How to analyze people on sight through the science of human analysis : $b the five human types
Benedict, Elsie Lincoln
Characters and characteristics
¶ The Muscular can work in almost any locality. But he should avoid
every place which keeps him too closely confined.
Vocations for Pure Musculars
¶ The driving of high-powered cars, airplanes, machinery of all kinds,
and work with his hands are the lines in which the average Muscular is
most often successful. Other lines for him are construction, civil
engineering, mechanics, professional dancing, acrobatics, athletics and
pugilism.
Women of this type make splendid physical culture teachers and expert
swimmers.
For Muscular-Alimentives
¶ The manufacturing and selling of practical foods, clothing and
shelter; also politics.
For Muscular-Thoracics
¶ Advertising, sculpture, osteopathy, athletics, exploration, medicine,
baritone and tenor singing, instrumental music, politics, social
service, transportation, designing and dentistry.
For Muscular-Osseous
¶ Construction, bridge building, office law, policemen and police women,
mechanics, mining.
For Muscular-Cerebrals
¶ Architecture, art, journalism, trial or jury law, oratory, surgery,
transportation. Teachers and tragedians also come from this type.

Part Four
VOCATIONS FOR THE OSSEOUS
¶ The Osseous man or woman can do his best work with things. Those with
which he works best are lands, forests, the sea, the plains, the
mountains and certain kinds of mechanical things.
Instead of combining things and people in his work, like the Alimentive;
machines and people, like the Muscular; or people only, like the
Thoracic, the Osseous must not only confine himself almost exclusively
to working with things, but he must work with them away from the
interference or interruption or superintendence of other people.
Capitalizes His Independence Instinct
¶ The Osseous, like other types, succeeds in work which automatically
brings into play his basic instincts. His fundamental instinct is that
of _independence_. He never succeeds signally in any line of work in
which this instinct is repressed or thwarted.
He chafes against restriction, enjoys mastering a thing and when let
alone to work in his own way he makes an excellent employee. As has been
stated, he is the "steadiest" of all.
Chances for Money-Making
¶ Chances for the Osseous to make a great deal of money are few. Unless
he confines himself to finance--working as exclusively with money as
possible--or to dealing with natural resources, the Osseous seldom
becomes rich.
He cares more for money than any of the other types, saves a much larger
portion of what he earns, and no matter how rich, is seldom extravagant.
His greatest obstacle to money-making is his tendency to hang on to
whatever he has, awaiting the rise in prices which never go quite high
enough to suit him.
