The Illustrated Self-Instructor in Phrenology and Physiology
Fowler, O. S. (Orson Squire)
Phrenology
LARGE.--Has a desire to conduct business on methodical principles, and to
be systematic in every thing; with large Acquisitiveness and Causality,
has good business talents; with large Locality, has a place for every
thing, and every thing in its place; with large Time, has a time for every
thing, and every thing in season; with large Continuity, Comparison, and
the mental temperament, has every idea, paragraph, and head of a subject
in its proper place; with large Constructiveness, has its tools where it
can always lay hands upon them in the dark; with large Combativeness, is
excessively vexed by disarrangement; with large Language, places every
word exactly right in the sentence; with large Approbativeness, is
inclined to conform to established usages; with large Size, must have
every thing in rows, or straight; and with large Ideality must have every
thing neat and nice as well as methodical, etc.: p. 199.
VERY LARGE.--Is very particular about order, even to old maidishness;
works far beyond strength to have things just so; and with large Ideality,
and an active temperament, and only fair Vitality, is liable to break down
health and constitution by overworking in order to have things extra nice,
and takes more pains to keep things in order than this order is worth;
with large Ideality, is fastidious about personal appearance, and extra
particular to have every little thing very nice; and with Acquisitiveness
added, cannot bear to have garments soiled, and is pained in the extreme
by grease spots, ink blots, and like deformities: p. 199.
FULL.--If educated to business habits, evinces a good degree of method,
and disposition to systematize, but without practice, may sometimes show
laxity; with a powerful mentality, but weaker muscles, likes to have
things in order, yet does not always keep them so; with large Causality
added, shows more mental than physical order; with large moral organs,
likes to have religious matters, codes of discipline, etc., rigidly
observed, and has more moral than personal method; with Acquisitiveness
and perceptives large, is sufficiently methodical for all practical
business purposes, yet not extra particular: p. 200.
AVERAGE.--Likes order, yet may not always keep it, and desires more than
it practically secures: p. 198.
MODERATE.--Is very apt to leave things where they were last used, and
lacks method; with Ideality moderate, lacks personal neatness, and should
cultivate this desirable element by being more particular: p. 201.
SMALL.--Has a very careless, inaccurate way of doing every thing; leaves
things where it happens; can never find what is wanted; takes a long time
to get ready, or else goes unprepared, and has every thing in perpetual
confusion: p. 201.
VERY SMALL.--Is almost wholly destitute of this arranging power and
desire: p. 201.
