Large.--With this organ large, one will be much annoyed by disorder;
his room, clothes, books, papers, and every thing under his control,
will always be kept in the utmost neatness and regularity. With
Adhesiveness large, will be fond of social enjoyments, but his
pleasures will be much interrupted on discovering a want of neatness
and order in the persons of his friends and acquaintances. With
Ideality and Individuality large, will be exceedingly neat and
fastidious. With Combativeness and Destructiveness large, will easily
get offended and angry at seeing things out of place. With Locality
large, he will be enabled to perform actions in places in the dark,
with which he is acquainted almost as well as in the light. With
Ideality but moderate or small, he will be slovenly in his dress and
appearance, yet preserve order, arrangement and neatness with his
books, papers, &c.
Moderate.--With Order but moderate, one will be rather deficient
in the qualities ascribed to this organ. He will be fond of order,
and acknowledge its utility, but will be unable to observe it. With
Ideality large, and having been educated in habits of order and
neatness, the action of this organ will be much improved. He will
possess most of the qualities ascribed to Order large, but will never
sacrifice much to this quality of mind; but with Ideality small, and
with an imperfect education, he will be slovenly, loose and irregular
in all his actions and movements.
Small.--With this organ small, one will be exceedingly disorderly and
incoherent in all his arrangements, and business details. His actions
will not be guided by system, his books, papers, &c. will be left where
he happens to use them. He will be unable to appreciate the utility of
order, and complain of those who practice it as being over nice.
7. CALCULATION.
This organ enables us to form the idea of number, or the plurality of
objects. It assists in the recollection of dates and quantities. It
enables one to readily understand numbers and their combinations. Its
activity takes place, whenever there is a departure from unity. A
large endowment of this organ is not essential to the algebraist and
geometrician, its functions being limited to arithmetical calculations.
Predominant.--One having Calculation predominant, will reckon in his
head almost any arithmetical problem that can be proposed to him.
If Causality and Comparison are large, he will excel in the higher
branches of mathematics, and possess a great fondness for these studies.
Large.--With calculation large, one will be distinguished among his
acquaintances for his skill in arithmetical calculations. He will be
enabled to tell at a glance, operations which to an ordinary accountant
require the use of figures. If Causality and Comparison are large, he
will excel in solving difficult problems in the higher mathematics,
but if these organs are deficient, his talent will be limited to
arithmetical calculations.
