k them,
when they conflict with the stronger faculties; with large Secretiveness,
and moderate Conscientiousness, will be double-faced, and profess more
friendship than possess; with Benevolence large, will cheerfully aid
friends, yet it will be more from sympathy than affection; will have a few
warm friends, yet only few, but perhaps many speaking acquaintances; and
with the higher faculties generally large, will be a true, good friend,
yet by no means enthusiastic; many of the combinations under Adhesiveness
large, apply to it when full, due allowance being made for its diminished
power: p. 66.
AVERAGE.--Is capable of tolerably strong friendships, yet their character
is determined by the larger faculties; enjoys present friends, yet
sustains their absence; with large Acquisitiveness, places business before
friends, and sacrifices them whenever they conflict with money-making;
with Benevolence large, is more kind than affectionate, relishes friends,
yet sacrifices no great deal for their sake; with Amativeness large, loves
the presence of the other sex more than their minds, and experiences less
conjugal love than animal passion; with Approbativeness large, breaks

Conscientiousness only average, cannot be trusted as a friend: p. 64.
MODERATE.--Loves society somewhat, and forms a few, but only few
attachments, and these only partial; has more speaking acquaintances than
intimate friends; with large Combativeness and Destructiveness, is easily
offended with friends, and seldom retains them long; with large
Benevolence, will bestow services, and, with moderate Acquisitiveness,
money, more readily than affection; and with the selfish faculties strong,
takes care of self first, and makes friendship subservient to interest: p.
67.
SMALL.--Thinks and cares little for friends; dislikes copartnership; is
cold-hearted, unsocial, and selfish; takes little delight in company, but
prefers to be alone; has few friends, and, with large selfish faculties,
many enemies, and manifests too little of this faculty to exert a
perceptible influence upon character: p. 67.
VERY SMALL.--Is a perfect stranger to friendship: p. 67.
