minal may belong to any type, the cleverest
crooks--those who defy detection for years--always have a large element
of the Cerebral in their makeup.

Big Brains in Little Jobs

There are two kinds of work in the world--head work and hand work;
mental and manual. If you can star in either, life guarantees you a good
living. But if you are good at neither you are doomed to dependence.
The Cerebral's physical frailty unfits him for the manual and unless he
is school-or self-educated he becomes the sorriest of all human misfits.
He falls between the two and leads a precarious existence working in the
lighter indoor positions requiring the least mentality. If you will keep
your eyes open you will many times note that the little waiter in the
high class restaurant or hotel has a head very large for his body. Such
men are much better read, have a far greater appreciation of art and
literature and more natural refinement than the porky patrons they
serve.

Social Assets

A fine sense of the rights of others and natural modesty and
refinement are the chief social assets of this type.

Social Liabilities

Lack of self-expression, too great reserve and too much abstractness
in conversation are the things that handicap the Cerebral. His small
stature and timid air also add to his appearance of insignificance and
cause him to be overlooked at social affairs.

Emotional Assets

Sympathy, gentleness and self-sacrifice are other assets of this type.

Emotional Liabilities

A tendency to nervous excitement and to a lack of balance are the
chief emotional handicaps of this type.

Business Assets

This type has no traits which can properly be called business assets.
He dislikes business, is repelled by its standards and has no place in
any of its purely commercial branches.

Business Liabilities

His inability to "keep his feet on the ground," and his tendency to
"live in the clouds" and to be generally impractical unfit this type for
business life.

Domestic Strength

Tenderness, consideration and idealism are the chief domestic assets
of the Cerebral type.

Domestic Weakness

Inability to provide for his family, incapacity for making the money
necessary to meet their needs, and his tendency to spend the little he
does have on impossible schemes, are what wreck the domestic life of
many splendid Cerebral men. Her inability to make one dollar do the work
of two is a serious handicap to the Cereb
