for them; with small Secretiveness, and with activity greater than
power, is liable to overdo, and takes so much work upon itself in order to
save, as often to incur sickness, and thus loses more than gains; with
large Approbativeness and small Secretiveness, tells how much property it
possesses, but with large Secretiveness, keeps its own pecuniary affairs
to itself; with large Constructiveness, inclines to make money by engaging

tormented by whatever mars beauty; with large intellectual organs, loves
to accumulate books, and whatever facilitates intellectual progress; with
