A [[Five-Man Band]] specializes by role to the team. [[The Hero|Someone leads]], [[The Lancer|someone disagrees]], [[The Smart Guy|someone is smart]], [[The Big Guy|someone is tough]], and [[The Chick|someone ensures that none of the]] [[The Face|above kill each other]].

But there is a way to make a group of people diverse without giving them specialized roles in a form of a group that would probably best be specialized for questing. One way is through personality, in this case based off of [[Science Marches On|wacky ancient pseudoscience]].
The four temperaments (also called the "four humors") was a theory that behavior was caused by concentrations of body
The four temperaments (humors) are:
* '''{{color|red|Sanguine (blood)}}:''' Extroverted and people-oriented. Exhibits optimism, good cheer, [[Boisterous Bruiser|a love of fun]], enthusiasm. On the flip side, they may be impulsive, arrogant, self-indulgent, [[Mood Swinger|easily angered or upset]], [[The McCoy|wear their hearts on their sleeves]], or even be a [[Cloudcuckoolander|space case]]. Corresponds to the element of [[Blow You Away|air]]. If female, will be a [[Genki Girl]], [[The Pollyanna]], or a more [[Plucky Girl|plucky]]/out-going [[Proper Lady]].
* '''{{color|
* '''{{color|black|Melancholic (black bile)}}:''' Introverted and task-oriented. Independent, courteous, organized, hard-working, [[The Smart Guy|analytical]]; but also a detached, [[The Spock|broo]][[Byronic Hero|ding]], [[Super OCD|obsessive]] [[The Perfectionist|perfectionist]] whose [[Knight Templar|insanely high standards]] lead to [[The Eeyore|depression]]. Corresponds to the element of [[Dishing Out Dirt|earth]]. If female, will be a more brooding/loner type [[Ice Queen]].
* '''{{color|green|Phlegmatic (phlegm)}}:''' Introverted and people-oriented. Is calm, [[The Stoic|stoic]], [[Only Sane Man|reliable]], [[Nice Guy|compassionate]], observant; but also [[Lazy Bum|lazy]], reactionary, [[Extreme Doormat|docile]]. Tends to be dependent on others, either by choice or because of insecurity. Corresponds to the element of [[Making a Splash|water]]. If female, will be either a [[Dandere]], [[Shrinking Violet]], submissive [[Proper Lady]], a more calm and collected [[Lady of War]], or an [[Emotionless Girl|emotionless]] [[Ice Queen]].

Alternatively, there's a system of five temperaments where the Phlegmatic is moved into a central, fifth position, with the fourth corner being filled by the Supine temperament:
* '''{{color|blue|Supine (tears)}}:''' Quiet, friendly, nonconfrontational, and dependent on others. Basically narrows the first type phlegmatic category down to those whose introversion is due to [[Shrinking Violet|shyness and/or low self-esteem]].
* '''{{color|
A Four Temperament Ensemble will have one character to fit each one of these four temperaments. Sometimes a Five Man Band with four members will also be a Four Temperament Ensemble, but in many cases, they're mutually exclusive.

They are also similar to the four [[Personality Blood Types]], and are sometimes also a [[Four-Element Ensemble]]. See also [[Cast Calculus]] for the overarching archetypes in this and differently numbered ensembles. [[Four-Temperament Ensemble/Image Links|Here is an Image Archive for this trope]].
Additionally, Pseudolonewolf (of [[MARDEK]] fame) has a page that goes into great detail on the four temperaments, [https://web.archive.org/web/20140827233551/http://archive.fighunter.com/?page=temperaments here.]
For another way to split up a group of four, see [[Four-Philosophy Ensemble]].
