are
better than others or who carry the air of superiority.

The only person therefore whom the Muscular is inclined to snub is the
snob. He is not overawed by him and enjoys "taking him down a peg,"
whenever he tries his high and mighty airs on him.

Defends the "Under Dog"

Standing by the under dog is a kind of religion with this type. He
glories in fighting for the downtrodden. This explains why he is so
often a radical. Much of this vehemence in radicalism is due to the fact
that he feels he is getting even with the snobs of the world--the
plutocrats--when he furthers the causes of the proletariat.

Often on the Warpath

To "have it out" with you is the first inclination of this type when
he becomes angry.

He is apt to say atrocious things and to exaggerate his grievances.
Everything must yield to his "dander" once it is up. Being possessed of
a highly developed fighting equipment, he is like a battleship, with
every gun in place, most of the time.

He is frequently in violent quarrels with his friends, and since he does
not recover from his anger quickly like the Thoracic, he often loses
them for life.

The Most Generous Friend

When they like you the Musculars are the most abandoned in their
generosity of all the types. They "go the limit" for you, as the
Westerner says, and they go it with their money, time, love and
enthusiasm.

All types do this for short periods occasionally and for a very few
choice friends. But the Muscular often does it for people he scarcely
knows if they strike his fancy or appeal to him.

His heart and his home belong to the stranger almost as completely as to
his family, for he does not feel a stranger to any one. He feels from
the first moment, and acts, as though he had known you always.

This accounts for his democracy, for his success as an orator,
and--sometimes for his being "broke."

Not a Quick Forgiver

But disappoint him in anything he considers vital and he does not
overlook it easily. He finds it especially difficult to forgive people
who take advantage of the generosity he so lavishly extends. But he does
not make his hate a life-long one, as the fourth type does.

With all his own giving to others he seldom takes much from others.

The Naturally Independent

"Standing on his own legs" is a well-known trait of the Muscular.
Dependence is bred of necessity. This type being able to get for himself
most of the things he wants, rarely finds it
