The Four Temperaments

The four temperament theory is not widely accepted by psychologists in America. But there are plenty of other countries where a similar formulation of the theory called soc ix is accepted in academia. The russian space program, for example, has used this system when determining which cosmonots to send up into space together. Even if many particularities of the theory do not live up to scientific standards, there still is a large kernel of useful truth in it. In her book, plato at goglplex, rebecca newberger goldstein imagines plato transported through time to the present day and eagerly learning all about modern society and science.
