Default Is your temperament sanguine or dark?

And when I say dark I don’t necessarily mean in a Machiavellian sense (aka cruelty, manipulation, etc.). I just mean the type of person who’s more attracted to the more gritty/somber things in life (e.g., rain and thunder, slightly ironic/sarcastic humour, even dark chocolate, etc.).

Solidly Neutral Evil and yet I have a social conscience and champion fairness (not to be confused with justice) so basically an Antihero?

But yes. Extremely dark but I try not to lean into it I guess?

Probably the only thing about me I could describe as normal, or anywhere near

I did one of the little tests and apparently I’ve switched . I’ve become chaotic neutral in my old age

I voted average but in reality I’m probably somewhat dark (again, not in a sinister way). I think I like brooding too much to be considered average in that sense. The difference between me and them is that a lot of my interests are directed towards the outer world (meaning I have a genuine and deep interest in people) but when it comes to processing information and what I do during my down-time I’m quite far from sanguine.

Plus I’m one of those people who actually prefer the dark and weather that other people see as problematic (rain, thunder). I feel more energised when there’s a thunderstorm outside than when flowers start blooming again (not that I can’t still appreciate the perks that each season has to offer - it’s just a matter of slight preference).
