Conscientiousness, employs a harsh
mode of showing kindness; with large Comparison and Language, bestows very
severe and galling epithets upon those who rouse it; with large Ideality,
polishes and refines its expression of anger, and puts a keen edge upon
its sarcasms, yet they are none the less cutting or efficient, etc. Such
should avoid and turn from whatever provokes it: p. 82.

VERY LARGE.--Feels the most powerful indignation, amounting even to rage
and violence, when thoroughly provoked; and with large or very large
Combativeness, acts like a chafed lion, and feels like rushing into the
midst of perilous dangers. Such persons should never strike, for they will
strike harder than they mean to, because it nerves the arm with unwonted
strength. This faculty tears up and destroys whatever is in its way; is
harsh and often morose in manner, and should cultivate pleasantness; with
large Combativeness, Firmness, Self-Esteem, and Approbativeness moderate,
is exceedingly repulsive, hating and hateful when angry, and is much more

force; with large intellectual organs, possesses intellectual might and
energy, and thus of its other combinations; but with smaller
Combativeness, is peaceful until thoroughly roused, but then rather harsh
and vindictive; in boys, attacks only those it knows it can conquer, yet
is then harsh; with smaller Self-Esteem, exercises this faculty more in
behalf of others than of itself; with large Cautiousness and moderate
Combativeness, keeps out of danger, broils, etc., till literally compelled
to engage in them, but then becomes desperate, etc.: p. 83.
AVERAGE.--Manifests itself in a similar manner as when full, due allowance
being made for diminished power: p. 82.
MODERATE.--Evinces but little harshness or severity; with large
Benevolence, is unable to witness suffering or death, much less to cause
them; will possess but little force of mind, or executiveness of
character, to drive through great obstacles; with larg
