Tendencies
The individual is balanced, has long, refined features, and may have beauty marks all over the body. With age, this person may become heavy or thin, with dry skin and plentiful wrinkles.The facial expression is clear, confident, and calm, though anxiety may cause grimacing.

The person may be either thin or heavy in childhood, but if heavy will become suddenly thin in adolescence. Bronchitis, nose and throat problems, asthma and constipation may occur in childhood. This type of person enjoys a good memory, prefers abstract systems of thought such as mathematics, and is active but rigid, non-emotional, cool, and indifferent. It is virtually impossible to upset the person, who often therefore appears distinguished.

He or she respects rules and principles, keeps promises, has a deep sense of civic duty to all collectivity, and has a strong respect for the law.

The person of this temperament has good health as an adult but may develop colitis, and when ill, gives his or her body to the doctor like a car to the garage mechanic.
