In Red Mars, psychologist Michel Duval slots the classical temperaments into his own psychological theory: Sanguine = Extroverted + Stabile; Choleric = Extroverted + Labile; Phlegmatic = Introverted + Stabile; Melancholic = Introverted + Labile.
The Roman Mysteries: This is actually explictly stated in the books, which is justified because it takes place during a time period when doctors still believed in the four humors.
The Saga of Incredible Weirdness: the later books have the four eldest Marshall brothers (as the second group):
Choleric | Melancholic | Supine | Sanguine | Phlegmatic | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|

The four girls of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants:
Chol-Sanguine | Carmen | the Spicy Latina who snaps easily. |
---|---|---|
Melan-Choleric | Tibby | Snark Knight, according to whom screaming "Screw the world!" is much easier than feeling anything. |
Sup-ancholic | Lena | Shrinking Violet who's saddened by knowing that people who have lost everything (Kostas and Bridget) are still open to love while she is afraid to let herself love |
Sang-Supine | Bridget | single-minded the Genki Girl |
Sleepers by Lorenzo Carcaterra: four protagonists and, interestingly, the four abusive guards at the reform school fit this paradigm rather neatly.

---|---|---|---|---|

From The Tillerman Family Series: Dicey (choleric), James (phlegmatic), Maybeth (melancholic/supine), and Sammy (sanguine).
The Night Lords of Warhammer40000 are introduced this way. The lineup for First Claw at the beginning Soul Hunter played for the worst of each pair (seemingly) of humors, because to do otherwise wouldn't be Grimdark.
Chol-Sanguine | Uzas | Emotions are all or nothing; almost universally violent, irritated or sullen when he isn't an unreadable shell. Thinks only of himself, which is how he became corrupt in the first place. He himself admits he all but runs on a slow, seething rage. |
---|---|---|
Melan-Choleric | Xarl | Cynic, chronic complainer, suspicious pessimist, and yet somehow a very capable Lancer for Talos. Throws his whole life into the sword, which shows in every sense of the word. |
Sup-ancholic | Talos | His romanticism of his Legion's past and the power his prophetic abilities have over his life have left him worn thin all around; known to brood over both. His stubbornness, however, won't let him put anything less than his heart and soul into what he does, and it's nearly killed him before. |
Sang-Supine | Cyrion | Possibly the most easy-going of the group, and the most vocally distressed at the state of the Legion, although it also means he stands out the least in the shambling wreck of a squad. |
Choleric | Melancholic | Phlegmatic | Sanguine |
---|---|---|---|
Lionblaze | Jayfeather | Ivypool | Dovewing |
V. C. Andrews' Wildflowers series:
Choleric | Melancholic | Phlegmatic | Sanguine |
---|---|---|---|
Star | Jade | Cat | Misty |
- Her Orphans series also has this, although it's not as pronounced: Janet/Butterfly is definitely phlegmatic, Crystal is probably melancholic, Brooke (who narrates the final book in the series) fits sanguine the best, and Raven is a mix of choleric and melancholic.
In tod Strasser's Wildlife trilogy, boy howdy are the Coming Attractions a textbook example:
Choleric | Melancholic | Phlegmatic | Sanguine |
