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

When he walks slowly this jerk is not apparent, but when hurried it is quite noticeable. Is Lost in Chairs The Cerebral gets lost in the same chair that is itself lost under the large, spreading Osseous; and for the same reason. Built for the average, chairs are as much too large for the Cerebral as they are too small for the big bony man. So the Cerebral's legs dangle and his arms don't reach. Dislikes Social Life Though a most sympathetic friend, the Cerebral does not make many friends and does not care for many. He is too abstract to add to the gaiety of social gatherings, for these are based on the enjoyment of the concrete. Enjoys the Intellectuals Readers, thinkers, writers--intellectuals like himself--are the kinds of people the Cerebral enjoys most. Another reason why he has few friends is because these people, being in the great minority, are not easy to find. Ignores the Ignorant People who let others do their thinking for them and those who are not aware of the great things going on in world movements, are not popular with this type. He sometimes has a secret contempt for them and ignores them as completely as they ignore him. Avoids the Limelight Modesty and reserve, almost as marked in the men as in the women, characterize this extreme type. They do things of great moment sometimes--invent something or write something extraordinary--but even then they try to avoid being lionized. They prefer the shadows rather than the spotlight. Thus they miss many of the good things less brainy and more aggressive people gain. But it does no good to explain this to a Cerebral. He enjoys retirement and is constantly missing opportunities because he refuses to "mix."
