How to analyze people on sight through the science of human analysis : $b the five human types

Characters and characteristics
¶ Don't expect him to be a social lion. Don't expect him to mingle with
many. Invite him when there are to be a few congenial souls, and if he
wanders into the library leave him alone.
How to Deal with this Type in Business
¶ Don't employ this man for heavy manual labor or where there is more
arm work than head work. Give him mental positions or none.
If you are dealing with him as a tradesman, resist the temptation to
take advantage of his impracticality and don't treat him as if you
thought money was everything.
_Remember, the chief distinguishing marks of the Cerebral, in the order
of their importance, are the HIGH FOREHEAD and a PROPORTIONATELY LARGE
HEAD FOR THE BODY. Any person who has these is largely of the Cerebral
type no matter what other types may be included in his makeup._
To Understand Combinations
Determine which type PREDOMINATES in a subject.
If there is any doubt in your mind about this do these four things:
1st. Note the body build--which one of the five body types (as shown in
Charts 1, 3, 5, 7, 9) does he most resemble? (In doing this it will aid
you if you will note whether fat, bone or muscle predominates in his
bodily structure.)
2nd. Decide which of the five typical faces his face most resembles.
3rd. Decide which of the five typical hands his hands most resemble.
4th. If still undecided, note his voice, gestures and movements and they
will leave no doubt in your mind as to which of these types comes first
and which second.
Having decided which type predominates and which is second in him, the
significance of this combination is made clear to you by the following
law:
Law of Combination
¶ The type PREDOMINATING in a person determines WHAT he does throughout
his life--the NATURE of his main activities.
The type which comes second in development will determine the WAY he
does things--the METHODS he will follow in doing what his predominant
type signifies.
The third element, if noticeable, merely "flavors" his personality.
Thus, a Cerebral-Muscular-Alimentive does MENTAL things predominantly
throughout his life, but in a more MUSCULAR way than if he were an
extreme Cerebral. The Alimentive element, being third down the list,
will tend to make him eat and assimilate more food than he otherwise
would.
CHAPTER VI
Types That Should and Should Not Marry Each Other
"I am so sorry to hear the Browns are being divorced. I have known George
and Mary for years and they are as fine a man and woman as I ever saw.
But they just don't seem able to get along together."
How many times you have heard something like this. And the speaker got
nearer the truth than he knew. For the Georges and Marys everywhere are,
on the whole, fine men and women.
Married to the Wrong One
¶ Each one is all right in himself, but merely married to the wrong
person--a fact we have recognized when both George and Mary made
successes of their second ventures and lived happily ever after.
