THE WONDER-FEAR TYPE Curiosity—Caution

The wonder-fear drive is primarily the drive of interpretation, the drive to discover meaning in all areas of life. It is modified by fear, foresight, caution, and sense perception. This tends to drive the wonder deeper. Unlike the wonder-rage type, whose drive is horizontal and wide, the drive of wonder-fear is vertical and deep.

The reason why this is so is that the curiosity is held back by the caution from seeing the broad sweep of the scene. The fear makes the curiosity concentrate on what it is looking at until it has exhausted all the possibilities.

In wonder-rage, the rage drives the curiosity on to ever new fields. In wonder-fear, on the other hand, the fear cautions the wonder to get to the bottom of the situation before it turns away its attention.

So we have, in the wonder-fear type, the true scientist in the best sense of the term, the scientist in every area of life. And the main tendency of the nature is toward an interest in human relations.

Their special genius, their constant, unremitting desire, is to help the underdog, to further amicable race relations, to work for religious free-dom, freedom of colour, government for the people. The women of the type make felicitous hostesses, always knowing instinctively whom to bring together socially.

Wherever the type is, it is always smoothing the rough edges of human relations and helping people to like and understand each other. They are singularly human and sympathetic creatures.

In the field of thought, they interpret and discriminate with much subtlety. Their cautious curiosity is a great asset in dealing with human beings. It gives them judgment and an intuitive vision. They know what to say and when to say it.

Einstein was of this type. Everyone realizes the depth of the man's mind. And everyone knows that he was basically interested in physics, mathematics and pure science. In this field he was a supreme thinker.

But the humanitarian side of the type also made its appearance in Ein-stein. He was more than a pure thinker or a pure dreamer. He was deeply interested in the social aspects of man's life. He gave much thought to the present and future aspects of man's world.

He was always the scientist. He never made a statement without weighing it thoroughly. In the way he went into action, he was deliberative, which is characteristic of the type. He waited until all the evidence was in before he advanced a judgment.

This type gets its stimulation from its own stream of consciousness, and Einstein was no exception. He loved having time to himself, when he could commune with his own thoughts. Here is how he expresses this characteristic:”I live in that solitude that is painful in youth, but delicious in years of maturity/’

His democratic quality is shown in this talk on the Negro question. You see here the humanitarian nature coming to the fore. ‘There is, however, a sombre point in the outlook of Americans.

Their sense of equality, of human dignity, is mainly limited to those of white skins. Even among these there are prejudices of which I, as a Jew, am clearly conscious; but they are unimportant in comparison with the attitude of the ‘Whites* toward their fellow-citizens of darker complexion, particularly toward Negroes.

The more I feel an American, the more the situ-ation pains me. I can escape the feeling of complicity in it only by speaking out.”

The great man was deeply interested in human welfare. This is what made him a champion of World Federation as the only means he was able to see for the preservation of the race of man to keep it from exterminating itself through anger and the atomic bomb.

This type produces visionaries who may not be too practical, but nevertheless have their attention fixed on the future safety of the race. Another characteristic is that they don't pay too much attention to the customs and traditions of the day and age.

By nature they are pattern-breakers, and attack with vigour what they consider out-mode ideas, customs and manners. Yet even in revolt they are able to retain their mild and gentle natures.

Being a deep type, they are often very subjective. They are interested in principles rather than facts. Some action against a principle they love will fire them to action. They are kind and tender, and often have a flair for the drama-tic. They are peace-loving idealists.

The real scientist must be cautious. That is Q.E.D. For anyone can see that an impetuous person, coming to quick conclusions before he had proved his thesis, is no scientist at all. That is why wonder-fear makes the great scientist.

His caution is continually telling his wonder, “You'd better work hard on this idea, get to the bottom of it before you try anything else.”

The two wise men of Concord, Massachusetts, were both of this type. Emerson was the scientist in the realm of the spirit. Thoreau was the scientist in the realm of nature. There were no trees, animals, birds, or insects that his omnivorous eye did not recognize and pay attention to.

Emerson was what might be called a scientific optimist. He knew the world and the savagery of men. His fear made him cautious in his optimism. He was just as scientific as Einstein, but his attention was not so much on the race of man as upon man's soul.

After examining carefully the raw material of the soul, he came at last to the scientific conclusion that man is basically good, not evil. It was a close race man ran with his soul, but the soul wins out as the criterion of man.

Listen to what he says: “Every man is a divinity in disguise, a god playing the fool. It seems as if heaven had sent its insane angels into our world as to an asylum, and here they will break out into their native music and utter at intervals the words they have heard in heaven; then the mad fit returns, and they mope and wallow like dogs.” There is the scientist of the soul speaking.

Then the optimist in him speaks: “God is here and now, or nowhere and never.” That is the prose of a great man, who is a deep thinker, a mind probing into the secrets of the soul. This is the flash of intuition, the tapping of the stream of consciousness. Emerson is full of these brilliant flashes of cosmic wisdom, like a sudden flash of lightning in the sky.

In his case, the humanitarian characteristic of the type is at its highest intensity. He seeks, and helps men to realize, their essential qualities. Nothing less than the study of the soul itself satisfies him.

His friend Thoreau was different. He was more socially conscious. His article on Civil Disobedience was a tremendous influence on Gandhi, and prompted him to use the methods he did in freeing India.

He was the man who refused to pay his poll tax and was put in jail. When Emerson came to see him and asked, “Henry, why are you here?”

Thoreau's reply was, “Why are you not?”

Thoreau has had a great influence on thinking in America. He appeals to the intellectual critics of the social scene.

Walden was a pioneering work, a satire on the false values of the New England countryside. In it was a critique, biting and still pertinent, of the average man. Thoreau said that he manufactures extraordinary loads of paraphernalia for himself, and then carries this enormous load on his bent back for the rest of his life.

This is how the pithy social comment reads: “I see young men, my townsmen, whose misfortune it is to have inherited farms, houses, barns, cattle and farming tools; for these are more easily acquired than got rid of.

They have got to live a man's life, pushing all these things before them, and get on as well as they can. How many a poor immortal soul have I met, well-nigh crushed and smothered under its load, creeping down the road of life, pushing before it a barn seventy-five by forty, and so forth.”

You can see that Thoreau belongs to the pattern-break-ers. He had a vision of life that he wanted to give to others. He believed that many so-called luxuries of life were real hindrances to a man's development.

He said that the wisest of men have always lived in the simplest fashion. This is true, but it is not a truth that the world desires to know.

Coupled with his social satire, was the scientific poet-naturalist, describing the river, the phases of nature, the flora and fauna of his loved region.

To recapitulate, the wonder-fear is the great human relational type. Practically every one of them is felicitous in his relations with other people. They are always for the underdog, and in the forefront of every effort to bring peace and fair play into human relationships.

I adjust is the phrase descriptive of this type. We find that Wordsworth, Yeats and Robert Louis Stevenson are in this grouping.

THE WONDER-SEX TYPE Curiosity—Creativity

The accent of the wander-sex type is artistic. The wonder or interpretive drive is modified by sex or creativity. So the creativity drives on the curiosity. The result of this is that the creative urge enters the interpretation, so whatever is seen is examined creatively.

This means a constant interest in new ways of interpretation. This is not the explorer or the scientist, but the architect, who builds for beauty or use in all areas of life.

This makes for a very beautiful nature. Love is behind the curiosity, so the type never shows any but harmonious reactions. It has great perception, amazing adaptability, and a sympathy that makes for lasting and deep personal relations.

As mates, the type is felicitous. The guiding principle of both men and women can be said to be, “Whither thou goest, I will go.”

The type almost always has good taste, and in some cases it is exquisite. Their sense of harmony demands that they have peace around them at all times. They suffer a lapse in conduct of another with good grace. You will find that even if you have been difficult, they are still ready to cooperate with you.

Their will is imperative, which means that they are quick to make up their minds and quick to tell you their reactions on any matter. You can, however, disagree with them and they will take your views amicably.

The love driving the wonder makes them think of the other person with nurture, and always want to arrive at a state of agreement. There is nothing they hate so much as alter-cation, for deep within them is an intense desire for harmony, rhythm and balance. This is what gives them their aesthetic drive.

They cannot stand injustice of any kind, either to them-selves or to others. They lean over backwards to defend someone whom they believe to be unjustly treated or ac-cused.

They do not jump into the world scene as quickly as the wonder-fear types, but in matters of individual justice none are their equals.

Woodrow Wilson was of this type. Of course he was a world figure of heroic proportions. When he was presi-dent of Princeton, he developed many plans for the betterment of education there. Among these was the preceptor system, which has now been adopted by other colleges.

