inexcitable
Never gets riled
Inexcitable describes someone or something not easily stirred to emotion or excitement—calm, unflappable, steady under pressure.
An inexcitable demeanor remains composed when others panic.
In physiology, inexcitable tissue fails to respond to stimulation: The damaged nerve was inexcitable.
The word implies a kind of constitutional steadiness rather than forced restraint.
