ANALYSIS
SECTION 1
Your General Intelligence

1 (a). you learned very easily you did not
If
learn well. Take more time for your mind to
absorb what you learn before you conclude that
you really know it.
(b). If it was very bard for you to learn,
your feelings interfered with your thinking.
Be less sensitive and you will learn easier.
(c). If you learned in an average way,
neither too fast nor too slow, you learned just

right. Keep it up.
2 (a). you didn't have to study much you
If
are probably spoiled and think you know more
than you really do.
(b). If you had to study very hard, some-
body scared you into thinking you know less
than you really do.
(c). If you put in a reasonable amount of
time on your studies, your mind is working
.
well and you will get ahead.

3 (a). If your standing in school was very
high, you have neglected other important mat-
ters that you need in life to be well rounded
out as a character.
(b). your standing was very low you have

If
either neglected your schooling or you are suf-
fering from fear of yourself.
(c). If your standing was average, you have
given your attention to many things in life
that makes you a broad and well-adjusted per-
sonality.
4 If you did not keep up with your
(a).
classes you are suffering from fear in com-
peting with your fellows or else you cared too
much for pleasure and too little for work.
(b). If you kept up with your classes, you
did what was expected of you and you can be
depended on to do the same now. You learned
to take responsibility early.
5 (a). your teachers said that you were a
If
nice, well behaved child, you are probably too
soft and tender to make much headway or you
are afraid to assert yourself.
(b). If your teachers said that you were
hard to manage and that you would never
amount to anything, you may be too independ-
ent to get along in the world.
(c). If your teachers didn't make any par-
ticular comment about you, then you got along
fairly well and can be expected to do likewise
at present.
6 (a). If you were interested in some sub-
jects and not at all in others, you have been
prevented from acquiring a broad, general
knowledge through petty likes and dislikes. If
you do only those things that you like and
avoid those that you dislike, you will not ac-
quire a balanced personality. Be interested in
anything that exists and you will take a great
step forward.
7 (a). If your education is consistent with
the opportunities that you had, you will take
advantage of your chances for advancement
today.
(b). If you neglected your opportunities in
the past, be careful to prevent this trait from
holding you back now.
8 (a). If your power of attention and con-
centration is good, you need not hesitate to un-
dertake anything within the limitations of
your training. You are bound to succeed.
(b). If your power of attention and con-
centration is bad, you should try to find some-
thing enjoyable about the thing you are con-
centrating on. Gaining pleasure is the secret
of concentration.
9 (a). If you observe well you can rely on
your actions.
(b). If you do not observe well, you will
make mistakes easily. Make it a habit to think
before you talk and look before you act.
10 (a). If you have been capable, in the
HOW TO PSYCHO-AXAI.TZI; YOURSELF li
positions you have held you can use this ex-

perience in advancing yourself with no thought
of failure.
(b). you have not been capable, you are
If
either unsuited to the kind of- work you have
done or you do not trust your own ability. Get

at the truth by analyzing yourself impartially.
11 (a). If you are considered to have good
common sense, then you have no right to un-
der-estimate your own ability. Trust yourself
at least as much as the other fellow trusts you.
(b). If you are not considered to have com-
mon sense, then proceed to find out how you
put your worst self forward. Common sense
is nothing but the free expression of your hon-
est opinion.
12 (a). If your advice is sought by others
it is proof that you are considered to have
good common sense.
and I shall be surprised to see how easy it is
sign that you are holding yourself away from
people too much. Let go of yourself, take a
chance with your own brain and you may be
surprised to see how easy it is to be a per-
sonality.
13 (a). If you are quick in passing judg-
ment, you cannot rely on yourself.
(b). If you are impulsive you will say the
wrong thing at the wrong time.
IS HOW TO PSYCHO-aNALYZE YOURSELF
(c). If you are slow in passing judgment,
it means that you are constant, reliable, and I
want- facts before you judge.