He considered the club system at Princeton undemocratic. One of his plans was to substitute for it the Quad system, such as is followed at Oxford. This project developed into a great battle, for the old grads liked the clubs.

One night Wilson accepted an invitation to dinner at one of the clubs. A former president of the university, Dr. Patton, who was quite a wit, was also to speak.

He was the first speaker, and attacked Wilson's Quad proposal, making many clever Bible quotations to prove his points. He was roundly applauded. The club members wondered what Wilson could possibly say in reply.

Well, he was more than equal to the occasion. He countered all Patton’s arguments with very apt Bible phrases. It was such a spontaneous tour de force that when he finished the club members were on their feet cheering him.

He always dressed with great care. In this he showed his sense of harmony, rhythm, and balance so character-istic of the type. But what made his mind really come alive was the principle of harmony, rhythm, and balance in human society.

The freedom of the slave, the political and economic slave, the brotherhood of man, all men living together in harmony on this planet—this to him was beauty. All his love went into it. No man in history ever fought more passionately for human welfare than this great figure.

He was one of the greatest speakers of all time. After he had been governor of New Jersey for a short time, and had wrestled with the dirty politics of the bosses, his smooth academic speech found the feeling it had lacked.

And ever after, his deep feeling and his creative words made his speeches the equal of those of any public man this country has produced.

He was completely convincing. First, all knew that he believed passionately in what he was saying. He wrote most of his own speeches. Then everyone knew that he was a loving and wise man. The result was that he became first the voice of America, then the voice of the whole world.

His mind was quick and imperative. This made him come to conclusions more rapidly than some approved of. And his imperative will gave him some trouble in human relations. He was usually sure he was right.

This is il-lustrated by what he said about statesmanship. “Examine every problem carefully, make up your mind, and turn the key.” The type has a one-track mind, and so did Wilson. His attention, once given to a subject, saw nothing else around that centre.

To him, his ideas were so obviously for human welfare that he could never understand why he got so much opposition.

He was an outstanding example of the sureness and quickness of the type. He was utterly convinced that the League of Nations was the next step for the world to take. He believed that it would solve the problems of nationalism, and competition between nations.

There are not too many of this type who are tough enough to stand the gaff of the world stage. Wilson him-self, when the going got rough, succumbed to a stroke and literally gave his life for his dream. The ordeal through which the Senate put him undoubtedly caused his breakdown.

His single-track mind refused to compromise with Lodge and the Senate leaders. He lost his great fight for humanity but he made an inestimable gift to the world. He turned the attention of all men to his great plan, in which he believed freedom for all men lay.

He got great criticism for saying that “America is too proud to fight/’ But in this creative phrase, which is now accepted by all thinking men, he put the epitome of his type's desire. All sense, all harmony, rhythm, and balance, are lost when men begin to fight.

Because both wonder and sex are subjective, and receive their stimulation from their stream of consciousness, the type is not usually as well-oriented to the facts and objects and circumstances of ordinary life as are the other two wonder types. But give them ideas and principles to work on, and they come alive immediately.

The painter Whistler was a man of this type, sensitive and subtle. There is a mystic, inner stream-of-conscious-ness quality about his Battersea Bridge that makes it great. Beautifully placed on the canvas, it has a great sense of balance, space, light, and proportion which add to the symmetry of the design.

Then in his famous picture of his mother, we see again the same occult balance and sensitive placing of the figure. It is the idealized picture of all mothers, delicate, shrouded in a mystic feeling-tone. If a mother-complex is ever a good thing, it was in this case.

People of this type make good lawyers, because they love to argue. They love to balance judgments. Each is usually sure that he is right and the other man wrong, a necessary state of mind for a lawyer. But they see both sides of a question, and would never take a side in which they did not believe.

With the accent of the type on beauty and artistic sensitivity, it finds happiness in careers that give those quali-ties a chance for expression. They are successful in the dance, drama, moving pictures, television, writing, architecture, sculpture, interior decorating, landscape garden-ing, jewellery, costume design, and so forth.

This type is creative as well as interpretive. It is not so deeply or generally interested in human affairs as in beauty. In human relations, it is best in the intimate union of marriage, or with a few friends. It hasn't generally the great social urge of wonder-fear.

But this type is the builder of beauty everywhere. A gentle, peaceful nature of much inner beauty, it seeks for the harmony of order everywhere. The Greeks recognized that the internal beauty extended to the external beauty.

Their statue of Apollo Belvedere has taken this type as its model. I balance is the phrase used to describe the type. Daudet, Isadora Duncan, Thomas Hardy, and Mme. Recamier were wonder-sex types.

THE RAGE DRIVE Constructive—Mechanical—Executive

Your mind is the powerhouse of your organism. In it your emotions and thoughts originate in conscious-ness. You are a combination of feeling and thought united. The power is always the emotion. The way it goes into action is the thought.

We take up here the emotion of rage, the constructive or mechanical sense. Rage is basically the desire to change things. It is an emotion that wants to get out and build, to affect its environment in some active way.

It desires to work with the actual wood or metal, or paper or cloth. Rage will take the blueprint of a machine, for instance. It will immediately go to work to find the material for the finished product. Then it will prepare and fit the parts and build the actual machine.

Rage is an emotion of action, not so much of thought and feeling as the creative and interpretive drives are. It is interested in the object and the fact, the material things to be used.

It is strong on method and procedure, or how to get the blueprint or design into concrete form. It weighs the material, judges the speed, and estimates the actual time and space. It handles all aspects of the objective, physical world of three dimensions in which we live.

Also the constructive drive is interested in order. What intelligence does is to establish order where there was chaos before. This is the active intent of the rage drive. It grows our food for us, builds our houses, roads, bridges, airplanes, automobiles, radios, television. It constructs all the many varied, necessary and unnecessary objects and gadgets that we think will make us secure in nature.

The original idea may have come from the creative drive. The wonder drive took that idea and put it into the form of a plan or blueprint. It explained the idea. Now it is in the hands of the builder who makes the idea become the thing.

So man, in his capacity of hand, eyes, tongue, foot, and brain of his Creator, sets out to manufacture the finished article. And his creativity here on the plane of matter is just as ingenious as was the original idea.

So we see the mechanical urge set to do its part. The man with the rage drive has his prodigious cranes, bulldozers, cement mixers, earth-movers. He has his vast steel furnaces, his railroads spanning the country, his mining and oil machinery (which now go to sea), and his great steamers.

And then we see him at work on missiles, making gigantic preparations for war, constructing jet planes and intricate farm machinery.

It is an awe-inspiring sight to see how this man has changed the face of nature. And now he has capped all this constructive work as we see the mechanical brain of the great computing machines of IBM.

New York City is a beautiful example of this mechanical genius at work. The streets are filled with automobiles, the buildings are going up to the sky in all directions, while the subways are moaning and groaning below as they carry their millions to work or play.

In the rivers tugs are hauling food and oil and pushing great liners into their piers. All this is rage or human energy at work, pulling, hauling, shoving the earth about, and pushing the steel and aluminium and glass into the skies.

Now, if you watch any baby you will see that, almost from birth, he fights against restraint of any kind. If you hold him in your arms he begins to wiggle right away. He is telling you without words that he wants to live his life in his own way.

This is the instinct of aggression at work. The baby wants to find his own way of life and no one is to stop him. Anything that appears to interfere with his ease is resisted.

When the baby grows up, this drive becomes the aggressive drive of man to free himself from the restraints of nature. It creates the ways and means, the methods and procedures by which man accomplishes this purpose.

The drive of rage has also been the means of man's protecting himself from his enemies. He will resist others just as he does nature.

The Hungarian Revolution against the awful tyranny of the Kremlin has been an outstanding example of the action of rage, as it should be used. It is righteous wrath. The whole people went out aggressively to change an intolerable situation. Rage always wants to change things for the better.

First there was the stage of feeling and thought about the pressures of the Kremlin. At that time the idea of rebellion formed in the minds of Hungarian patriots. And through these leaders the people began to understand the monumental injustice of the Russian domination.

The feeling and thought stage finally reached the stage of rage or action. This was the active part, the doing of the job. After the subjective preparation, rage takes over.

Rage is doing. The man or woman with that accent is a doer. Rage says, “Let's quit thinking about it and get into action.

Let's put this idea into form, think of actual steps to take, action that will be most efficient. Let's design the tools necessary to build the object we have in mind.”

And so the earth is moved, the road or bridge is built, the building is fabricated, the chemical processes are changed, improved and refined, and the physical properties of matter are handled by continually new methods. Week by week new methods and processes are discovered by this great drive.

Before you can become used to one method you are offered another. We used to go into a grocery store and be served by clerks. Now the method and procedure has been changed to self-service, in the new supermarket. Even the place and style of the shelf dispensing tomato cans may be changed at any moment.

