¶ There are two kinds of work in the world--head work and hand work; mental and manual. If you can star in either, life guarantees you a good living. But if you are good at neither you are doomed to dependence. The Cerebral's physical frailty unfits him for the manual and unless he is school-or self-educated he becomes the sorriest of all human misfits. He falls between the two and leads a precarious existence working in the lighter indoor positions requiring the least mentality. If you will keep your eyes open you will many times note that the little waiter in the high class restaurant or hotel has a head very large for his body. Such men are much better read, have a far greater appreciation of art and literature and more natural refinement than the porky patrons they serve. Social Assets ¶ A fine sense of the rights of others and natural modesty and refinement are the chief social assets of this type. Social Liabilities ¶ Lack of self-expression, too great reserve and too much abstractness in conversation are the things that handicap the Cerebral. His small stature and timid air also add to his appearance of insignificance and cause him to be overlooked at social affairs. Emotional Assets ¶ Sympathy, gentleness and self-sacrifice are other assets of this type. Emotional Liabilities ¶ A tendency to nervous excitement and to a lack of balance are the chief emotional handicaps of this type. Business Assets ¶ This type has no traits which can properly be called business assets. He dislikes business, is repelled by its standards and has no place in any of its purely commercial branches. Business Liabilities ¶ His inability to "keep his feet on the ground," and his tendency to "live in the clouds" and to be generally impractical unfit this type for business life. Domestic Strength ¶ Tenderness, consideration and idealism are the chief domestic assets of the Cerebral type. Domestic Weakness ¶ Inability to provide for his family, incapacity for making the money necessary to meet their needs, and his tendency to spend the little he does have on impossible schemes, are what wreck the domestic life of many splendid Cerebral men. Her inability to make one dollar do the work of two is a serious handicap to the Cerebral wife or mother. Should Aim At ¶ This man should aim at building up his body and practicalizing his mental processes. Should Avoid ¶ The Cerebral should avoid shallow, ignorant people, speculation and those situations that carry him farther away from the real world. His Strong Points ¶ His thinking capacity, progressiveness, unselfishness, and highly civilized instincts are the strongest points of this type. His Weakest Points ¶ Impracticality, dreaminess, physical frailty and his tendency to plan without doing, are the traits which stand in the way of his success. How to Deal with this Type Socially
