Here I am incorporating the original Greek association with the temperaments and the various sources of Typing Systems regarding facial shape. The point is that typing cannot be made on face shape alone:
- since if your face is oval, you could possibly be any of the types;
- if your face is round that doesn't only mean you're Type 1 but Type 2 should also be ruled out or considered (this is the biggest difference between the Greek's and most modern Typing);
- the angular face shapes of triangular (wider at the chin, Type 3) and heart (wider at the forehead, usually Type 1) are probably the most singular.
Two Types of Sanguines, wait Three?
Venusian Sanguines have oval faces, unless they are
the Jovial subtype with acorn face shape (or heart).
Caygill and other Typing systems on say Sanguines have round faces
(except Riter's Science of Personal Dress)

Two Types of Cholerics
Most Cholerics have a triangular face shape,
unless they are the Apollian subtype with oval.

Two Types of Melancholics
Melancholics have square or rectangular faces (or elongated ovals).
Mercurial subtypes have elongated ovals and long thin noses.
Saturnine subtypes have a more prominent aquiline nose
and the back of their head may be flat.