In the construction of the great machines of America all drives were necessary. But it was the drive of rage that did a lot of the actual hammering and sawing.

There are more famous men in the rage category than in any other. For what the rage drive does in its handling of matter is so apparent that it gets immediate recognition. You are able to see the building rise in the air, or the road being completed for traffic.  

Executive capacity is a rage characteristic. The organization of great industrial plants is largely in the hands of this type. Office managers and superintendents of plants are often of this drive.

The rage drive likes others and is therefore popular. They can both give and take orders and like it. They are willing to take routine jobs and carry on for long hours at a stretch.

Most representative of the rage drive as a whole is the engineer in all fields. One man shovels the earth around, another builds the electronic wonders of radio, television, radar, and the thinking machines. The efficiency engineer tells how to improve the methods and processes of the plant to which he is called.

Other engineers, too numerous to put down here, are working in the atomic field on missiles, on engines for submarines, on countless industrial processes.

Rage types tend to be orderly and systematic. They will work out ingenious card index systems, new methods of filing. They like the order imposed by machinery. The pilot of a jet plane thrives on the demand made on his ingenuity by the complicated machine.

Watch the face of a rage type light up as he raises the hood of a new car and sees the beauty of the engine.

Action, energy, doing something concrete, makes these individuals come alive. With their love for people they are continually joining organizations. They are the church workers, they join hospital drives, they offer to do town work. They love college associations, political parties, and clubs. They are the typical joiners.

They work in the Scout movements, the YMCA. They like to talk and argue. But this talk is usually about facts, objects, happenings, methods, and procedures, not about ideas. These the ordinary man of the type leaves strictly alone.

There are many famous bankers in this category. They are the men who like to hold what they have made. Their judgment on fiscal matters is good. It is not without reason that the big businessman or the banker is often caricatured as a big, powerful, round-headed man.

On a high plane we see such a man as Washington as a representative of the type. A leader of men, of the utmost probity, a great soldier, he typifies the rage type at its best.

And Franklin also, equally great, was this drive. And he, of course, added to all his marvellous wisdom, was one of the great scientists of all time. Electricity was not the same after Franklin.

Rage is the fighting quality of man and stems from the instinct of pugnacity. Without its use man would not be where he is today. It has been a necessary weapon in the defence of civilization through the ages.

The rage drive does a tremendous amount of work. It seems to do more than other types because what it does can be seen with the naked eye.

THE RAGE-SEX TYPE Constructive—Creative

I am going to begin the description of this type by quoting Thomas Jefferson as he describes Washington, who was a rage-sex type. He gives an almost complete rounding out o£ the qualities of the type. Here are his words in part:

”I think I knew Gen. Washington intimately and thoroughly. His mind was great and powerful, without being of the very first order; his penetration strong, though not as acute as a Newton, Bacon or Locke; and as far as he saw, no judgment was ever sounder.

It was slow in operation, being little aided by invention or imagination, but sure in conclusion. Hence the common remark of his officers of the advantage he derived from councils of war, where, hearing all suggestions, he selected whatever was best; and certainly no general ever planned his battles more judicially.

But if deranged during the course of the action, if any member of his plan was dislocated by sudden circumstances, he was slow in readjustment.

He was incapable of fear, meeting personal dangers with the calmest unconcern. Perhaps the strongest feature in his character was prudence, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration was maturely weighed, refraining if he was in doubt, but when once decided going through with his purpose whatever obstacles opposed.

His integrity was most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known; no motives of interest or consanguinity of friendship or hatred being able to bias his decision. He was indeed in every sense of the word a wise, a good and a great man.

His temper was naturally high-toned; but reflection and resolution had obtained a firm and habitual ascendance over it. If, however, it broke its bonds, he was most tremendous in his wrath.

In his expenses he was honourable but exact; liberal in con-attributions to whatever promised utility; but frowning and unyielding on all visionary projects and all unworthy calls on his charity.

His heart was not warm in its affections; but he exactly calculated every man's value, and gave him a solid esteem proportioned to it.

Although in the circle of his friends where he might be unreserved with safety, he took a free share in conversation; his colloquial talents were not above mediocrity, possessing neither copiousness of ideas nor fluency of words.

In public, when called on for a sudden opinion, he was unready, short and embarrassed. Yet he wrote readily rather diffusely in an easy and correct style. He was naturally distrustful of men, and was inclined to gloomy apprehensions; and I was ever persuaded that a belief that we must at length end in something like the British

Constitution had some weight in his adoption of the ceremonies of levees, birthdays, pompous meetings with Congress, and other forms of the same character, calculated to prepare us gradually for a change which he believed possible, and to let it come on with as little shock as might be to the public mind.

On the whole his character was in its mass perfect, in nothing bad, in few points indifferent, and it may truly be said that never did nature and fortune combine to make a man great and to place him in the same constellation with whatever worthies have merited from man an everlasting remembrance.”

Now that is a very wonderful description of an in-dividual rage-sex type of genius. But all the character-istics described in this penetrating analysis can be found in lesser degree in people of the same type with less en-dowment.

Benjamin Franklin was also of this type. While the usual humour of the type is broad and somewhat clownish, this was not true in his case. For in Franklin there flowed a fresh and crystal stream of inimitable humour.

This poured from the springs of the earth wisdom he was full of. Poor Richard's Almanac was a mine of homely practical wisdom couched in humorous terms. Some of his phrases have become immortal.

At the meeting of the Second Continental Congress gathered to ratify the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson, its author, was sitting next to Franklin. As the criticism of the members went on, and paragraph after paragraph was expunged, Franklin could see that Jeffer-son was not enjoying watching his child being cut up.

To relieve the situation he told Jefferson the following story:”I have made it a rule, whenever in my power, to avoid becoming the draughtsman of papers to be reviewed by a public body.

I took my lesson from an incident which I will relate to you. “When I was a journeyman printer, one of my compan-ions, having served out his time as apprentice hatter, was about to open shop for himself. His first concern was to have a handsome signboard with the proper inscription.

“He composed it in these words:  JOHN THOMPSON, HATTER, MAKES AND SELLS HATS FOR READY MONEY, With the figure of a hat subjoined.

“But he thought he would submit it to his friends for amendments. The first he showed it to thought the word HATTER tautologies because followed by the words, MAKES HATS. If good and to their liking they would buy by whomsoever made. It was struck out.

The next observed that the word MAKES might as well be omitted, because his customers would not care who made the hats. If good and to their liking they would buy by whomsoever made.

”A third said he thought the words FOR READY MONEY were useless as it was not the custom of the place to sell on credit. Everyone who purchased expected to pay. They were parted with and the inscription now stood JOHN THOMPSON, SELLS HATS.

“‘Sells hats!’ says his next friend. ‘Why nobody will expect you to give them away. What then is the use of that word?’

It was stricken out. And HATS followed it, the rather as there was one painted on the board. So the inscription was reduced ultimately to JOHN THOMPSON with the figure of a hat subjoined.”

When we take the mind apart and talk about it in its different aspects, we do this because we can only explain it this way. So as we talk about the rage-sex drive, please do not get the idea that it is motivated exclusively by rage.

The same mind has within it creativity, interpretation, sense perception. It is only that the rage part of the mind is accented. And so when the rage-sex type uses its creativity it does so in a constructive, mechanical way.

In the rage-sex drive we find a tremendous amount of energy. The constructive, building drive is modified by sex or creativity. This means that great power is developed because the creativity drives on the original constructive sense, not inhibiting it at all.

Seabury calls this type a courage-love nature. In the finest of the type there is great fortitude, analytic and constructive vision, deep feeling for the fellow man. These are very solid individuals.

When they have problems they can be a little heavy. They are loyal and can always be depended upon. They can be very tenacious, holding on to a dull job with great determination.

They are like bulls or bulldogs, and are tough men in a fight. All those who met Jack Dempsey can testify to this quality. They are aggressive, and “Common Sense” is the flag they carry at their masthead.

And so they tend to be conservative and are likely to dislike all theoretical ideas. They are always interested in the object and the fact, in the controlled test, the logical approach, the proven statement. I have is the phrase which describes them most accurately. They like possessions and get them and hold them.

This type is literally the one which moves mountains, and so we pick the engineer as illustrative of the drive. Often they become contractors whose great earth-moving machinery, bulldozers, road-laying equipment and cement mixers we see all over the landscape. These people like bigness and weight, and nothing physical frighten them.

They are the farmers who get up at four in the morning, and work hard all day. They can do a prodigious amount of physical labour, handling their farm machinery with skill.

