by disproportion; and is necessary to artisans, mechanics, all kinds of dealers, students, etc.: p. 190. VERY LARGE.--Possesses this capability in an extraordinary degree, and is pained in the extreme by the sight of disproportion; can tell how wide, how far, how long, how much, etc., with very great accuracy; detects at once the texture and quality or fineness or coarseness of goods, and excels in judgment of property where bulk and value are to be estimated by the eye, and can dispense with instruments in measuring: p. 191. FULL.--Possesses a good share of this eye-measuring power, yet is not remarkable; with practice, does well; without it, rather poorly; and does well in its accustomed business: p. 191. AVERAGE.--Has a fair eye for judging of bulk, weight, by the size, etc., and with practice would do tolerably well in this respect: p. 190. MODERATE.--Measures by the eye rather inaccurately, and has poor judgment of bulk, quantity, distance, and whatever is estimated by this faculty: p. 191. SMALL.--Is obliged always to rely on actual measurements, because the eye is too imperfect to be trusted: p. 191. VERY SMALL.--Is almost destitute of this faculty: p. 192. 27. WEIGHT. Intuitive perception and application of the laws of GRAVITY, MOTION, etc. Adapted to man's requisition for motion. Perverted, it runs imminent risk of falling. LARGE.--Has an excellent faculty for preserving and regaining balance; riding a fractious horse; skating; carrying a steady hand, etc.; easily keeps from falling when aloft, or in dangerous places; throws a stone, ball, or arrow straight; is pained at seeing things out of plumb; judges of perpendiculars very exactly; loves to climb, walk on the edge of a precipice, etc.; with Form and Size large, is an excellent marksman; with Constructiveness large, possesses an excellent faculty for understanding and working machinery; with Approbativeness large, is venturesome etc., to show what risks it can run without falling: p. 193. VERY LARGE.--Possesses these capabilities in an extraordinary degree; is a dead shot; rarely ever falls, or is thrown from a horse: p. 194. FULL.--Has a good degree of this faculty, and with practice excels, yet without it is not remarkable: p. 194. AVERAGE.--Like full, only less gifted in this respect; with only average Constructiveness and perceptives, should never engage in working machinery, because deficient in this talent: p. 192. MODERA
