How to use "Hot-tempered" in context?
Hot-tempered people can be difficult to work with, but they can also be really fun and entertaining. Temperament is a deep evolutionary psychology term that refers to how an individual reacts to different situations. In general, hot-tempered people are more reactive to stimulation. This can make them more spontaneous and adventurous, but it can also lead to problems if they don't control their reactions.
Hot-tempered people are often quick to anger. This can be a result of a feeling of being overwhelmed or attacked. They may also be short-tempered because they have difficulty maintaining control.
