From http://www.greekmedicine.net/b_p/Four_Humors.html [greekmedicine.net]
Blood promotes a feeling of joy, mirth, optimism, enthusiasm, affection and wellbeing.
Phlegm induces passivity, lethargy, subjectivity, devotion, emotionalism, sensitivity and sentimentality.
Yellow Bile provokes, excites and emboldens the passions. Being inflammatory, irritating and caustic, it provokes anger, irritability, boldness, ambition, envy, jealousy and courage.
Black Bile makes one pensive, melancholy and withdrawn. It encourages prudence, caution, realism, pragmatism and pessimism.

"The four humors of Hippocratic medicine were black bile (gr. melan chole), yellow bile (gr. chole), phlegm (gr. phlegma), and blood (lat. sanguis)."
Which, of course, we all know as melancholy, choleric, phlegmatic, and sanguine, respectively. OK, well maybe those of us that took world history (the real kind that covers such things)... And if you want to read the Wikipedia article that actually talks about the personality traits related to them, try here. [wikipedia.org]
