How to analyze people on sight through the science of human analysis : $b the five human types
Benedict, Elsie Lincoln
Characters and characteristics
¶ He should avoid, above all things, a partner who is Osseous like
himself. An Osseous always knows what he wants to do, how he wants to do
it, and when. And one of the requirements with him usually is that it
must be the opposite of the thing, manner and time desired by the other
fellow.
So in business, as in marriage, two Osseous people find themselves in
unending warfare. He should avoid the Osseous employee also for the same
reasons, and choose the only types that will submit to his hard driving.
Bosses to Avoid
¶ The Osseous should never work for a boss when he has brains enough to
work alone. He is so independent that it is almost impossible for him to
take orders, and the "contrary streak" in him runs so deep that he is
just naturally against what others want him to do.
He is the most insubordinate of all types as an employee and as a boss
is the most inexorable.
Localities to Avoid
¶ The Osseous should avoid all congested communities. He does not belong
in the city. Except in some vocation where he handles money, he seldom
succeeds in a metropolis.
His field is the frontier--the great open spaces of land, sea, forest
and mountain--where he works with things that grow, that are not
sensitive, that do not offer human resistance to his imperious,
dominating nature.
Vocations for Pure Osseous
¶ Farming, stock-raising, lumbering, lighthouse keeping, open-sea
fishing, hardware, saw-milling and all pioneering activities are the
vocations in which the unmixed Osseous succeeds best.
For Osseous-Alimentives
¶ Work as a farm hand, sheep or cattle herder, or truck gardener are the
lines in which this combination succeeds best. He can do clerical work
also.
For Osseous-Thoracics
¶ Agriculture, carpentering, railroading, mining, office law, electrical
and chemical engineering are the first choices for this combination.
Both men and women of this type succeed on police forces also.
For Osseous-Cerebrals
¶ The invention of intricate mechanical devices is something in which
this combination often succeeds. Other lines for him are those of
statistician, mathematician, proof-reader, expert accountant,
genealogist and banker.

VOCATIONS FOR CEREBRALS
¶ The Cerebral man or woman can never be happy or successful until he is
in work that deals with ideas. But his planning is often impractical and
for this reason he does not succeed when working independently as does
the Osseous.
Capitalizes His Cerebrative Instinct
¶ The Cerebral gets his name from the cerebrum or thinking part of the
brain, because this is the system most highly evolved in him. Its great
size in the large-headed man causes it to dominate his life.
Thus his chief instinct is cerebration--dreaming, meditating,
visualizing, planning. Since these are the real starters of all progress
this type should be encouraged, with a view to making him more
practical.
