In persons of a Lymphatic Temperament, the brain is sluggish and
performs its functions in a feeble but steady manner. The individual
is averse to severe exertion, and requires much stimuli to move him. As
a general rule, he will be averse to either mental or bodily activity.
Those of a Sanguine Temperament are easily excited, and easily
depressed, fond of pleasure, and averse to severe exertions. They live
for the present, rather than the future. The actions of the mind are
quick, rather than powerful.
Persons of a Bilious Temperament are determined, persevering and
ambitious in their character and disposition. Their every movement
and aspect indicates decision of purpose. Their mental operations are
vigorous and powerful.
Persons of a Nervous Temperament, are very sensitive, and are easily
excited. Their mental operations are rapid, but they are soon exhausted.
THE END.
