Large.--One having Adhesiveness large, is eminently social and
affectionate. With large Moral organs, will make great sacrifices
to render his friends service, and will esteem the pleasures of
friendship as one of the chief sources of enjoyment. With Combativeness
and Destructiveness large, and Self-esteem moderate, will resent an
aggression upon a friend which he would not notice upon himself. If
Self-esteem is large, with Combativeness and Destructiveness large,
he will easily get angry with his friends, but will be readily
conciliated. With Benevolence and Love of Approbation large, is
exceedingly liberal and forward among friends; will do his utmost
to please and gratify them; earnestly desire their approbation; and
will be exceedingly sensitive to their reproaches. With Firmness and
Conscientiousness small, will be capricious in his attachments. With
Secretiveness and Self-esteem large, he will not fully express the
feelings which he experiences, and will thus leave the impression that
his affection is less than it really is.
Moderate.--One having Adhesiveness moderate, may be strongly attached
to friends, but his friendships will be readily severed. He may
be companionable, and with large Benevolence will be generous and
good-hearted, but he will still lack that strong feeling of sympathy
without which friendship is but a name.
Small.--With Adhesiveness small, an individual will be unsocial,
cold-hearted and selfish. If his moral organs predominate over
self-esteem, he may be companionable, but he will be nearly wanting in
the attributes of character ascribed to this organ.
4. INHABITIVENESS.
This organ produces home-sickness, and causes a feeling of regret to
take possession of the mind when leaving a place in which one has long
resided. It is the first element of patriotism. It produces a desire to
locate and reside in a particular place, and adds much to the strength
of family attachments.
Predominant.--One in whom Inhabitiveness predominates, is pre-eminently
attached to any place with which he has become familiar. It causes him
much pain to leave it, and he returns to it with eagerness.
