t the Movies

The Cerebral goes to the movies more than any other type save the fat
man, but not for the same reasons. The large-brained, small-bodied man
cares nothing for most of the recreations with which the other types
amuse themselves, so the theater is almost his only diversion. It is
oftentimes the only kind of entertainment within the reach of his purse;
and it deals with many different subjects, in almost all of which the
pure Cerebral has some interest.

Don't Laugh at Same Things

But if you will notice next time you go to a movie it will be clear to
you that the fat people and the large-headed people do not laugh at the
same things. The pie-throwing and Cutey Coquette that convulse the
two-hundred-pounder fail to so much as turn up the corners of the other
man's mouth.

And the subtle things that amuse the Cerebral go over the heads of the
pure Alimentives.

Cares for No Sports

But the fat man and the large-brained man have one trait in common.
Neither of them cares for strenuous sports. The fat man dislikes them
because he is too "heavy on his feet." The Cerebral dislikes them
because he is too heavy at the opposite extremity. He expends what
little energy he has in mental activities so has none left for violent
physical exertion.

Likes Mental Games

This type enjoys quiet games requiring thought. Chess and checkers are
favorites with them.

The Impersonal

The Cerebral is the most impersonal of all types. While the Alimentive
tends to measure everything from the standpoint of what it can do for
him personally, the Cerebral tends to think more impersonally and to be
interested in many things outside of his own affairs.

Lacks Pugnacity

Primitive things of every kind are distasteful to the Cerebral. The
instincts of digestion, sex, hunting and pugnacity are but little
developed in him. He is therefore a man who likes harmony, avoids coming
to blows, and goes out of his way to keep the peace. Such a man does not
go hunting and seldom owns a gun. He dislikes to kill or harm any
creature.

The Cleverest Crook

The Cerebral is usually a naturally moral person. But when lacking in
conscience, either through bad training or other causes, he occasionally
turns to crime for his income. This is because his physical frailty
makes it difficult for him to do heavy work, while his mentality enables
him to think out ways and means of getting a living without it.
