Small.--With Weight but small, one will easily lose his balance, even
in situations where no danger is to be apprehended. He will be enabled
to excel as a marksman or wrestler; will be enabled to learn to skate,
or to pitch quoits. With large Form, Constructiveness and Imitation,
will have a mechanical turn, but will be unable to excel as a machinist
in consequence of his inability to perform the functions ascribed to
this organ.
5. COLOUR.
This organ gives the perception of Colour, and renders one sensible to
their different shades, their harmony and discord.
Predominant.--With this organ predominant, one will notice the colour
of an object before any other peculiarity appertaining to it; will take
delight in colours, in their arrangement, order and beauty.
Large.--With Colour, Ideality and Comparison large, one will be
distinguished for his love of colours, and his ability to discriminate
and arrange them. With large Form, Ideality, Individuality,
Constructiveness and Imitation, Size and Order, will excel as a
portrait painter, and take great delight in that occupation; and with
Eventuality, Locality and Comparison, as an historical painter.
Moderate.--With Colour but moderate, and in an occupation that does not
exercise the function of this organ, one will be decidedly deficient
in his ability to discriminate colours, but if his pursuits are
the reverse of what is here presumed, he will be a tolerable judge
of colours, and possess considerable taste in his arrangement and
selection of them.
Small.--With this organ but small, an individual will be unable to
discriminate any but the most striking colours. With Ideality large,
may be fond of paintings, but will be unable to point out their
peculiar beauties. He can never tell the colour of the eyes or hair of
even his familiar acquaintances.
6. ORDER.
This organ imparts that quality of mind, which prompts an individual to
preserve order and arrangement in his several pursuits and occupations.
The peculiar action of the organ is much dependent upon the character
of the other developements.
Predominant.--With this organ predominant, one will be distinguished
for his love of order and arrangement. His maxim will be “_a place for
every thing, and every thing in its place_.” This quality of mind will
be a prominent trait in his character, and will influence to a great
degree his conduct and actions.
