Moderate.--With Causality moderate, and with proper culture, one may
possess good judgment and a reasoning turn of mind, but he will be
destitute of originality and force of thought. In an occupation or
course of life to which he has been accustomed, he will conduct with
prudence and propriety, but will be deficient in the necessary power
to devise means for extraordinary operations, lay new plans, and to
carry into effect important operations. With large Individuality,
Imitation and Love of Approbation, and small Self-esteem, he will be
destitute of any marked characteristics of his own, and will readily
adapt himself to the views and opinions of his companions.
Small.--With Causality small, one will be utterly deficient in
originality and force of mind, and will be wanting in that quality
of character which renders men calm, judicious, penetrating and
discerning. With the propensities and sentiments properly balanced, he
will possess discretion, and be enabled to conduct operations to which
he has been accustomed.
2. COMPARISON.
The office of this organ is to enable us to compare differences, to
note resemblances, and to perceive analogies. By it we are enabled
to adapt one thing to another so as to produce a harmonious whole. It
prompts to the use of figurative language in writing and conversation.
Those in whom it is large, trace similitudes and affinities between
objects and events which entirely escape the observation of others in
whom the organ is small. It prompts to reasoning, but not in the line
of necessary consequence. It explains one thing by comparing it with
another. It gives ingenuity in discovering unexpected glimpses and
superficial coincidences.
Predominant.--With Comparison predominant, one will be enabled to
analyze subjects, and to detect inconsistencies with the greatest
facility and readiness, and will almost intuitively perceive the
misapplication of facts and principles. His expressions will be
characterized by great precision and clearness, and his arguments will
be explained with a great variety of happy illustrations.
