How to analyze people on sight through the science of human analysis : $b the five human types
Benedict, Elsie Lincoln
Characters and characteristics
This is also true of every other type. The Alimentive has small, fat,
dimpled hands and feet like his body; the Thoracic has tapering hands
and feet to match his face and body; the Muscular's body, hands and feet
are all square; but the Osseous has a bony body, so his hands and feet
are equally bony.
The Man of Slow Movements
¶ "He is too slow for me," you have heard some one say of another.
Perhaps you heard it said today. Review the outward appearance of all
the people you know who have this reputation, from those of your
earliest childhood down to that person of whom it was spoken today--and
you will find that every one of them resembled the bony type we have
just been describing.
Look back and call to mind the appearance of all the "rapid" ones and
you will find that in every case they possessed high color, high chests
or high-bridged noses. Take another look for the easy-going amenable
ones, and see how plump they all were!
The Straight-Laced
¶ None of these things "just happened." They are the result of the law
of cause and effect. The connection between external and internal traits
is becoming clearer every day and reveals some very unexpected things.
One that has been discovered very recently is that the straight-faced
are the straight-laced. Notice for yourself and you will find that every
person who is really "straight-laced" is a person with a straight
face--that is, a face with straighter up-and-down lines than the
average.
Think back over those you have known who come under this heading and
you will find no actually round-faced people amongst them.
No matter how sanctimonious, religious or correct a person may act when
his position or the occasion demands it, if he has a round, "moon" face
he is not really straight-laced at heart. Any one who knows him well
enough to know his real nature will tell you so.
The Naturally Conventional
¶ The "born Puritan," the ascetic, and the naturally conventional person
is, on the other hand, invariably an individual of more severe facial
outlines.
This person may be in an unconventional position; your straight-faced,
severe-lined person may be a gambler, a boot-legger, or follow any other
line defying the conventions; but he is at heart a conservative after
all. For instance, you will always find, when you know him, that he does
things in a way that is very conventional to him. That is, he has
decided standards, rules, habits and requirements, and he clings rigidly
to them in the transaction of his business, regardless of how lax the
business itself may be.
"A certain way of doing things" means as much to him, at heart, as it
means little to the circular-faced people.
Systematic and Methodical
¶ "A place for everything and everything in its place" is a rule
preached and practised by people of this type.