14 (a). If you are definite of purpose you
know what you want and that is half the bat-
tle in life.
(b). If you are vague of purpose, bend all
your efforts toward making a choice and then
stick to it through thick and thin.
15 (a). If you plan with good foresight you
are sure of a financial success and there is
nothing too big for you to undertake.
(b). If you do not plan with good foresight,
be cautious and study all angles of a question
before you act. It will pay.
SECTION 2
Your Activity
16 (a). you were lively and active in
If
childhood, you had the very best priparation
for getting the most from life. But be sure to
keep it up now. Don't let the fires of youth
die down.
(b). If you were lazy and sluggish in child-
hood you are probably the same now. Rouse
yourself to a realization of the natural powers
of your brain instead of dragging through life
with little interest.
HOW TO PSYCHO-ANALYZE YOURSELF *"
17 (a). If you enjoyed games in which you

played with the other children you are now
a social creature and enjoy company. Success
requires mixing with other folks and you can't
begin to learn this too early.
(b). If you kept away from the other chil-

dren and preferred to play by yourself, you
may now be wondering why you don't get
along better in the world. You will lose much
by keeping away from people so make it a
point in your life to seek out others and be a
mixer, whether you feel like it or not.
18 (a). If you showed much imagination in

your play you are prepared to work out origi-
nal ideas and to become a leader.
(b). If you showed little imagination as a

child you will be much better off to work for
someone else. However you can cultivate your
imagination by reading good books.
19 (a). If you are naturally talkative, it
shows that you have much energy at your dis-
posal, which, turned in a usefut direction,
if
will make you It will be better if

a success.
you select the kind of work that will furnish
you with plenty of people to talk to.
(b). If you a^e inclined to be silent you are
better adapted to work where you are not in
2S> HOW TO PSYCHO-ANALYZE YOURSELF
contact with many people. With this trait you
can also be a success, but you will do better
with your hands than with your tongue.
20 (a). If you are energetic, busy yourself
with work that uses up your energy and makes
you glad to rest. You will not be happy un-
less you have plenty of outlet for your energy.
(b). If you are slow or sluggish, your mind
is being held back by lack of interest in the
busy world. Observe everything more closely
and try to get some fun out of anything you
do. Fun makes for more speed.
21 (a). you show a tendency to be over-
If
active with much push and tension it means
that you are trying- too hard to make a show
of interest when you do not really feel it. Sin
cere willingness never calls for exaggerated
activity.Push and tension rather show that
you are inwardly fighting what you are do-
ing.

starts,
of childhood when you displayed a sudden in
terest in something and then soon tired of it.
The grown-up mind keeps at a thing for its
usefulness; the child mind is limited by its
likes and dislikes.
23 (a). If you spend your energy sensibly
you are growing in strength of character every

day and you feel satisfied as you view the re-
sults of your efforts.
(b). If you spend your energy in useless
ways you will always be looking for some-
thing to satisfy you without finding it. It is
an endless chase that leads nowhere, giving
you no actual pleasure.
24 (a). If you are practical you view life
according to the facts; you deal with actual
values which make your character dependable.
(b). If you are not practical you are a
dreamer. The great difference between things
as they are and as you imagine them to be will
make your actions unreliable. Come down to
earth and deal with facts instead of fancies if.
you wish to improve your position in life.
25 (a). If you can use tools well it means
that your thoughts are well connected with
your actions. Anything useful done with the
hands is a proof that the person is practical.
Thought supplies the theory but action proves
it either true or false.
(b). you cannot use tools well, begin to
If
practice with some simple tool, whether it be
a hammer, a needle, a brush or a machine, ac-
cording to whether you are a man or a woman.
With practice you will gain skill that will do
much to make you think along practical lines.
SECTION 3
Your Estimate of Yourself