On other planes of life they are bankers, who can make and hold on to money for themselves and others. In the last decade, the time of the money barons, they often be-came captains of industry. They were prominent in the push of civilization to the west coast in that era.

They are competitive and like to test their strength against that of others. But in the highest sense this characteristic is really the desire to perfect the self so as to serve others better.

A man of this type, who recently rose to the top, is Charles E. Wilson. He was for many years head of Gen-eral Motors and then became Secretary of Defence under Eisenhower.

He is a man of facts and figures with no par-ticular interest in theory. His imagination is only related to facts and objects. He likes the logical approach, the controlled test, and tends to judge the future by the past.

The rage-sex type is big in all areas, big in body, big in idea, big in accomplishment. The mind is slow to come to a decision but when that decision is made, it is held to with great obstinacy.

It is very interesting to see that Jefferson noted this characteristic in Washington. What it means is that the type has a deliberative will, and waits till all the evidence is in before making up its mind.

No one can push these people out of their chosen course of action. General Grant was a man of this type and admirably displayed its aggressive qualities. He was not a brilliant strategist, but his statement”I propose to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer” is illustrative of the rage-sex characteristic of determination.

I have is the phrase used to describe the type. Immanuel Kant, Mark Twain, Hogarth, Rabelais, Caruso, and General Grant are among those in this grouping.

THE RAGE-WONDER TYPE Constructive

In this type the drive for mechanics, construction, and executive sense is modified by wonder or curiosity, the interpretive drive. This qualifies the energy of the rage and drives it deeper into whatever course it decides to follow.

In doing this it seems to inculcate into the type a most extraordinary working habit and ability. These are the people who are forever at work. And they accomplish a prodigious amount from their incessant effort.

Because the wonder drives the mind deep into a subject, you will find many great scientists like Michael Faraday and Charles Darwin in this grouping.

Faraday was a great genius, and genius always transcends all type classifications. But he illustrates the best qualities of the drive very well. He was the great analyzer, realistic, accurate. His creative sense of interpretation was always focused on looking for the new.

Through his tremendous determination and indefatigable work he was finally led to discover how to harness the source of electricity. He is responsible for the basic power which has so many uses for us today in the home and in industry and transportation.

Strangely enough, he was not interested in making money. For usually the rage types have a well-developed money sense. But he was vitally interested in finding out the secrets of nature.

And this interest led him continually on to many other discoveries that satisfied his nature. So he gave up voluntarily the fortune he could have made from his great discovery.

In another way Faraday also contradicted the usual bent of the drive. They are usually anything but great lovers. But Faraday married a wife with whom he was extremely compatible. So compatible that she agreed with his decision not to go all out for a fortune. Theirs was a perfect mating.

The rage-wonder type is very loyal. They make the most faithful of mates and friends. Charles Darwin was another fine example of the type. Again, as in the case of Faraday, we see the most meticulous accuracy.

We witness the gaze that penetrated deeper into nature than man had ever gone before. Again there was exhibited the great power of analysis, the complete dedication to the scientific attitude.

This is the man who started out in life to be a minister, who lived to throw organized religion into the greatest turmoil it had ever experienced. For the religious of that day said that Darwin had banished God from heaven.

But the great man, who’s The Origin of Species changed the thought of mankind, went on his way inexorably, aiming to find and tell the truth at all costs. ‘Facts, facts, I must have proof” said Darwin. And in this sentence was compressed his attitude toward life. Twenty years of that life were spent in the gathering of the facts on the Galapagos.

When it appeared that his whole life work was to be stolen from him by the paper of Alfred Russel Wallace, he did all he could to help Wallace. Probity, honour were always carried at his masthead.

The truth was a sacred obligation. He was a genius and a big mind. There was nothing petty about him. He said of those who attacked his revolutionary ideas, “Let each man hope and believe what he can.”

Darwin and Faraday were world-shaking figures. The careful, precise nature of their minds demanded the deep-est possible search for truth. And both were rewarded by their investigations into the secrets of nature.

Sir Joshua Reynolds was a painter of this type. He was realistic, a wonderfully careful technician. He gave you the exact representation of the person or scene he was painting. There was nothing abstract about his work.

It was concise, true to life and to nature. No mysticism bothered him. He was not searching for inner meanings. He was out to express the external beauty of what he saw.

The rage-wonder type is par excellence the careful observer of detail that others pass over, of the truth of nature and the ways of men. They tend to be restrained in human relations. They seldom appear over-emotional. In business they exhibit a shrewd, wary judgment in affairs.

This ability, coupled with the fact of their loyalty, makes them fit for positions of trust in the business world. Their capacity for statistics makes them very useful in the banking business. They become the expert accountants, the treasurers, the confidential secretaries, where their natural abilities fit very nicely.

The type is adaptive. It will go with you easily. It is intent on pleasing the other person. But it keeps its secrets well. You may know a rage-wonder type for a long time but never get to his deeper regions of mind. They some-times have a hard time finding out their inner thoughts for themselves.

The type lives in relation to its setting. Their environ-ments tend to be books, scientific laboratories, mechanics' benches, and the secretarial desk. Or they seek the stretches of nature, fields, woods, mountains, streams, and sea. They are affected by these more than by human beings.

They do not need human contacts as much as the other cycloids do. They tend to analyze people, to criticize them, and finally arrive at some intellectual decision about them. This may be just, and does not err on the warm and friendly side.

The criticalness of Voltaire illustrates how meticulous the type is in letters. He was discriminating to a pro-nounced degree. He possessed a shrewd, apprehensive judgment. Nothing in the foibles and errors of society escaped his microscopic mind. But he needed the stimulus of the society in which he lived for the inspiration of his writing.

The people of this group often show great acumen. They sometimes tend to become great intellects. They do not like to let their feelings out to play. Often they can be bogged down in detail.

Agassiz, the naturalist, was this type. In watching nature, his quality of attention to detail was a great asset. And like Darwin, Agassiz penetrated deep into nature.

Then, on the more mechanical plane, the constructive plane, this type shows special aptitudes. During the last war I picked up a copy of Life magazine. I glanced at a page where there were displayed the faces of about twenty-four aces of the air war.

I was astonished as I saw the faces side by side. For each man looked as if he were the brother of the man next to him. I remember talking to Seabury about this. He said, “Well, the answer is that they are all rage-wonder types. These are the best of all types in handling machines in motion.”

The type makes very fine mechanics, especially where attention to detail is important. And when it comes to judging speeds, distances, directions, proximity there is no drive so good. So they will be found in all types of transportation, on the roads, in the air, on the rails, under the sea.

The quality of being aware of their surroundings is a mark of this type. They do not tend to have accidents, because they see everything around them. And they see these things in relation to each other and to them. They therefore take any precautions necessary.

They make good teachers, particularly in science, where their accuracy and scientific approach are most important. They are good in history, anthropology, biology, physics, and the subjects where knowledge of detail is necessary.

I analyze is the term that describes the type and its action. They, like all rage types, desire to change things, and not just on the surface, either. They analyze before they attempt to change. So what they do usually has a lasting quality.

The term mechanic fits the general run of the type. They construct and build. They are strong at method and procedure and process, for their analytical minds give them the method that is most efficient. Even Faraday showed great mechanical sense as he worked in his laboratory.

Constant energy, meticulous observation, scientific know-how—these are the great abilities of the type. In the genius this makes a tremendous impact on life. Dickens, Copernicus, Andrew Carnegie, Calvin Cool-idge and Sir Joshua Reynolds come under this classification.

THE RAGE-FEAR TYPE Constructive—Cautious

It is possible to speak of the rage-fear con-figuration as a courage-caution combination. For we have here rage or energy, constructive sense, and mechanical ability modified by the drive of fear, caution, foresight, and sense perception.

The caution tends to slow down the energy, often causing it to go deeper than in the other two rage types. The energy is throttled down by the caution, but this fact drives it to more subjective expression when the type is a high one. And the caution can drive the energy underground.

This type is capable of great depths and heights of feeling and thought. So that wherever they are you are aware of them at all times. The fear may seem to stop the energy, but you feel that the potential is always there.

Seabury has this interesting statement to make of the effect of the modifier on the primary drive. He says, “It is the secondary emotion that gives the formative expression to the configuration, because it affects the way a person acts rather than how he feels.” So in this case the fear dictates to the rage how it shall act.

This is therefore a very self-controlled type. It can become inhibited on account of its caution, while inside the energy boils around trying to find some constructive outlet.

Seabury states that in the higher planes of this type there is a beautiful capacity to endure privation for the fulfilment of a great purpose or ideal. Some of the religious martyrs have belonged to this grouping, for none is more able to sacrifice than those whose courage is balanced by caution.

