fulness and his capacity for
finishing what he starts are the strongest points of this type.

His Weakest Points

Stubbornness, obstinacy, slowness, over-cautiousness, coldness and a
tendency to stinginess are the weakest links in people of the extreme
Osseous type.

How to Deal with this Type Socially

There is little to be done with the Osseous when you meet him socially
except to let him do what he wants to do.

Don't interfere with him if you want him to like you.

How to Deal with this Type in Business

As an employee, give him responsibility and then let him alone to do
it his way.

Then keep your hands off.

Don't give him constant advice; don't try to drive him.

Let him be as systematic as he likes.

When dealing with him in other business ways rely on him and let him
know you admire his dependability.

_Remember, the distinguishing marks of the Osseous, in the order of
their importance, are PROPORTIONATELY LARGE BONES FOR THE BODY,
PROMINENT JOINTS and A LONG FACE. Any person who has these is largely of
the Osseous type no matter what other types may be included in his
makeup._

The Cerebral Type

"The Thinker"

All those in whom the nervous system is more highly developed than any
other are Cerebrals.

This system consists of the brain and nerves. The name comes from the
cerebrum or thinking part of the brain.

Meditation, imagining, dreaming, visualizing and all voluntary mental
processes take place in the cerebrum, or brain, as we shall hereinafter
call it. The brain is the headquarters of the nervous system--its "home
office"--just as the stomach is the home office of the Alimentive system
and the heart and lungs the home office of the Thoracic.

Your Freight System

The Thoracic system may be compared to a great freight system, with
each of its tributaries--from the main trunk arteries down to the
tiniest blood vessels--starting from the heart and carrying its cargo of
blood to every part of the body by means of the power furnished by the
lungs.

Your Telegraph System

But the nervous system is more like an intricate telegraph system. Its
network of nerves runs from every outlying point of the body into the
great headquarters of the brain, carrying sense messages notifying us of
everything heard, seen, touched, tasted or smelled.

As soon as the brain receives a message from any of the five senses it
decides what to do about it and if action is
