ers. The result is that he is what is called "more
particular" about his person than are other types. The fat man often
wears an old pair of shoes long past their usefulness, but the florid
man thinks more of the impression he creates than of his own personal
comfort, and will wear the shiniest of patent leathers on the hottest
day if they are the best match for his suit.

Likes All Music

Every kind of music is enjoyed by the pure Thoracic because he
experiences so many moods.

Entertainment He Prefers

Social affairs of an exclusive order where he wears his "best bib and
tucker" and everybody else does the same, are amongst the favorite
diversions of this type. He makes a favorable impression under such
conditions and is well aware of it.

Other reasons for this preference are his brilliant conversational
powers, his charm and his enjoyment of other people and their
view-points. The Thoracic is also exceedingly fond of dancing.

Enjoys Vaudeville

The average Thoracic enjoys vaudeville, Follies, revues, etc., because

type, certain kinds of movies, but he constitutes no such percentage of
the movie-going audience as some other types.

the favorites of this type. Detective stories are often in high favor
with him also.

Physical Assets

The physical advantages of this type are his quick energy--based on
his wonderful breathing system--and the rich, rapid-flowing blood,
produced by his wonderful heart system.

He is noted for his ability to get "his second wind" and has remarkable
capacity for rising to sudden physical emergencies.

Physical Liabilities

A tendency to over-excitement and the consequent running down of his
batteries is a physical pitfall often fatal to this type.

Favorite Sports

Hurdling, sprinting, tennis and all sports requiring short, intense
spurts of energy are the ones in which this type excels.

Social Assets

Charm and responsiveness are the chief social assets of the Thoracic.
Inasmuch as these are the most valuable of all social traits, he has a
better natural start in human relationships than any other type.

Social Liabilities

Quick temper, his inflammable nature and appearances of vanity are his
greatest social liabilities. They stand between him and success many
times. He must learn to control them if