It would seem that the fear drives the energy to seek the ideal of perfection that lies within each one of us. What this does in the rage-fear type is to make them very ambitious. There is within them an intense desire for success and its subsidiary, a strong drive for power.

There is nothing wrong with this drive to make the self the very best instrument of life possible. In fact, it is a very positive quality. It is only when the drive is for one's own aggrandizement that the power drive gets out of hand and becomes negative.

Interestingly enough, most of the type is mountain climbers desirous of attaining the highest spot within reach. It seems to express to them in terms that are acceptable the perfection within them that they are always trying to release.

After all, when you have climbed with great effort to the top of a 10,000 foot peak, you have for the time achieved perfection. No one in your locality can do any better. Standing on the summit of a mountain symbolizes reaching the top in other areas.

There is a certain amount of inner conflict in this mind. It is between feeling and thought. Usually the thought wins out and controls the behaviour pattern.

When, how-ever, the feeling and thought are not in conflict but united you have an individual of extraordinary generosity and power. This occurs only in the higher types.

Many of this type make fine lawyers. Their minds are extremely quick and agile. I manoeuvre is the phrase that best describes the way their minds work. The famous Machiavelli was of this type and gave his name to the skilful manoeuvring of the mind.

He illustrates, not too positively the extraordinary cleverness of the type. In his book, The Prince, he describes how the prince can seize and wield his power. Unfortunately he makes use of all the forms of fear to do this.

These are many and devious. That is why his name has come to stand for the clever and unscrupulous use of power for its own sake. For he advised all the chicanery and deceit that go with such use of fear.

Harry Truman is a good example of the type on the plane of common sense and the political life. He is no Machiavelli, let me hasten to add. He is an honest man of unusual ability, who shows great interest in and capacity for politics. He likes people perhaps more than the average of the type does.

He has the quick, decisive mind of this drive. You always get an immediate answer from him on any subject. This betrays the imperative will of the type. They think fast and know immediately what they think on all subjects.

Truman had no general overall policy to guide his administration. He was not a planner like Woodrow Wilson, for instance. He was a realist, a doer, not a thinker. But he was able to make quick and wise decisions in a crisis.

This he proved by his great decision to go into Korea, by which he saved that country from Communist domination. This type of mind is fine in a crisis where quick decision has to be made on the spot.

Since these minds are imperative, they usually have to learn to curb this tendency, for they find that they do have trouble in human relations. Most of them do this in early life. But this was not exactly true of Truman. As we well remember he could suddenly become explosive, and did, on the subject of Margaret.

The average members of the type like to work for big companies. There seems to be something about the bigness that satisfies their inner drive for perfection. Many are born officials, loving to rule, yet fearing it.

Remarkably industrious, they are great students, academic searchers for knowledge. Many of them are teachers and college professors. The government, being large, appeals to their sense of prestige. You will find many of them in bureaucratic positions. They are also mechanical and are found wherever there are machines.

This type is the engineer who likes to handle the most intricate machinery, the electronic engineer rather than the man who runs a Diesel.

Delicate manoeuvring with hand and brain please this disposition. It is the near perfection of the more elaborate machinery that appeals to the rage-fear person. The sense of power felt when working on this perfection gives added prestige.

As the hand is the extension of the brain, so is the drive of rage an extension of the inner drive of love. Rage is just one stage in the passage of love from the state of purpose in the mind to expression in the act of manifestation.

Martin Luther was of this type. The great truth that electrified him and forced him to post his theses on the door of the church at Wittenberg was the idea of justification by faith. From this the Protestant Reformation stemmed. Faith alone even without the works was enough for salvation.

But in his own life Luther did not live as he professed, for his whole life was one of action or works. His faith led him to good act after courageous act. He was a pro-digious doer, a worker of great capacity. His life was one of good works. He was of the stuff of which martyrs are made.

One of the greatest geniuses of all time was of this type, Michelangelo. Admitted by all as beyond compare as an artist, he worked with the utmost vigor all his ninety years and died in harness. He is the man who, of all men, most nearly approached the inner sense of perfection he felt within him.

This is what kept him at his great work for so many years. Maybe perfection itself, or the absolute was not for him, but he would make a tremendous try for it.

The frescoes of the “Last Judgment,” on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, are the greatest in the world, a concept of vast proportions, done with a technique that had no flaws. It is a stark and terrible picture he gives of the hopelessness of man and human destiny in the face of fate. But for pure power in the painting there is nothing like it.

It took him four years to complete the work. And all this time he lay on his back clad in a loincloth. For some time after he had finished he walked around with his head stretched backward.

He, too, was of the stuff of which martyrs are made. His vision of perfection never let him alone. He was a giant who would give all he had for the unveiling of that perfection. And from the finite standpoint he accomplished it.

In this day and age we can say that we have witnessed the life and deeds of one of the greatest rage-fear types in all history. That is the life and death of Mahatma Gandhi. In him this profound desire for perfection found a fervent acolyte.

In the early part of his life he was a very successful lawyer, making big money. There was no question of the practical capacity of his mind. But his inner drive was to help his fellow Indians whom he saw persecuted in Africa. So the great man was forced to give up the life of the law and devote himself to the service of suffering mankind.

Here was another martyr, and he did die a martyr's death. But I am sure Gandhi never considered himself one. He was always ready to forgive the violent people who ignorantly opposed him.

He certainly in later life approached as near to spiritual perfection as finite man can. There was no limit to the love he felt for the poor and unfortunate of the world.

Gandhi represents what method and procedure can do to bring to earth and manifestation a great spiritual idea. He not only conceived the idea of freedom for the Indian people, but he evolved the way by which it could come about.

His policy of passive resistance, of spiritual non-violence, brought about India's freedom. This was accomplished in such a way that there was relatively little animosity aroused among the British.

They were sporting enough to recognize fair play in another. Surely the relations between India and England are infinitely more friendly than they would have been had force been used. Gandhi gave us a picture of the God within man as few individuals have in such perfection.

We call the rage-fear type the engineer. But we mean the engineer of the spirit as well as of matter. It all depends upon the plane of life of the individual. For there is spiritual efficiency as well as physical. And the application of spiritual methods can change history. Gladstone, Oliver Cromwell and Anthony Comstock are in the rage-fear classification.

THE DRIVE OF FEAR Caution—Foresight—Sense Perception

When an animal is faced with a situation dangerous to its survival, it takes one of two courses. It fights in anger or it retreats in fear. The two drives of rage and fear are therefore the two ways that man reacts to physical danger.

He becomes aggressive and fights to change the situation, as in rage, or he thinks about the danger and decides to retreat from it. Anger is his first reaction and is entirely without thought. Fear is the second reaction and is arrived at after the process of thought.

In neurosis also the same principle holds. The disturb-ing experience in childhood is either fought against aggressively, or run away from in fear.

Fear is the drive of caution, foresight, looking ahead into the future and taking the steps necessary to counter-act the problems in the way of a course of action.

It is strong in sense perception. And the people of this type always betray the fact that they have one of the five senses especially well-developed.

Fear is positive in that it helps to protect the body. It is part of the objective means by which we save ourselves from danger. It was undoubtedly the emotion of fear that caused men to gather together in groups.

These later became towns and cities which were used as a means of protection from animals and dangerous enemies. There-fore we can say that fear was the instrumental cause of the beginnings of all civilizations.

Your sense of fear has saved your life many times. For instance, it has caused you to run from an oncoming auto-mobile often. It has saved you from falling on the ice by making you extra cautious when the sidewalks were slip-pery.

Over and over again it has protected your life. So we can say that the drive is one of safeguarding, taking care of, and protecting things.

In everyone's life the drive of fear is of the utmost importance. Caution is always thinking about the best and safest way of doing things. It is pointing out to the more impulsive creative drive, for instance, that the wise way to do a thing is this way, not that. It directs and guides and tries always to find the way of safety.

Apparently the only fears the baby has are those pro-duced by a loud noise or by the feeling of falling. All his later fears are those produced by his experience in life. As he listens to the fears and prohibitions of his parents he learns the many fears he exhibits in his later life.

Beyond the safety of the individual, the drive of fear provides for the safety of the herd, for man is a herd animal and his safety depends on the safety of the herd. Every man has the emotion of fear but in the fear type its qualities are specially accented.

There are countless ways in which this great drive of foresight, looking ahead, caution, is necessary in life.

How could a man construct a complicated machine with-out the quality of foresight? He has to be able to visualize the fact that if he does this, then that effect will eventuate. If he does something else it will cause another effect.

Once a creative idea is thought of it is necessary to think about how it can be put into practical form. And here the rage and the fear drives are of the utmost necessity. For they are the drives that produce actual manifestation.

They take the blueprint of the idea and put it into exact physical form. Without the sense of caution all sorts of foolish, impractical ideas might get into form.

