is an American characteristic; and gets many things, but allows them to go

10. SECRETIVENESS.

[Illustration: No. 63. LARGE.]

[Illustration: No. 64. SMALL.]

SELF-GOVERNMENT; ability to RESTRAIN feelings; POLICY; MANAGEMENT;
RESERVE; EVASION; DISCRETION; CUNNING. Adapted to man's requisition for
controlling his animal nature. Perverted, it causes duplicity,
double-dealing, lying, deception, and all kinds of false pretensions.

LARGE.--Throws a veil over the countenance, expression, and conduct;
appears to aim at one thing while accomplishing another; loves to surprise
others; is enigmatical, mysterious, guarded, foxy, politic, shrewd,
managing, employs humbug, and is hard to be found out; with Cautiousness
large, takes extra pains to escape detection; with Conscientiousness also

direct question, and is equivocal in character; and though honest in
purpose, yet resorts to many little cunning devices; with large
intellectual organs and Cautiousness, expresses its ideas so guardedly as
to lack distinctness and directness, and hence is often misunderstood;
with large Approbativeness, takes many ways to secure notoriety, and
hoists some false colors; with large Acquisitiveness, employs too much
cunning in pecuniary transactions, and unless checked by still larger
Conscientiousness, is not always strictly truthful or honest; with large
social organs, forms few friendships, and those only after years of
acquaintance, nor evinces half the attachment felt; is distant in society,
and communicates, even with friends, only by piecemeal; divulges very few
plans or business matters to acquaintances, or even to friends; lacks
communicativeness, and has little or no fresh-hearted expression of
feeling, but leaves an impression of uncertainty as to what they are and
mean: p. 96.

VERY LARGE.--Is non-committal; cunning in the extreme; with only average
Conscientiousness, is deceptive, tricky, double-dealing, and unworthy to
be trusted; with large Acquisitiveness added, will cheat as well as lie;
with large Cautiousness, is unfathomable even by acknowledged friends;
with very large Conscientiousness and large moral organs, and only average
or full propensities, is not dangerous, and has a good
