rying the opposite sex, but golfing with his male friends. Some individuals live an active sex life with both sexes.

In rolling one pair of dice, there are 6 possible numbers that can come up. With both dice, there are 6 possibilities for each side of the other dice, or 6 x 6 possibilities: that is, 36 possible ways that a roll can be totaled. With four dice (or four basic inherited traits) there are 6 x 6 x6 x6 (1,296) possible answers. Yet, nature has simplified the job of classifying the various human combinations such that we find less than a dozen basic personality types (but variations even within them). And we can test for these types sometimes. by using paper and pencil tests, and interviews, providing we get truthful answers, and providing also that we observe very carefully. The following chart will help us to evaluate what we see (and, while we are observing, we should realize the utter immutability of personality types. . .one type does not, cannot, turn into another type).

•

Since we do not test postively for personality types by looking for the lack of sufficient tracings on the surface of the brain of the mental deficient, or by checking on the brain waves from the forepart of the brain of the psychopath, or determining the quality of malfunction of the automatic nervous system of the psychoneurotic and the cycloid, or testing the imbalance of the hormones of the homosexual, or examining for the combined reaction of the conscience and emotional system of the schizoid....(methods for testing the basic inherited traits), then we must use the tools at hand, specifically, interviews and careful observation. We can hope to get truthful answers in a short personality test, and then depend on close observation to check on their validity:

1. How far did you get in school?

2. What kind of work do you do? How long on each job?

3. Are you married? Do you go with the opposite sex?

4. What do you do in your spare time? Do you drink with others or alone?

5. How is your health?

6. Have you ever been arrested? What for?