26 (a). If you are self-reliant you have ac-
quired one of the greatest assets in life. All
you need to do is to keep learning something
new every day and you will make your every
act more and more valuable.
(b).If you are self-depreciative with a feel-
ing of inferiority you are suffering from a dis-
ease of the emotions which clouds your esti-
mate of yourself. The cure lies in doing things
regardless of what you feel. Make it a strict
rule never to depreciate anything that you do
and you will soon lose all feelings of inferi-
ority. Doing things makes you improve. De-
preciating yourself keeps you stationary.
27 (a). If you are too dependent for your
comfort on the opinions that others have of
ycu, your best qualities will ne/er be brought
out. You will be forever chasing after the
other fellow instead of expressing what is
really in you. Do what you think is best, re-
gardless of what anyone thinks and you will
attract the favorable notice and respect of most
people. If you exaggerate your efforts to please
others they will think less of you.
28 (a). If you are conceited, egotistic, given
HOW TO PSYCHO- ANALYZE YOURSELF 23
to self-admiration, or vain, you are suffering

from a secret fear of your own inferiority. If
you are a person who accomplishes much you
will not need to hide behind such childish feel-
ings as those named above. To cure yourself,
pay attention to what you actually do more
than to what you think.
2'9 If you pay unusual attention to
(a).
dress your personality will suffer. Exagger-
ated adornment of the body is a relic of sav-
agery and entirely out of harmony with good
sense and a mind interested in progress.
30 (a). you are honest with yourself you
If
will depreciate your own value nor
neither
exaggerate it. You will realize that you have
your faults just as everyone has; you will con-
sider yourself no better nor any worse than the
other fellow.
(b). If you are not honest with yourself you
will spend much time
trying to show people
how you are from the rest, either
different
superior or inferior. It all amounts to the
same thing: dishonesty with self.
31 (a). If you emphasize your dislike for
sham it is a sign that you are struggling in
your own mind with sham. You will emphasize
only that which you yourself are most inter-
ested in, either positively or negatively.
24 HOW TO PSYCHO -ANALYZE YOURSELF
32. If you seem to be genuine you will
(a).
express no exaggerated statements about your-
self or anyone else. Your actions will be ef-
ficient and you will have no need to show off.
(b). you do not seem to be genuine it is

If
because you refuse to accept yourself as you
are. You are spoiling your own value by try-
ing to be other than what you are. If you
learn to accept yourself at your real value there
will be little that is objectionable in your per-
sonality.
SECTION 4
Your Attitude Toward People

33 (a). If you make friends easily your
personality is well adapted to the world. Your
work should bring you in contact with many
people if you wish to be happy.
(b). you do not make friends easily, real-

If
ize that it is your attitude toward people that
is at fault. You are suffering from the wrong
idea that you are different from the rest of us.
Kill this idea and the rest is easy.
34 (a). If you are bashful with strangers

you do not trust yourself and you are afraid
that they will find out what you are really
thinking. What you are thinking is not as

bad as you think it is and other people think
likewise without feeling it as keenly as you do.
Search your mind and you will find that this is
true, in spite of the fact that you may not be-
lieve it at first.
(b).If you are at ease with strangers it
shows that you have grown up and that your
feelings are not the masters of your- thinking.
35 (a). If there is a marked difference in
your behavior with friends, family or strangers,
you are still clinging to a childish conception
of the world in which favoritism plays a big
part. Try to realize that all people deserve the
same fair treatment and you may be surprised
to see how much better you will get along with
friends, family and strangers.
36 (a). you resemble in your ways and
If
characteristics other members of your family,
you are losing a great deal of pleasure in life
by sacrificing your own personality. You are
an individual who can develop best as you
bring out your own qualities. By imitating
some member of your family intentionally or
unintentionally, you lose your individuality.
Stop imitating other people and be just your-
self.
37 (a). If you show a marked preference
for, or great dependence on any member of
your family your interests will be tied up in
the same narrow circle in which you grew up.
You cannot be independent as long as this con-
tinues, so widen your interests to include others
outside the family. Dependence on the family
will keep you a child always.
(b). If you show a marked antagonism it

betrays your secret defense against the deep
interest you really have in that person. A rela-
tive who irritates you occupies too much of
your attention. If you don't care about a per-
son you won't give him enough attention to re-
sult in irritation. \
38 (a). When
a child if you played freely
with other children your present attitude to-
ward other people is normal because you i
learned early in life to adjust yourself to the

