Remember, the chief distinguishing
marks of the Cerebral, in the order
of their importance, are the HIGH
FOREHEAD and a PROPORTION
ATELY LARGE HEAD FOR THE
BODY. Any person who has these
is largely of the Cerebral type no
matter what other types may be
included in his makeup.





To Understand Combinations

etermine which type PREDOMINATES in a subject.

If there is any doubt in your mind about this do these four things:



1st. Note the body build?which one of the five body types (as shown in Charts 1, 3, 5, 7, 9) does he most resemble? (In doing this it will aid you if you will note whether fat, bone or muscle predominates in his bodily structure.)

2nd. Decide which of the five typical faces his face most resembles.

3rd. Decide which of the five typical hands his hands most resemble.

4th. If still undecided, note his voice, gestures and movements and they will leave no doubt in your mind as to which of these types comes first and which second.

Having decided which type predominates and which is second in him, the significance of this combination is made clear to you by the following law:

Law of Combination

¶ The type PREDOMINATING in a person determines WHAT he does throughout his life?the NATURE of his main activities.

The type which comes second in development will determine the WAY he does things?the METHODS he will follow in doing what his predominant type signifies.

The third element, if noticeable, merely "flavors" his personality.

Thus, a Cerebral-Muscular-Alimentive does MENTAL things predominantly throughout his life, but in a more MUSCULAR way than if he were an extreme Cerebral. The Alimentive element, being third down the list, will tend to make him eat and assimilate more food than he otherwise would.








CHAPTER VI

Types That Should
and Should Not Marry
Each Other

am so sorry to hear the Browns are being divorced. I have known George and Mary for years and they are as fine a man and woman as I ever saw. But they just don't seem able to get along together."

How many times you have heard something like this. And the speaker got nearer the truth than he knew. For the Georges and Marys everywhere are, on the whole, fine men and women.

Married to the Wrong One

¶ Each one is all right in himself, but merely married to the wrong person?a fact we have recognized when both George and Mary made successes of their second ventures and lived happily ever after.
