So when puffs were the thing this type of woman not only wore puffs but
the most extreme and numerous puffs. When the "sticking-to-the-face"
style was in vogue she bought much bandoline and essayed the sleekest
and shiniest head of all. When the ear-bun raged she changed those same
paper-like curls over night into veritable young sofa cushions.

Always on "Dress Parade"

With intent to keep the spotlight on himself the Thoracic is always on
dress parade. He is vividly aware of himself; he knows what kind of
picture he is making. He is seldom "self-conscious," in the sense of
being timid. When he does happen to be timid he suffers, by reason of
his greater desire for approval, more acutely than any other type.

Affectability His Keynote

Instantaneous reaction to stimuli--with all the reflex actions
resulting therefrom--constitutes the keynote of this type. This makes an
individual who is physiologically and psychologically affectable.

Because life is full of all kinds of stimuli, acting during every waking

sounds than the organ, the Thoracic is a more vibrant individual than

that often looks like pretence to less impulsive people. In other types
it would be, but to the Thoracic it is so natural and normal that he is

"affected."

A Reputation for Flightiness

This lightning-like liveliness of face, body and voice, his quick
replies and instantaneous reactions to everything also cause him to be
called "flighty."

The Quick Thinker

We are prone to judge every one by ourselves. People whose mental or
physical senses are less "keyed-up," less sensitive, call the Thoracic
"rattle-brained."

Usually such a man's brain is not rattled at all; it is working, as all
brains do in response to the messages reaching it, via the telegraph
wires of the five senses.
