n that only those who want it badly and work with
efficiency ever get very much of it.

The Cerebral takes so little interest in money that he gets lost in the
shuffle. Not until he wakes up some morning with the poorhouse staring
him in the face does he give it serious consideration. And then he does
not do much about it.

Almost Never Rich

History shows that few people of the pure Cerebral type ever became
rich. Even the most brilliant gave so much more thought to their mission
than the practical ways and means that they were usually seriously
handicapped for the funds necessary to its materialization.

Madame Curie, co-discoverer of radium, said to be the greatest living
woman of this type, is world-famous and has done humanity a noble
service. But her experiments were always carried on against great
disadvantages because she had not the financial means to purchase more
than the most limited quantities of the precious substance.

About Clothes

Clothes are almost the last thing the Cerebral thinks about. As we
have seen, all the other types have decided preferences as to their
clothes--the Alimentive demands comfort, the Thoracic style, the
Muscular durability and the Osseous sameness--but the extreme Cerebral
type says "anything will do." So we often see him with a coat of one
color, trousers of another and a hat of another, with no gloves at all
and his tie missing.

Often Absent-Minded

We have always said people were "absent-minded" when their minds were
absent from what they were doing. This often applies to the Cerebral for
he is capable of greater concentration than other types; also he is so
frequently compelled to do things in which he has no interest that his
mind naturally wanders to the things he cares about.

A Cerebral professor whom we know sometimes appeared before his Harvard
classes in bedroom slippers. A Thoracic would not be likely to let his
own brother catch him in his!

Writes Better than He Talks

The poor talker sometimes surprises us by being a good writer. Such a
one is usually of the Cerebral type.

He likes to think out every phase of a thing and put it into just the
right words before giving it to the world. So, many a Cerebral who does
little talking outside his intimate circle does a good deal of
surreptitious writing. It may be only the keeping of a diary, jotting
down memoranda or writing long letters to his friends, but he will write
something. Some of the w
