ge Causality, lays safe plans, and is judicious; with large
Combativeness and Hope, combines judgment with energy and enterprise, and
often seems reckless, yet is prudent; with large intellectual organs and
Firmness, is cautious in coming to conclusions, and canvasses well all
sides of the question, yet, once settled, is unmoved; with small
Self-Esteem, relies too much upon the judgment of others, and too little
upon itself; with large Philoprogenitiveness and disordered nerves,
experiences unnecessary solicitude for children, and takes extra care of
them, etc.: p. 104.
VERY LARGE.--With an excitable nervous system, procrastinates, puts off
till to-morrow what ought to be done to-day; lacks promptness and
decision, and refuses to run any risk; with only average or full
Combativeness, Self-Esteem, and Hope, and large Approbativeness,
accomplishes literally nothing, but should always act under others; with
large Acquisitiveness, prefers small but sure gains to large but more
risky ones, and safe investments to active business. For additional
combinations, see Combativeness large, etc.: p. 105.
FULL.--Shows a good share of prudence and carefulness, except when the
other faculties are powerfully excited; with large Combativeness and very
large Hope, has but little prudence for his energy; is tolerably safe
except when under considerable excitement; with large Acquisitiveness, is
very careful whenever money or property are concerned; yet with only
average Causality, evinces but little general prudence, and lays plans for
the present rather than future, etc.: p. 105.
AVERAGE.--Has a good share of prudence, whenever this faculty works in
connection with the larger organs, yet evinces but little in the direction
of the smaller organs; with large Combativeness and Hope, and an excitable
temperament, is practically imprudent, yet somewhat less so than
appearances indicate; with large Causality, and only average Hope and
Combativeness, and a temperament more strong than excitable, evinces good
general judgment, and meets with but few accidents; but with an excitable
temperament, large Combativeness and Hope and only average or full
Causality, will always be in hot water, fail to mature his plans, begin
before he is ready, and be luckless and unfortunate in every thing, etc.:
p. 103.
MODERATE.--With excitability great, acts upon the spur of the moment,
without due deliberation; meets with many accidents caused by imprudence;
