LATIC4E.—When angry you are inclined to be very bitter, severe, and cutting, and to use the most forcible language to express your indignation; are apt to be unsparing and, with small Benevolence, merciless ; manifest great energy and executive power; take pleasure in breaking, pulling down, uprooting, and destroying; could assist in cutting off an arm or a leg without faltering, or submit one of your owm limbs unflinchingly to the surgeon, if necessary; are not averse to killing animals ; are fond of flesh meat; and probably like your steaks rare. You need the restraining influences of large Benevolence, Conscientiousness, and Cautiousness to keep your anger and your disposition to punish and destroy within proper bounds. Restrain. [57.] (5.) Full.—You can be forcible, determined, and indignant when aroused, but are not disposed to be vindictive, cruel, or unforgiving. Your anger is more likely to expend itself in sarcasm and bitter invectives than in acts of violence, but you may resort to force if too much provoked ; will manifest a good degree of fortitude and energy in business; and can endure or inflict pain if necessary, but rather shrink from it. [54.] (4.) Average.—Your manifestations are similar to those described in (5), only in a lower degree. Cultivate. [56.] (3.)

Cultivate. [56.] (2.) Small.—You are too tender-hearted ; very deficient in energy ; can neither bear suffering with fortitude nor inflict even necessary pain without great compunction. Cultivate. [56.] (1.) Very Small.—You are almost destitute of this faculty. Cul- tivate. [56.] XXI.—ALIMENTIVENESS. (7.) Very Large.—You enjoy your food very greatly ; are inclined to epicurean habits; find it diflicult to control your appetite; live to eat rather than eat to live ; are in danger of eating more than nature requires, and of ruining your digestive powders by gormandizing. Restrain. [58.] (6.) Large.—Your appetite is generally excellent; you fully appre- ciate the good things of the table ; are in danger of over-eating rather than eating too httle ; give your meals a too important place in your thoughts and in your arrangements; and should guard yourself against excesses.
