The Sanguine is considered a sensitive personality type but this is a situational sensitivity. This personality is easily moved to tears but this is not generally an intense or very deep cry. A Sanguine might easily cry if they see an animal hurt but just as quickly forget the incident only moments later. It is helpful to think of the sanguine emotions as somewhat childlike. Just as most children respond out of extremes, so do the Sanguine.
“The apostle Peter is a good example of a Spirit-filled sanguine. After the day of Pentecost, Peter used his lips to preach Jesus Christ in power. There was an apparent consistency and control in Peter’s life from that point on, and absolutely no self-seeking tendencies. He was still a leader, but his conduct in Acts 4 shows a Spirit-dominated restraint foreign to his nature. His life was used greatly to glorify Christ because he was spirit-filled.” "Spirit-Controlled Temperament" by Tim LaHaye
