Large.--With Individuality large, one is induced to observe and examine
every object that comes under the limits of his vision. His scrutiny
does not appear to include the peculiarities of substances, but rests
satisfied with their mere corporeal existence. He is distinguished as
a close observer of men and things. In description he is exceedingly
minute; and with Concentrativeness large, prolix and tedious to the
last degree. With Eventuality and Time large, he will not only notice
quickly, but will remember with exactness; and with Language large, can
describe accurately events, manners, customs, &c. With these organs
large, he will have a great desire for reading, and for collecting
facts. With the Reflective Powers and Language large, will be much
given to reflection, and in expressing his thoughts will be clear and
perspicuous.
Moderate.--With Individuality moderate, and the Reflective Powers and
Concentrativeness large, will be subject to abstraction of mind, and
will be much more given to reflection than to observation, still, when
any thing peculiar is offered to his attention, he can readily examine
its character. He will generally notice existences more in relation to
their uses and adaptations, than as mere identities.
Small.--A person whose Individuality is small, is generally heedless
and unobserving. With Locality moderate or small, he may travel
extensively; and yet remain as ignorant as if he had staid at home.
Nothing but the more obvious characteristics has power to excite his
attention. If Constructiveness and Ideality are full, he will notice
works of architecture, but his descriptions of such will lack unity
in consequence of his incapacity to notice details. If Causality and
Comparison are large, he will be addicted to reflection, but his
expressions will be vague and apparently inconsistent, consequent on
his inability to collect minute details.
2. FORM.
This organ gives the ability to discriminate forms. It aids the artist,
and a prominent developement is indispensable to the skilful mechanic.
Predominant.--With Form predominant, one never forgets the appearance
of any thing that has once came distinctly under his cognition. He will
readily discriminate the forms of objects at a distance, and perceive
differences and resemblances where many others will not; can recollect
the name of a person by remembering its appearance when written; will
easily detect typographical errors; and with Size and Individuality
large, can read with great facility and correctness.
Large.--With Form large, one much more readily recollects the
appearance of a person than his name, this is more particularly the
case with Individuality large. With Individuality small, he will not
be apt to pay attention to ordinary matters, but if his attention is
called to them, he recollects their appearance with distinctness. With
Imitation large, he will be able to draw and copy with great facility,
and will excel in penmanship.
