How to analyze people on sight through the science of human analysis : $b the five human types
Benedict, Elsie Lincoln
Characters and characteristics
Take notice amongst your friends and you will see that the girl who
changes the furniture all around every few weeks is invariably of this
type. "It makes me feel that I have changed my location and takes the
place of a trip," explained one girl not long ago.
Wants "Something Different"
¶ The exact color of hangings, wall-paper, interior decorations and
accessories are matters of vital import to this type. Whereas the
Alimentives demand comfort, the Thoracics ask for "something different,"
something that catches and holds the eye--that makes an instantaneous
impression upon the onlooker and gives him one more thing by which to
remember the personality of the one who lives there.
This type considers his room and home as a part of himself and takes the
pains with them which he bestows upon his clothes.
When He is Rich
¶ Wealth to the Thoracic means unlimited opportunity for achieving the
unusual in everything. His tastes are more extravagant than those of
other types. Uncommon works of art are usually found in the homes of
this type. The most extraordinary things from the most extraordinary
places are especial preferences with him.
He carries out his desire for attention here as in everything else and
what he buys will serve that end directly or indirectly.
Fashion and "Flare"
¶ "Flare" aptly describes the quality which the pure Thoracic desires in
all that touches him and his personality. It must have verve and "go"
and distinctiveness. It must be "the latest" and "the thing."
He is the last type of all to submit to wearing last year's suit,
singing last year's songs, or driving in a last year's model.
Likes Dash
¶ The Thoracic wants everything he wears, drives, lives in or owns to
"get across," to make an impression. The fat man loves comfort above all
else, but the florid man loves distinction.
He does not demand such easy-to-wear garments as the fat man. On the
contrary, he will undergo extreme discomfort if it gives him a
distinctive appearance. He wants his house to be elegant, the grounds
"different," the view unusual.
Has Color Sense
¶ Whereas the fat man when furnishing a home devotes his attention to
soft beds, steam heat and plenty of cushioned divans, the Thoracic
thinks of the chandeliers, the unusual chairs, the pretty front
doorstep, the landscape gardening and the color schemes.
When He is in Moderate Circumstances
¶ When only well to do this type will be found to have carried out
furnishings and decorations with the taste worthy of much larger purses.
When merely well to do he wears the very best clothes he can possibly
afford, and often a good deal better. This type does not purpose to be
outwitted by life. He tries always to put up a good showing.
When He is Poor
