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.

The Most Practical Type

"The Practicalist" is often used to describe this type. He is inclined
to look at everything from the standpoint of its practicality and is
neither stingy nor extravagant.

He Likes What Works

"Will it work?" is the question this type puts to everything. If it
won't, though it be the most fascinating or the most diverting thing in
the world, he will take little interest in it.

This type depends mostly upon his own hands and head to make his fortune
for him, and is seldom lured into risking money on things he has not
seen.

The Natural Efficiency Expert

The shortest, surest way is the one this type likes. He is not
inclined to fussiness. He insists on things being done in the most
efficient way and he usually does them that way himself. He is not an
easy man to work for, but quick to reward merit. The Muscular does not
necessarily demand money nor the things that money buys but he tries to
get the workable out of life.

The Property Owner

This type likes to have a fair bank account and to give his children a
worth while training. He is less inclined to bedeck them with frills but
he will plan years ahead for their education.

These are not rigid parents like the fourth type, lenient like the
Alimentives, nor temperamental with their children like the Thoracics,
but practical and very efficient in their parenthood. They are very fond
of their children but do not "spoil" them as often as some of the other
types do.

They bring up their children to work and teach them early in life how to
do things. As a result, the children of this type become useful at an
early age and usually know how to earn a living if necessary.

Wants the Necessities

The necessities of life are things this type demands and gets. Whereas
the Alimentive demands the comforts and the Thoracic the unusual, the
Muscular demands the essentials. He is willing to work for them, so he
usually succeeds.

He is not given to rating frills and fripperies as necessities but
demands the things everyday men or women need for everyday existence.
Naturally he goes after