No instinct that God puts into us is without use. Rage and fear together are the drives to protect physical life. Rage does it by fighting, fear by caution or retreat. When they are sublimated as they are in the emotional drives, they still have as basic urge the protection of the physical life forces.

The fear drive, like the rage drive, is basically interested in method and procedure, the processes of doing things. And so with its drive of sense perception it is always interested in how to get the blueprint into actual form.

We take the businessman as the great example of the drive of fear. This man likes to trade, and knows the value of what he trades in. He is the banker or the insurance man, both of whom take care of your money or your possessions.

He is likely to be the man who writes down the history of the town in which he lives. He is the one who makes collections of objects—glass, china, silver, old furniture. He loves these objects so much that he desires to own them and protect them.

Our libraries and our museums are the products of this drive to protect the great works of civilization. Today we can enter the Metropolitan Museum in New York and see all the finest aspirations of Greece, Egypt and Rome spread out before our eyes. And we owe this to the drive of fear.

In the Museum of Natural History we see the protection of all the knowledge the race has acquired of animal and early human life on the globe. It is of the utmost importance for us to have museums like these. They give us an invaluable picture of past life, or they show us aspects of our world we do not know.

Wall Street used to be called the street of fear. Every time a rumour hit it the stocks would go up or down. This is the bankers’ street where all the industry of America is traded in.

And its principle characteristic is caution, foresight, looking ahead, and trading in futures. It pro-tects physical America.

Fear is the nurture instinct in higher form. It trades so that food may be given to all, so that goods may flow to all who need them. Trade now is no longer barter, but it is a complicated form of exchange of goods for labour, nevertheless. It is the trading desire highly developed today.

The family was the first herd or horde. Families stayed together for protection. Out of this developed the village, the town, the state, and the nation as the need for pro-tection grew.

Today it is the council of fear that is urging us to see to it that we have a world government. For we realize now that in no other way can the safety of the world be assured.

Another caution idea is the idea of law and the police system. It is designed for the protection of the great body of citizens from the attacks of the irrational few whom practice violence. And now today we are beginning to see the absolute necessity for a world police force to keep order among nations.

For our fear tells us that some irrational dictator may arise suddenly, in violent mood, plunge the world into atomic war. Without this quality of caution or foresight we would not bother to prepare for the dangers which can arise.

The fear drive is responsible for our hospitals. For they are manifestly a caretaking endeavour. They help to protect life, fight disease, and try to find new methods of combating the problem of human sickness.

All the drives, sex, wonder, rage, and fear are enlisted in the battle to control disease. Each drive furnishes its particular ability. But it is fear that starts the whole process in motion.

What is the idea of government but a fear idea? The whole reason for government is to take care of people, to pass laws for their safety and welfare. The President of the United States is the servant of the people. He is dedicated to keeping them safe and in peace. Keeping order in town, country and world is the high duty of the drive of fear.

The Secretary of the Treasury is sometimes called its watchdog. His main job is the regulation of all fiscal policies. His aim is to keep business in operation, avoiding panics, keeping the business cycle on an even keel. He guards the financial structure of the country. He protects the American standard of living.

The Constitution of the United States was first of all a creation of love and creativity, a new concept of government. But its basic reason for being was the maintenance of order in the United States.

So perhaps you begin to see the importance of this great human drive of fear. You might say that it is the final step in the progress of a creative idea after it is first taken from the blue.

The second step is the interpretive drive of wonder when the actual blueprint is made. Rage then takes over and puts the blueprint into form. Then fear finances, guards, and sells the product.

The average fear types are everywhere in life. They are lawyers, bankers, insurance men, traders, big and small. Because their sense perceptions are so strong, they handle objective things better than others. If it is ideas they are handling, these ideas are on the factual side. They know value and are not likely to be fooled in a trade.

They like routine work and can both give and take orders. They enjoy work in large organizations. They feel a certain sense of prestige in working for United States Steel, or Macy's or the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com-pany.

They are always looking ahead, discounting the future. They are in real estate, in manufacturing of all sorts, exporting and importing. They are the little people who work all day long in small stores. They are also the big operators. They have a good money sense and are fine at statistics etcetera.

They are more likely to print the newspapers than to gather the news. They are the salesmen who know the value of the product they sell and are able to convince others. They are experts in the food and drink trades.

This type, together with the rage type, has had most to do with changing the face of this country. The surgeon with his accurate sight, his accurate sense of touch, his accurate sense perception, on which may hang the life of his patient, is often of this drive.

This is the realist of realists. He is generally a hard-headed practical man, a solid member of the community. The type reasons logically, his mind working by controlled association. That is, he knows step by step how he arrives at his conclusion.

He sees everything as it is on the surface, and this means people as well as things. He is not so apt to look for meaning in what he sees. He accepts people at their face value without too much questioning.

When he is highly endowed subjectively he is still the realist at work. He sees every detail, and employs sense imagery that is aware of every part of the scene. Walt Whitman is a good example of the type on a subjective plane.

The love or creative drive is not able to protect itself. This drive does so ably. Together with rage it goes to work to make the external situation possible for the unfolding of the love drive.

THE FEAR-SEX TYPE Cautious—Creative

When we say that the fear types are the realists of realists, we mean that their accent is based on the keen-est possible uses of the physical senses.

These senses of sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell introduce us to the mysteries of our three dimensional existence here on earth. Through them we touch the world in which we live and the phenomena of the world touch us.

Every sense is in reality a sense of touch. Quite evidently your hand touches all it meets. But so do little invisible particles of matter touch the lining of your nose, causing you the experience of smell. These particles are floating in the air.

The taste buds in your mouth are touched by particles of matter in the saliva. The ear is touched by waves of sound coming through the atmosphere. And your eye, the most important sense organ of all, is touched by waves of light coming through the air.

The sense part of the mind is the mind of the body. It is the most exterior part of the mind but it is of great importance. The more accurately and keenly our senses are developed, the more accurate is our view of the reality of our world.

All later inner sense perception and ability to see meaning are based on this first view of the world we get through our sense mind.

The fear-sex type therefore is a combination of caution, foresight, and sense perception, modified by creativity or nurture. It is a caution-love union. While the love gives it its manner of action, the caution is its centre of being.

So this is a very loving type, with its love cantering on the home. It is a gentle, quiet, tender, sympathetic, protective type. In a nutshell, the caution holds the love to the region of the home. The type will do almost anything to keep the home together.

A woman of this type was married to a man who became violent in the course of his psychosis. Almost any other type would have been glad to be free of this constant menace of physical danger.

But this woman did not want to be free. She underwent a great deal of agony to keep the home together. Happy or not, she wanted her home.

Seabury says that domesticity is the product of fear and sex. And this type is an example of his statement. The type works for the home, saves for the home. Nothing fills them with such joy as the family spirit they are able to engender. Family parties, children coming to dinner on Sundays, mean more to this type than any other entertainment.

So it is not surprising that people of this type, when they go into business, find their greatest interest to be in manufacturing or dealing in something that has to do with the home. There they are in the furniture business, in the kitchen equipment field.

They will be found manufacturing all the million gadgets which are apparently necessary for modern living. They are in television, radio, wallpaper, paints, and fabrics for the home. You will find them in the clothing business, making beautiful gowns for the home. Their fine sense perception is most important in the styling of all these things.

Christian Dior was a man of this type. He was very decided and imperative. His mind was quick. He always knew instinctively what was correct for any lady. Here's what he had to say at the opening of one of his style shows in New York. ”I listen for a certain quality in the silence/’

This is the realist at work sensing approval of disapproval. Then he emitted this gem of realistic thinking. “The women who are the loudest for the short skirt will soon be wearing the longest dresses.”

Since the home must have food and drink, this type goes into such work. They are the butchers and grocers, the tea and coffee importers. They become the great cooks, whose sense of taste and smell are so well-developed. They enjoy nuances of flavour and aroma and often become gourmets.

Environment makes a strong impression on these people. They are responsive to it. And so because they like the familiar, they do not move around much. Once they are happily situated they are more likely to travel by subscribing to the National Geographic.

The great department stores are examples of how this type is interested in merchandising for the home. It was no accident that John Wanamaker was the proprietor of the first department store, for he was of this type.

The minds of the drive are quick and imperative. They are able, however, to keep this pretty well under control usually. Their love helps them here. But in questions of the home and family they can become a little arbitrary.

I think the term trader is a very good one for them. They know the quality of the goods they deal in extremely well. They have foresight and caution and a fine sense of money values. They enjoy the give and take of the usual trade.

The backbone of many a farm family will be found to be of this type. They are extremely tenacious in holding on to anything they want. And they can be tenacious in keeping on with a long, laborious job until it is finished.

