chair that is itself lost under the
large, spreading Osseous; and for the same reason. Built for the
average, chairs are as much too large for the Cerebral as they are too
small for the big bony man. So the Cerebral's legs dangle and his arms
don't reach.

Dislikes Social Life

Though a most sympathetic friend, the Cerebral does not make many
friends and does not care for many. He is too abstract to add to the
gaiety of social gatherings, for these are based on the enjoyment of the
concrete.

Enjoys the Intellectuals

Readers, thinkers, writers--intellectuals like himself--are the kinds
of people the Cerebral enjoys most.

Another reason why he has few friends is because these people, being in
the great minority, are not easy to find.

Ignores the Ignorant

People who let others do their thinking for them and those who are not
aware of the great things going on in world movements, are not popular
with this type. He sometimes has a secret contempt for them and ignores
them as completely as they ignore him.

Avoids the Limelight

Modesty and reserve, almost as marked in the men as in the women,
characterize this extreme type. They do things of great moment
sometimes--invent something or write something extraordinary--but even
then they try to avoid being lionized.

They prefer the shadows rather than the spotlight. Thus they miss many
of the good things less brainy and more aggressive people gain. But it
does no good to explain this to a Cerebral. He enjoys retirement and is
constantly missing opportunities because he refuses to "mix."

Cares Little for Money

Friends mean something to the Cerebral, fame sometimes means much but
money means little. In this he is the exact opposite of the Osseous, to
whom the pecuniary advantages or disadvantages of a thing are always
significant.

The pure Cerebral finds it difficult to interest himself in his
finances. He seldom counts his change. He will go away from his room
leaving every cent he owns lying on the dresser--and then forget to lock
the door!

This type of person almost never asks for a raise. He is too busy
dreaming dreams to plan what he will do in his old age. He prefers
staying at the same job with congenial associates to finding another
even if it paid more.

Very Often Poor

Since we get only what we go after in this world, it follows that the
Cerebral is often poor. To make money one must want money. Competition
for it is so kee
