Synopsis

Man's interest in character is founded on an intensely practical need. In whatsoever relationship we deal with our fellows, we base our intercourse largely on our understanding of their characters. . . . Because the feelings are in part mirrored on the face and body, the experience of mankind has become crystallized in beliefs, opinions, and systems of character reading which are based on physiognomy, shape of head, lines of hand, gait, and even the method of dress and the handwriting. . . . A few of the methods used have become organized into specialties, such as the study of the head. ﷓Introduction, The Foundations of Personality

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Man sinterest in character is founded on an intensely practical need. In whatsoever relationship we deal with our fellows, we base our intercourse largely on our understanding of their characters. The trader asks concerning his customer, Is he honest? and the teacher asks about the pupil, Is he earnest? The friend bases his friendship on his good opinion of his friend; the foe seeks to know the weak points in the hated ones make-up; and the maiden yearning for her lover whispers to herself, Is he true? Upon our success in reading the character of others, upon our understanding of ourselves hangs a good deal of our lifes success or failure. Because the feelings are in part mirrored on the face and body, the experience of mankind has become crystallized in beliefs, opinions and systems of character reading which are based on physiognomy, shape of head, lines of hand, gait and even the method of dress and the handwriting. Some of these all men believe in, at least in part. For example, every one judges character to a certain extent by facial expression, manner, carriage and dress.