It is almost impossible to stop them from doing what they set out to do. Long after others have given up a job as hopeless, this type will still be holding on with grim tenacity.

Kipling was of this type. In his early work you can see the man of sense perception. In the Jungle Books he shows great sensitivity to the ways of animals in nature. Keen observation is here, an exquisite awareness of the habits of wild life.

Then later in life he had great success. And in con-formity with what often happens with the type, he became conservative and an imperialist. And no one will say that his remarks on America betrayed the fact that he possessed sensitivity.

There are those of high and low planes of feeling and thought in all types. But since this is psycho-synthesis we are explaining, we spend our time with those on the higher planes. And this is because the higher planes give us a better picture of the possibilities of the type.

Walt Whitman had this drive. He was a realist living always in the phenomenal world. He was in the world and of the world. And yet his nature was on such a scale of genius that he transcended the type. Yet always he used sense imagery with great effect.

The lilacs bloom by the dooryard, the juicy autumnal fruit is ripe and red from the orchard. The pioneers are from the peaks gigantic, from the great sierras and the high plateaus. He sees everything, he feels everything, and he is continually sensing the life and the objects around him.

But how deeply subjective the man can become. By constant reiteration of his sense imagery we feel below the words the deep subjective emotion.

Here is a piece from A Song of Joys.

O to make the most jubilant song

Full of music—full of manhood, womanhood, infancy,

Full of common employments—full of grain and trees.

O for the voice of animals—O for the swiftness and balance of fishes,

O for the dropping of raindrops in a song O for the sunshine and motion of waves in a song.

What a subjective picture of joy and power and life and song he is able to evoke in these few lines of wonderful sense imagery!

You do not get from Whitman the self-analysis of the more introspective types. He does not give you, nor can he, the subtle distinctions that a man like William Blake makes.

But he does give you the robust feeling of a man of the earth, seeing, feeling, and sensing the joys and beauties of his environment. And he can express spiritual ideas too, as when he says that there is more to a man than can be seen between his hat and his boots.

Whitman was a great man. He was comprehensive. There is much more in his poetry than appears in the literal reading. He celebrated his home, America, in words that will be heard down the corridors of time.

With the love encouraging the fear to be true to itself in so many ways, it is no wonder that this type does not progress very far from the home. Fear naturally does not want to leave home, and the love provides the excitement necessary in the family group.

And also the tenacious quality comes in to buttress up the fortress of the home. Once a fear type has been moved to love a mate, that mate has only a Chinaman's chance of ever getting away.

These are the stable people. They are the certain members of the community. They are always there; they can always be counted upon. They will never let down the town or the group in any way.

I protect is a fitting phrase to describe these people. The fear-sex classification also includes Anatole France and Thomas Carlyle.

THE FEAR-WONDER TYPE Cautious—Interpretive

We have here the drive of caution, foresight, sense perception modified by wonder, the drive of inter-pretation, the drive for meaning.

In certain combinations this causes the caution to go deep, but in other natures it drives them horizontally and not so deep. These latter seek ever new outlets for the protective drive of fear.

The type is therefore able to develop a chameleon-like quality of being all things to all men. They take on the colouring of their surroundings, as does the chameleon, for protection.

With gay people they can be gay; with the grave they can be grave. They are so sympathetic, par-ticularly when the wonder drives the attention deep, that they are able to feel sympathy as few people can. This is a wonderful quality in human relations.

And so, as you would expect, these people are very successful in their contacts with others. They exude a sympathy which everyone feels. They make you certain that they like you. This quality adds greatly to the felicity of life.

The result of these qualities is that they often become fine actors. They can take on the feeling of a part with utmost ease. They can be slapstick like Ed Wynn, losing themselves in the humour of the situation they are evoking.

They are gentle, never biting, as a comic such as Groucho Marx can be. Marx is a sex-fear type, with great wit and a rapier-like mind. The fear-wonder types, as comics, never go very deep. They are not interested in ideas. They are interested in the people and things around them.

The activity pattern of wonder, when it is combined with fear, and dominated by fear, means that the fear forbids the wonder to be free. It keeps attention close to the surface. In rare cases, it can become fixated on an idea. But usually the focus of attention turns back to the objective reality around it.

In almost all cases the mind concerns itself with things. Seldom does it indulge itself in phantasm, except in relation to human situations. And there it can well carry a phantasm image of unconsummated love for years. But it is not likely to carry the torch for an idea for very long.

The great English poet Keats was this type. He was, of course, on a pretty high plane, but his approach to his art was typical of the type's reaction. Listen to this music, gentle, fragile, delicate.

It is the music of a mind that sees and feels with great sense perception. There are no ideas but beauty. He is in the scene, sensing it with utmost perception.

I stood tiptoe upon a little hill,

The air was cooling, and so very still.

That the sweet buds which with a modest pride

Pull droopingly, in slanting curve aside,

Their scantly leaved and finely tapering stems,

Had not yet lost those starry diadems

Caught from the early sobbing of the morn.

The clouds were pure and white as flocks new shorn,

And fresh from the clear brook; sweetly they slept

On the blue fields of heaven, and then there crept

A little noiseless noise among the leaves,

Born of the sigh that silence heaves.

Surely this is a gem of sense imagery. And it goes deep into the scene. It tells you how the poet feels as he paints it for you from his palette of sound.

Naturally in a description of the types we strive to give most attention to the average. But it must never be forgotten that there are men and women on all planes of objectivity and subjectivity in each drive.

This is why I have mentioned the artist in the fear type classifications. I don't want the reader to get the idea that artists only belong to a certain type. They simply take on, in then-art, the particular bent of the special drive.

I serve is the phrase that best describes the type. While they do serve in many of the smaller jobs of life, that is not the whole of it. The ideal of being of service to man-kind is the highest purpose man has.

When one man turns to his brother with the attitude of trying to help and cooperate with him that is a high spiritual position to take. It follows the second commandment of Jesus, to love the neighbour as the self.

And the great Teacher said on another occasion that he who would be first in the kingdom is the man who ministers to his fellow men.

While seldom reaching this ideal, the fear-wonder type has the possibility of human service within its scope. It is quite possible that society is still so primitive that the Kindliness and desire of the type to serve has been taken advantage of.

On the plane of modern business, for instance, service plays a most important role. The salesman knows today that he is, to a great extent, selling service when he sells a product. His product must do what he says it will. His company stands behind its product with service.

Also the salesman knows today that he does not have to enter a prospect's office in fear and trembling as was so often the case in the past. He knows that he has service to offer his client. So he feels that he will be welcome. A good sale is of benefit to both parties and this is the life of trade.

It can be said that the fear-wonder type is the salesman par excellence. He knows instinctively how others feel. He also knows that it is the feeling of the other man that must be appealed to when making the sale.

The intellect is subsidiary to the feeling. Find out the love of the pros-pect—that is the way to sell him. And here the type is most successful. It can sense the feeling of the other. Being able to fall into the mood of the prospect is a very valuable asset in selling.

The type is adaptive. That means that it is always thinking of the other man. When the fear-wonder type presents an idea, he always thinks of the manner which will most please the other man.

Like the other fear types, the fear-wonder person likes to be associated with a large organization. He senses the power of the corporation, and basks in it.

The type will be found in welfare work and social work. They make wonderful nurses and doctors. Since they are so good in human relations, you will find them in many positions demanding this quality.

They are successful in the hotel business, in public relations, as secretaries, re-ceptionists, expediters, photographers, and so forth.

The minister who will never set the world afire as a preacher often finds himself acting as assistant to a man who is a great preacher, and only that. The fear-wonder person, with his special ability in human relations, takes on the pastoral work of the parish.

He is very much the realist, as the other fear types are. He is practical and logical. He is very much aware of his environment, and is greatly affected by those with whom he comes in contact.

But also, in some of the more evolved members of the type there is a dreamy quality. Their desire for mystic experience seems to contradict their practicality. Many Catholic women of the type become nuns, while men seek the priesthood. They do not reason out their bent in this direction.

They simply love the occult and mysterious. The fact of the size and authority of the organized church also appeals to them.

Washington Irving was of this type. He was a realist, but he was also interested in all the strange and mysterious objects, scenes and events of the world. He lays bare his mind under the title,

The Authors Account of Himself. He says, ”I was always fond of visiting new scenes, and observing strange characters and manners. •.. My holiday afternoons were spent in rambles around the surrounding country.

I made myself familiar with all its places famous in history or fable. I knew every spot where murder or robbery had been committed, or a ghost seen. . . . This rambling propensity strengthened with my years.”

His wonder drove Irving to see all the famous places of the world. His fear made him describe what he did and what he saw in an impersonal, unfeeling sort of way. You read his story and find the facts interesting, but you never feel the inside of his characters.

