A Philip Dick Variation on the "Four Temperaments"

I was reading this New Yorker piece about Philip K. Dick when it occurred to me how complementary the four temperaments are. One of Dick's novels could be seen as variations on that theme:

The gift of Dick’s craziness was to see how strong the forces of normalcy are in a society, even when what they are normalizing is objectively nuts. In “Clans of the Alphane Moon,” from 1964, a mental hospital in a remote solar system has been abandoned by its keepers, and the lunatics have, over time, proliferated and organized themselves into a strange but functioning and interdependent country: a clan of paranoids supplies the statesmen, the Skitzes live in poverty but have wild poetic visions, the Deps provide a depressed realistic appraisal of the future, and the manics are the warriors. It’s weird, but it’s a working society, not a suicidal one. And a society that in some ways resembles Dick’s own, that of the Johnson-Nixon years.

The Deps could be the melancholics, the Skitzes the phlegmatics (i.e. sensuality, sloth), the paranoids the sanguines (i.e. "self-will, control, anger, haughtiness, superiority") and the manics the cholerics.
