following character sketch:

You have a finely organized constitution and a good degree of
compactness and power. There is such a balance between the brain
and the body that you are enabled to sustain mental effort with
less exhaustion than most persons. You have an intensity of emotion

minds of others are apt to be used as instruments to accomplish
your objects. For instance, if you were a lawyer, you would arrange
the testimony and the mode of argument in such a way that the best
final result would be achieved. You jud