“Rip Van Winkle” is perhaps his most famous story. He has used an old Catskill tale as a base. But he tells the story without much feeling. His anecdote is interesting and that is all. He cannot communicate feeling, or he does not feel. In this he differs from Keats who feels deeply.

In Keats the wonder drives the fear deep into the sub-ject. In Irving the wonder drives the fear to a search for excitement all over the world. One is horizontal, the other vertical, yet both are the same type.

The fear-wonder type is therefore the type of all others that can lose himself in service to others.

Its descriptive phrase is, naturally, I serve. And this is why he has not produced so many famous individuals as yet. It is perhaps the least egocentric. P. T. Barnum and Hamlet are included in this group.

THE FEAR-RAGE TYPE Cautious—Constructive

I determine is the phrase that best applies to this type. For its determination is very great. While there are more famous men and women in the rage group as a whole, I believe fear-rage has produced more than any other individual drive.

There is great power in the type, which is proved by the number of people who have succeeded in all areas of life.

In this case fear or the drive of caution, foresight, and sense perception is modified by rage, or the drive of construction, mechanical sense, energy, the urge to build.

The caution is driven on by a tremendous energy, while the energy is kept in bounds by the caution. So this type can be said to be the realist of realists, having the best and most accurate picture of the external world of any type.

It is a caution-courage combination. It was Napoleon, who was of this type, who said that the bravest men were those who were naturally the most fearful. And this type can determine to go through with a dangerous operation, doing it with cool courage, which is doubly dangerous because of the innate caution within.

There is, however, the same schism between the energy and the caution that appears in the rage-fear type, but this time reversed. When the caution is top-heavy it can keep the type from all action.

Both fear and rage are outward tendencies. That is why the type is so much at home in its environment. It is not usually troubled with too many subjective ideas, and very much at ease with objects and facts.

Seabury says that the type is made searchingly alert by the activity of their fear and aggressively energetic by the initiative of their rage. They are singularly empowered to put through their purposes and often can display great concentration.

Since the caution is continually pushed on by the rage, you can see that the type is going to be very efficient. It is guided straight to its object, and it always knows what it is doing.

We call this type the analyst because accuracy is one of its salient characteristics. But it is so broad in its interests that it is all over the map, doing every kind of work.

Napoleon showed the great genius of the type in war-fare. Goethe displayed it in literature and science. Sir Isaac Newton was an example of the scientific accuracy of the mind.

Napoleon is the epitome of the type. He had great per-sonal power, iron will and determination. His fear or caution gave him much exterior wisdom. He had a slow mind, as is characteristic of the type. He waited until all the evidence was in before coming to a decision. This made him the great strategist.

Before he went into action he had a most realistic picture of the terrain, of the dis-position of his troops and those of the enemy. His analysis of each situation was accurate and wise. His determination made him the conqueror.

Goethe was another towering world genius of this type. Like all genius he transcended the type. For usually the drive is most realistic and not very subjective. Goethe had both sides of his mind developed, the inner and the outer.

He was both objective and subjective. He had a scientific bent and studied alchemy, physiognomy, the natural sciences, which were then in a state of great activity. He published two volumes on light and colour. Also, at one time, he was a member of the Privy Council at Weimar, and served the state for a number of years.

But his main claim to fame is on the literary side. In poetry and drama he became a world figure. In his great-est work, Faust, he gave a living picture of the failure of man to live up to the possibilities of his spirit, the God within.

Physically we know that in the creation of the child, the man plants the seed in the woman. But in the creation of the psychic child of man, the work of art, it is the woman who impregnates the mind of the man with love for her. She stimulates him to his creation.

This was especially true in the case of Goethe. He always needed the stimulation of a woman to get him going creatively, and so he was in a continual state of falling in love.

The type has great executive and political powers. They like people and get along well with others. They can do routine work, can give and receive orders. Their eyes are so keen that they see like eagles, and they love to perceive the secrets of others.

Sometimes their eyes and ears are so penetrating they make others a little nervous. Even when they say nothing others feel their unspoken criticism.

They are in business everywhere, analyzing, classifying and criticizing. They think by controlled association. This method of knowing the steps by which they reached their conclusion makes them good in argument and able law-yers.

There are many engineers and scientific men in this grouping. They also become bankers and insurance men where their statistical bent serves them well. Some of the best surgeons are of this type.

This is on account of their sense perception which enables them to see, touch, and hear with the greatest subtlety.

This type is better in dealing with objects and facts and procedures and processes than with people. While they can report accurately on the external actions of people, they do not understand so well what is going on in the people's minds.

It takes a less realistic type for this. In the same way, the artist of the type tends to emphasize physical beauty and perfection. He cannot express so well the beauty that lies under the surface.

This is the sound, common-sense individual. He is not likely to be swayed by a fallacious idea. He will not be influenced much by the phony enthusiasm of the crack-pot.

Because they are so realistic, the mysterious side of life poses them a problem. They are drawn to it but are unable to use their reason on the subject. This makes them seek occult ideas and all kinds of so-called teachers of strange, hidden knowledge.

The type is interested in power and they are always aware of position and competition in the world. They are willing to overcome great obstacles in their pursuit of power. They can discipline themselves, too. They greatly desire the concentration that leads to the high positions in the world.

This is a serious nature and usually does not exhibit much humour. They are too focused on the facts and the objects of life, the truths of nature and science.

Thomas Edison was a nature of this type. He exemplifies it in the highest degree. He was the greatest inventor the world has ever seen. He was not so much the creator of the new, but the man of method and procedure, intent on the problem of making his idea work.

So he never created a new idea, but he put into form any useful idea that came to his attention. The work of this one man has revolutionized the physical and economic life of this planet.

All he needed to set his love into action was to be posed a problem. Always before he started on a project, he would investigate whether there was a need for the product. He was not the one to embark on a project that nobody wanted. He was not money conscious so much as he was use conscious.

If others were failing with a project, or said that it could not be done, that was all Edison needed to set him off. He would show them. And he was the happiest of men because he was able to get his love into action all the time.

His work was play to him, in the best sense of the term. He could never understand why other men felt the need of a vacation. All he asked was a knotty problem to get to work on.

His inventions, in whole or in part, have given the world electric light and power, the phonograph, the storage battery, the radio, the dynamo, and literally hundreds of smaller inventions, down to waxed and gummed paper.

His was an enormous practicality harnessed to great creative power. He never tackled anything unless he thought it had practical appeal. No pure science for him.  Applied useful science for him every time.

He said he investigated minutely the necessity for any particular invention before he started to spend time on it. He was the ingenious inventor who could, par excellence; apply a scientific truth to a practical end. He was true to his type, a man of method and procedure.

He had boundless energy and iron determination. And what a prodigious amount of work he accomplished! Once, during the years, he was experimenting on the storage battery.

One of his assistants came to him and said, “Isn't it a shame, that with the tremendous amount of work you have done on the battery, you haven't been able to get any results?” “Results?” Edison smiled back at him, “Why, man, I've got a lot of results. I know several thousand things that won't work.”

This was the man who never gave up. His work was play and he enjoyed every minute of it. He is a wonderful example of the type at its best.

The fear-rage type is one of enormous energy. Powerful, brilliant, it sees objects and events with great accuracy. It is closest to surface reality than any other type.

Among the many famous people who are included in it are Victor Hugo, Sir Isaac Newton, Rudolf Steiner, and Milton.

CHECK YOURSELF!

Well, now you have read descriptions of every man, woman and child in this old world! And among them you have found your own Self.

In order to check your findings, take the tests which follow. Remember, it is your first reaction to the question that is asked, your natural reaction, not the one your training-pattern has produced.

What we are seeking is your true Self, the loves, abilities, capacities with which your Creator has endowed you. For only as you discover and develop your loves can you be truly happy and satisfied.

If the results of your tests do not entirely check with the type whose description you believe fits you, go over both description and tests again, with this point in mind: ask yourself, is this my natural reaction?

Some years ago Seabury had a client who seemed to be of a certain type. But she was never satisfied about it. Finally she came into contact with the nurse who had taken care of her when she was very small.

From this woman she learned that her childhood reactions were completely different from those of her later years. It developed that she had had a very powerful mother, and had so taken on the mother's pattern that it seemed to be her own.

The fact that she wasn't satisfied, however, with the type her mother's pattern had placed her in proved that it was not her own. Her new knowledge of herself changed her whole life as her true nature was liberated.

I was interested in reading lately of a man who held an important job in a big government agency. He resigned to give his whole time to painting. He has been fortunate enough to have found his love, and is following that star. Now you, too, can reach for your particular star, and find it!
