Large.--With Secretiveness, Self-esteem and Conscientiousness large,
an individual will detest hypocrisy and duplicity, yet will be
exceedingly prudent and circumspect in his conversation and conduct.
He will be slow to make acquaintances, and will require a long time
ere he becomes intimate with them. With Love of Approbation large, he
will be deferential and polite, and will possess a superior tact at
making himself agreeable. With Comparison and Individuality large, he
will possess a good knowledge of human nature, will be well qualified
to detect intrigue, and of frustrating any designs upon himself. If
Self-esteem, Firmness and Secretiveness are large, he will endure pain
with the most heroic fortitude and forbearance. If Conscientiousness
be moderate, he will be very suspicious towards others, and will
be perpetually on his guard. If Destructiveness and Self-esteem
are large, he will be easily made angry, but with Cautiousness and
Firmness large, will restrain his feelings even when highly excited.
With Conscientiousness and Cautiousness large, it will be exceedingly
difficult for him to form an opinion. With Adhesiveness moderate, and
Imitation large, he will be liable to be very friendly to one’s face,
and abuse him in his absence. With Self-esteem and Firmness large,
will seldom yield to an opponent, but will very often deceive him by
appearing to have yielded.
Moderate.--With Secretiveness moderate, and Self-esteem large, one will
be frank, candid and open-hearted in his ordinary intercourse with
society, yet will be capable, when necessity requires it, of intrigue
and duplicity. He will be frank, open and sincere to acquaintances,
yet will manifest much reserve to strangers. His ordinary conversation
will be discreet, yet, when excited, he will express his sentiments
regardless of consequences; this is more particularly true when
Cautiousness is small. He will then be distinguished for contrariety
of feeling, being prudent and circumspect at one time, and open, blunt
and offending at another. Conscientiousness being small, adds much to
the strength of Secretiveness. He will then use deception and intrigue
whenever they answer his purpose. If Self-esteem, Combativeness and
Destructiveness are large, he will be very blunt and decided, when
nothing is to be gained by an opposite course, and will express his
sentiments without scruple.
