How to analyze people on sight through the science of human analysis the five human types

Elsie Lincoln Benedict Ralph Paine Benedict100

When a person of this type does take great pains with his clothes it is always for a purpose, and not because he enjoys preening himself. There is little of the peacock in the Muscular. A Simple Soul Musculars are the most democratic of all the types. The Thoracic is a natural aristocrat, and enjoys the feeling of a little innocent superiority. But Musculars often refuse to take advantage of superior positions gained through wealth or station, and are inclined to treat everybody as an equal. It is almost impossible for this type, even though he may have become or have been born a millionaire, to "lord it over" servants or subordinates. He is given to backing democratic movements of all kinds. This explains why Musculars constitute the large majority in every radical group. Humanness His Hobby Being "human" is an ideal to which this type adheres with almost religious zeal. He likes the commonplace things and is never a follower after "the thing" though he has no prejudices against it, as the fourth type has. An Everyday Individual The Muscular does not care for "show" and, except when essential to the success of his aims, seldom does anything for "appearances." He is not an easy-going companion like the Alimentive nor a scintillating one like the Thoracic, but an everyday sort of person. When in Trouble This type is not given to sliding out of difficulties like the Alimentive nor to being temporarily submerged by them like the Thoracic. He "stands up to them" and backs them down. When in trouble he acts, instead of merely thinking.
