¶ Cruel, angry words do the Muscular much harm in his family life. They cause his nearest and dearest to hold against him the resentments that follow. Should Aim At ¶ Taking more frequent vacations, relaxing each day, and curbing his pugnacity should be the special aims of this type. Should Avoid ¶ Superficial and quarrelsome people, all situations requiring pretence, and everything that confines and restricts his physical activity should be avoided by this type. Strongest Points ¶ Democracy, industry and great physical strength are the strongest points of this type. Weakest Points ¶ Inclination to overwork and to fight constitute the Muscular's two weakest links. How to Deal with this Type Socially ¶ Don't put on airs nor expect him to when you are meeting this type socially. Be straightforward and genuine with him if you would win him. How to Deal with this Type in Business ¶ Remember, this type is inclined to be efficient and democratic and you had better be the same if you wish to succeed with him in business. He is intensely resentful of the man who tries to put anything over on him; and demands efficiency. So when you promise him a thing see to it that you deliver the goods and for the price stated. He does not mind paying a good price if he knows it in the beginning, but beware of raising it afterwards. The Muscular is serious in business, not a jollier like the Alimentive, nor a thriller like the Thoracic, and he wants you to be the same. _Remember, the chief distinguishing marks of the Muscular, in the order of their importance, are LARGE, FIRM MUSCLES, A SQUARE JAW and SQUARE HANDS. Any person who has these is largely of the Muscular type, no matter what other types may be included in his makeup._ CHAPTER IV The Osseous Type "The Stayer" Men and women in whom the Osseous or bony framework of the body is more highly developed than any other system are called the Osseous type. This system consists of the bones of the body and makes what we call the skeleton. Just as the previous systems were developed during man's biological evolution for purposes serving the needs of the organism--first, a stomach-sack, then a freight system in the form of arteries to carry the food to remoter parts of the body, and later muscles with which to move itself about--so this bony scaffolding was developed to hold the body upright and better enable it to defend and assert itself. [Illustration: 7 Osseous "the stayer"] Man is a creature who, in spite of his height, walks erect. He can so do only by means of the support given him by his bony framework. The human body is like a tall building--the muscles are like the mortar and plaster, the bones are like the steel framework around which everything else is built and without which the structure could not stand upright. How to Know Him ¶ Prominent ankles, wrists, knuckles and elbows are sure signs that such an individual has a large osseous or bony element in his makeup.
