is in the Ne/Si and Fi/Te axis. Put together, and if I were to ignore who he is and how he is commonly typed, I would say he is ENFP as extroverted intuition appears to be the dominant function. There is another thing I'm looking at here (and probably something that is going to need hours of study to interpret better) but I think it involves the use of his functions in a different order or even imply the use of different ones. Let's say if we were to use the John Beebe's theory and 8-functions model and his ego functions were to be Ne-Fi-Te-Si (ENFP), his subconscious functions will be Si-Te-Fi-Ne (ISTJ), his unconscious functions Ni-Fe-Ti-Se (INFJ) and his super ego functions Se-Ti-Fe-Ni (ESTP). I don't know much about the personal life of Cobain but I have to wonder if, due to him being a successful artist, he developed an alter ego to deal with fame more effectively.
This is my chart. It’s not identical of course, but there are similarities.![]()
And as for mbti. Yes Im very very certain I am an INFP and aware of cognitive functions. For a while I was stuck between INFP ISFP or even INFJ. But through reading on the types, cognitive functions, and just going with my gut I feel INFP is definitely me.
Im not sure if Kurt Cobain can truly be an ENFP. All his music and journals are so Introverted feeling, and his auxiliary obviously Extraverted intuition, it’s become practically cannon that Kurt is posterchild INFP. In mbti community almost everyone agrees with that.
I can see where ENFP may seem possible, since they have similar functions, but he was obviously driven by feeling first. He navigated and viewed the world through his feelings. And his moral compass formed from his own feelings and view of the world. He had a strong moral compass, and strong reactions to anyone who threatened that compass. One thing he said stood out to me was when he said he wishes he could get rid of all the racists, sexists, and homophobes in the audience. It bothered him. He was forward in his beliefs. I would say very self aware, like he knew what he liked, disliked, what he wanted or didn’t want even if confused at times.
Emotional and often Fi doms are in their feels a lot. To the point we may pity ourselves or be a bit self destructive. When we’re unhealthy. And of course the Ne was there too in his music. But I feel Fi is dominant to Ne. If he isn’t an INFP then no one can be lolclick to expand

I remember doing Greenbaum's method and that gave me choleric (hot and dry) which I can get behind as I don't really prioritize relationships over my personal goals. As far as compounds go choleric/phlegmatic or even choleric/sanguine were more relatable than a dominant sanguine type. Unless I remember things wrong Jung agreed the fire element (which has hot and dry qualities) show intuition. I happen to be an intuitive so it fits nicely. I want to check if there is something to this or it's a dead end.
