tentions; means well, yet with
large Combativeness, Destructiveness, Amativeness, etc., may sometimes
yield to these faculties, especially if the system is somewhat inflamed;
with large Acquisitiveness, makes very close bargains, and will take such
advantages as are common in business, yet does not intend to wrong others
out of their just dues, still, has more regard for money than justice;
with large intellectual organs, loves to reason upon subjects where right
and duty are involved, yet too often takes the ground of expediency, and
fails to allow right its due weight; and should never allow conscience to
be in any way weakened, but should cultivate it assiduously: p. 130.

AVERAGE.--When not tempted by stronger faculties does what is about right;
generally justifies itself, and does not feel particularly indignant at
the wrong, or commendatory of the right; with large Approbativeness and
Self-Esteem, may do an honorable thing, yet where honor and right clash,
will choose the former; with only average Combativeness and
Destructiveness, allows many things that are wrong to pass unrebuked, or
even unresented, and shows no great moral indignation or force; with
moderate or small Secretiveness and Acquisitiveness, and large
Approbativeness, Benevolence, and Ideality, will do as nearly right, and
commit as few errors as those with Secretiveness, Acquisitiveness and
Conscientiousness all large, and may be trusted, especially on honor, yet
will rarely feel guilty, and should never be blamed, because
Approbativeness will be mortified before conscience is convicted; with
large propensities, especially Secretiveness and Acquisitiveness, and only
full Benevolence, is selfish; should be dealt with cautiously, and
thoroughly bound in writing, because liable to be slippery, tricky, etc.;
and should cultivate this faculty by never allowing the propensities to
overcome it, and by always considering things in the moral aspect: p. 124.

MODERATE.--Has some regard for duty in feeling, but less in practice;
justifies self; is not very penitent or forgiving; even temporizes with
principle, and sometimes lets interest rule duty. The combinations under
average apply still more forcibly here: p. 131.

SMALL.--Has few conscientious scruples; has little penitence, gratitude,
or regard for moral principle, justice, duty, etc.; and is governed mainly
by his larger faculties; with large propensities and only average
Veneration and Spirituality,
