Cerebral gets his name from the cerebrum or thinking part of the
brain, because this is the system most highly evolved in him. Its great
size in the large-headed man causes it to dominate his life.

Thus his chief instinct is cerebration--dreaming, meditating,
visualizing, planning. Since these are the real starters of all progress
this type should be encouraged, with a view to making him more
practical.

The Born Writer

The brain system is large in all men and women who achieve distinction
in writing, or in other lines where the brain does most of the work.
Unless combined with the Muscular, this man writes much better than he
talks and usually avoids speech-making. When the Muscular is combined
with the Cerebral he will be an excellent lecturer or teacher.

Chances for Money-Making

The pure Cerebral has the least likelihood of making money of any of
the types, for the reasons stated in Chapter V.

If he is a pure Cerebral his ideas and writings, however brilliant, will
seldom bring him financial independence unless he gets a Muscular,
Thoracic or Alimentive business manager and strictly follows his
directions.

The Cerebrally Inclined

Any person inclined to the Cerebral type--that is, with a large, wide,
high forehead or a large head for his body--will succeed in some line of
work where study and mental effort are required.

Things to Avoid

The pure Cerebral should avoid every kind of work that calls for
manual or bodily effort, physical strenuosity, lifting of heavy things,
or the handling of large machines. He should avoid every kind of work
that gives no outlet for planning or thinking. He should avoid being an
employer because he sees the employee's viewpoint so clearly that he
lives in his skin instead of his own. This means that he does not get
the service out of employees that other types get.

He is not fitted in any way to rule others, dislikes to dominate them,
feels like apologizing all the time for compelling them to do things,
and is made generally miserable by this responsibility.

Business Partners to Select

The selection of a partner is one of greater importance to the
Cerebral than to any other type, for it is almost impossible for him to
work out his plans alone.

It is as necessary for the Cerebral to have a partner as it is for the
Osseous not to have one.

This partner should be a person largely of the Muscular type, to supply
the practicality the Cerebral lacks.
