General Instruction To The Student

Page 5

Characterology, like every other science, requires application in proportion to the desire for knowledge of the subject. The student must be serious in his purpose, and systematic in his endeavors, in order to acquire the basic rules and principles laid down in this system in the shortest time. He should first read the Lessons without memorizing the details as he will thus obtain a general outline and a surface knowledge of the field. Subsequently, the Lessons should be studied thoroughly, and in order, and the ambitious learner should reinforce study with practice, at every step, if he wishes to develop his power to analyze character to a high degree. Practice is the chief element of success.

In studying the the system of Character Reading set forth in these Lessons, every principle should be applied immediately. All statements are to be proved by experience and the beginner is to constitute himself a critic from the start, but he must not place too great confidence in his early criticisms.

It will be found that one Lesson leads up to another, and that the whole system is built up logically and conclusively.

The side notes throughout these Lessons are to be observed by the student in review and for reference, or, in searching for the location of particular material. They are not to be noted in the continuous reading or study of the Lessons.

The questions at the end of the Lessons are not intended to cover the entire ground contained in the text, but to point out many of the highlights of the science. Students must encompass all intervening matter as well, and to this end they can prepare a list of additional questions themselves and after an interval answer them. They must above all be conscientious in their examination of their own knowledge and ability.

The student should review the questions referring to Lesson I by number and write answers to the same without consulting the text, nor attempting to repeat the words in the text but the substance in his own language. He should then compare his answers with the text and see if his ideas are the same. He should mark off questions which he has not answered correctly and concentrate upon them. Later on he should again write out answers to these questions. By this method of gradual elimination he will ultimately become acquainted, in substance, with the answers to all of the questions. When this has been accomplished, he should tear up his answers and repeat the process util he is thoroughly acquainted with the meaning of the entire lesson.

He should then abandon this lesson and proceed in a similar way with Lesson II, and after the interval which will take place in becoming acquainted with this Lesson he should review Lesson I in the same way, precisely as he did originally, in order to make sure that he has not forgotten what he previously learned. He should then again review Lesson II, and later Lesson III should be studied, and ultimately all lessons in turn. Thus by repetition he will continually fortify himself in regard to the knowledge he has acquired. Ultimately, by this process, he will arrive at an accurate knowledge in regard to each and all of the lessons and of the science of Characterology.

The aim of the student should be, not to acquire the textual information, after the manner of parrot talk, but the substance contained in the text, in a practical, useful form. He should understand the meaning of all that he learns as he proceeds. He must lose no opportunity to apply his knowledge, and to this end should read the character of strangers, as well as friends, and ascertain whether he is right, or wrong. Courage is the watchword of him who would be a scientific reader of the character of his fellow men.

The following sample reading, made at sight by the author will serve to illustrate the practical application of the system. The subject was an employee in a Chicago Bank, a gentleman about fifty years of age.

I studied carefully the subject whom I was about to analyze, taking both a front and profile view. In physical proportions he was somewhat above medium height, of slender build, active and lithe. His hands were thin, white, and evidently not accustomed to hard work. His head was large, his forehead was broad, of medium height and slanted slightly backward. His chin also slanted backward moderately. In complexion he was a medium florid blond, and when he became excited while talking, veins stood out on his forehead. He had an arched nose, large, but not thick ears, blue eyes and light brown hair. In this case I gave my reasons as I made the analysis. I said to the gentleman:

The author dedicates this course in "Characterology" to the studious, to the ambitious, and to all who wish to surpass their fellow men. Anyone, by a study of the rules and principles of Character Analysis as laid down in the system, can soon become an expert in reading his fellow men.

UNESCO's Director-General highlights key role of education in poverty eradication October 17, 2003 - Poverty presents a threat to world security that affects each and every one of us, says the Director-General of UNESCO, Koïchiro Matsuura in his message on the occasion of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. Some three billion women and men live on less than two dollars a day. Eight million children die each year as a result of poverty. But poverty is not inevitable, Mr Matsuura added. More

Характерология - направление в немецкой психологии 20 века, трактующее человеческую индивидуальность как душевно-телесную целостность, первичную по отношению к миру, в котором она живет, и определяемую в своем поведении изначально присущими ей свойствами.
