lity, can possibly be turned by potent reasons,
yet by nothing else: p. 120.
FULL.--Like Firmness large, shows a great degree of decision, when this
faculty works with large organs, but not otherwise; with Combativeness and
Conscientiousness large, shows great Fixedness where right and truth are
concerned, yet with Acquisitiveness moderate, lacks perseverance in money
matters; with moderate Combativeness and Self-Esteem, is easily turned;
and with large Adhesiveness and Benevolence, too easily persuaded, even
against its better judgment; with Cautiousness and Approbativeness large,
or very large, often evinces fickleness, irresolution, and
procrastination; and with an uneven head, and an excitable temperament,
often appears deficient in this faculty: p. 131.
AVERAGE.--When supported by large Combativeness, or Conscientiousness, or
Causality, or Acquisitiveness, etc., shows a good degree of this faculty;
but when opposed by large Cautiousness, Approbativeness, or Adhesiveness,
evinces its deficiency, and has not enough of this faculty for great
undertakings: p. 119.
MODERATE.--Rather lacks perseverance, even when his larger faculties
support it, and when they do not, evinces fickleness, irresolution,
indecision, and lacks perseverance; with Adhesiveness large, is too easily
persuaded and influenced by friends; with large Cautiousness and
Approbativeness and moderate or small Self-Esteem, is flexible and fickle,

SMALL.--With activity great, and the head uneven, is fitful, impulsive,
and, like the weather-vane, shifts with every changing breeze, and is
ruled by the other faculties; and as unstable as water: p. 122.
VERY SMALL.--Is changed by the slightest motives; is a perfect creature of
circumstances, and accomplishes nothing requiring perseverance: p. 122.
