性情中人,怎么翻译成英语?

你是个性情中人。这个说法,如何用英语来表达呢?有人这样翻译:be as you are 率性而为, 大家觉得怎么样?

看个例句:
Of course, I am not saying that I am terrific because I also have a temperament, and I sometimes do not behave well.
这里给出的翻译就是这样的:
“我當然不是說自己很了不起,因為我也 是性情中人,有時候亦會表現行為欠佳。”
   
可能比较合适的翻译,是用到这个词,temperament
temperament
tem·pera·ment / ˈtemprəmənt /
noun

1. , U] a person's or an animal's nature as shown in the way they behave or react to situations or people
   (人或动物的)气质,性情,性格,禀性:
   to have an artistic temperament
   有艺术家的气质
   a horse with an excellent temperament
   性情温顺的马
   She's a dreamer and a romanticby temperament.
   她生性异想天开,浪漫多情。
2. the tendency to get emotional and excited very easily and behave in an unreasonable way
   易冲动;(性情)暴躁;喜怒无常:
   an actor given to displays of temperament
   性情喜怒无常的演员

性情中人,也许可以这样说,a person with a temperament
给大家提一个问题,加一个natural,是不是会很多余,a person with a natural temperament?

另外,a man in his element,可以参考下,根据语境,能表达“性情中人”的意思。
in your 'element
   doing what you are good at and enjoy
   如鱼得水;得心应手:
   She's really in her element at parties.
   她在社交聚会上真是如鱼得水。

参考下面更多的表达:

You're a sentimentalist, doctor.

Because, my dear Ricky, I suspect that under that cynical shell you are at heart a sentimentalist.
