ng dealing with these everyday commonplace affairs with
which he is most familiar.

He frequently goes to serious lectures--something the pure Alimentive
always avoids--and he especially enjoys them if they deal with the
problem of the here and now.

He cares little for comic opera, vaudeville or revues because he feels
they serve no practical purpose and get him nowhere. This type does not
attend the theater merely to be amused. He goes for light on his
everyday experiences and usually considers time wasted that is spent
solely on entertainment.

Music He Likes

Band music, stirring tunes and all music with "go" to it appeals to
this type.

Reading

True stories, news and the sport page are the favorite newspaper
reading of the Muscular. He does not take to sentimental stories so much
as the Alimentive, nor to adventure so much as the Thoracic but sticks
to practical subjects almost exclusively.

Being active most of his waking hours, and strenuously active at that,
the Muscular is often too tired at night to read anything.

His Favorite Sports

The most violent sports are popular with this type. Football,
baseball, handball, tennis, rowing and pugilism are his preferences. All

He is capable of endless effort, does not tire easily, and because of
his directness makes his work count to the utmost of his mental
capacity.

Physical Liabilities

A tendency to overwork is the chief physical pitfall of this type. The
disease to which he is most susceptible is rheumatism. But owing to his
love of activity he exercises more than any other type and thus
forestalls many diseases.

Social Assets

His generosity is the strongest social asset of the Muscular. He is
usually straightforward and sincere and thereby gains the confidence of
those who meet him.

Social Liabilities

His loud voice and his plain ways are the disadvantages under which
this type labors in social intercourse. He needs polishing and is not
inclined to take it. His pugnacity is also a severe drawback.

Emotional Assets

Understanding, enthusiasm and warmth of heart are the emotional
qualities which hel
