Phrenology by Moviestar Jen

January 12th, 2008 4:44 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Research the basic principals of phrenology and then practice them on friends or strangers. Proof should include your phrenological analysis and supporting photos when possible.

I examined GlyphGryph for this task. It was right up my alley considering I just graduated with a psychology degree. I used this website: http://www.bc.edu/bc_org/avp/cas/fnart/phrenology/phrenology_frames.html

My conclusions were:

PHILOPROGENITIVENESS excess - Idolizing and spoiling children by caresses and excessive indulgence; a slave to maternal duties.

COMBATIVENESS deficieny - Cowardice; want of courage and self-defense.

VITATIVENESS excess - Extreme tenacity to life; fear of death.

DESTRUCTIVENESS deficiency - Tameness; inefficiency, and want of resolution.

ACQUISITIVENESS excess - Miserly avarice: theft; extreme selfishness.

IDEALITY excess - Fastidiousness, and a disgust even for the common duties of life.

CONSCIENTIOUSNESS excess - Censoriousness; scrupulousness; remorse; self-condemnation; unjust censure.

SELF-ESTEEM excess - Extreme pride; an arrogant, domineering spirit.

INDIVIDUALITY deficiency - A want of practical knowledge derived from personal observation; inability to notice external objects.

CALCULATION excess - A disposition to count everything.

EVENTUALITY deficiency - Forgetfulness; a poor memory of events.

Excess means there was a bump there, deficiency means an indentation, and the areas that aren't mentioned seemed to be smooth.

GlyphGryph found the conclusions to be way off, and I agreed that there was a reason this method of personality reading didn't endure.
