them with the same force he displays in
everything else.

His Heart and Soul in Things

When some one shows great intensity of action directed toward a
definite end we often say "he puts his heart and soul into it." This
phrase is apropos of almost everything the Muscular does. He makes no
half-hearted attempts.

An Enthusiast

"Enthusiasm does all things" said Emerson, and therein explained why
this type accomplishes so much. The reason back of the Muscular's
enthusiasm is interesting.

All emotions powerfully affect muscles. A sad thought flits through your
mind and instantly the muscles of your face droop and the corners of
your mouth go down. Hundreds of similar illustrations with which you are
already familiar serve to prove how close is the connection between
emotions and muscles. The heart itself is nothing more nor less than a
large, tough, leather-like muscle.

Possessing the best equipment for expressing emotion, the Muscular is
constantly and automatically using it.

Therefore he becomes an enthusiast over many things during the course of
his lifetime. This enthusiasm literally burns his way to the things he
wants.

The Plain Talker

When deeply moved this type talks well. If the mental element is also
strong he can become a good public speaker for he will then have all the
qualifications--a powerful voice, human sympathy, democracy and
simplicity.

In private conversation he is inclined to use the verbal hammers too
much and to be too drastic in his statements, accusations, etc. But he
means what he tells you, no more, and usually not much less.

He avoids long words and complicated phrases even when well educated and
speaks with directness and decisiveness.

Straightforward

"Straight from the shoulder" might be used to describe the method of
the pure Muscular in what he does and says. He does not deal in
furbelows, dislikes the superfluous and the superficial. He goes through
life over the shortest roads.

Likes the Common People

Plain folks like himself are the kind this type prefers for friends.
He enjoys them immensely, but does not cultivate as large a number of
them as does the Thoracic, nor have as many "bowing acquaintances" as
the Alimentive.

Snubs the Snobs

The snob is disliked by every one but is the especial aversion of this
type. Being so democratic himself and living his life along such
commonplace lines, he has no patience with people who imagine they