actions of those around you.
(b). If you did not play freely with other
children you are apt to be too retiring or ex-
clusive to get ajong well in the world.
39 (a). If you are you may succeed

selfish I
in your undertakings, but you will get little

real satisfaction out of it because people will I
not be attracted to you. They may fear you, .
but fear is not respect. The respect of your as-

sociates is worth more than money.
(b). If you a"re kind-hearted and do not car-
HOW TO Pi./CHO-ANALYZE YOURSELF 27
ry this trait to impractical extremes, you can

make a financial success and yet gain the af-
fection and respect of your associates.
40 (a). If you do not have a genuine re-
spect for the rights of others you will be as wel-
come as a burglar. Live and let live. If you
"hog the road," people will either shove you
out of their way or try to avoid you.
41 (a). you cannot co-operate with others
If
you have not realized the important fact that
you are absolutely dependent upon other peo-
ple for your food, shelter, clothes and all the
conveniences that make life worth living. By
co-operating with others you are merely doing
your small share toward paying your debt and
keeping the social scheme going.
42 (a). If you are inclined to criticize others
much you are trying too hard to hide your own
faults from yourself. The more you are aware
of your own faults the more tolerant you will
be of humanity in general and less inclined to
criticize.
43 (a). If you do not take advice well and
think you are always right you are acting like
a spoiled child, who, cannot tolerate the idea
that he may be wrong. Grow up and realize
that we all need advice at times.
44 (a). If you are stubborn and set in your
opinions you had better find a nice, secluded
island where you won't be bothered with opin-
ions other than your own. Wake up to the
fact that there are many ways of viewing every
situation. Set opinions, like concrete, are apt
to crack in time.
45 (a). If you do not allow yo'ur mistakes
to be pointed out to you, you will not occupy
an enviable position in life. Mistakes are valu-
able if you profit by them, so be glad when
anyone takes the trouble to correct you.
46 (a). If you are apt to blame others for
your mistakes you will suffer from a painful I
struggle in your mind between the pride that

will not allow you to admit your mistake and
the inner realization of your dishonesty in
blaming someone else. If you will play fair,
regardless of the consequences, your mind will l
1
clear up so that you will not make any serious

mistakes.
47 (a). If you are too trustful of others
you may actually tempt someone to deceive
and cheat you. If you are too suspicious you
will miss many a good opportunity to advance
yourself. The safest way and the way that is
fair to all with whom you come in contact is
to be trustful or suspicious as far as the actual
facts justify you. Do not go too far with either
of these traits for they have wrecked many a i
brilliant career.
48 (a). If you are resentful, the "chip on

your shoulder" will influence your thinking no
matter what you do. Habitual resentment pois-
ons your nervous system so it not only inter-
feres with a favorable attitude toward people,
but actually makes you sick.
(b). If you are forgiving you will find that
people will irritate you less and less. Your at-
titude will appear clearly in your expression
and will disarm those who would ordinarily
try to make you- uncomfortable.
49 (a). you hold grudges long your dis-
If
position on edge most of the time. You can-
is
not do yourself justice with this attitude among
civilized people. Grudges belong in the days
of feuds. If you want your share of our com-
mon privileges you will have to sacrifice this
trait.
50 (a). If you are easily offended you are
being controlled by a secret feeling of guilt.
The guilty always proclaim their innocence
the loudest and feel the worst when accused.
(b). If you are not easily offended, attempts
to hurt you will only stir up your sense of
humor and leave you well able to take care
of yourself.
51 (a). If you see slights where none are
int?nded you are insulting your own intelli-
gence. You are looking for trouble. It is com-
mon knowledge that those who seek trouble

usually find it.
52 (a). If you are jealous or envious you are

fighting the recognition of your own inferior-
ity. Instead of sitting back and bemoaning your
fate, feeling sorry for yourself and "eating
yourself up" with envy, use some of this wasted
energy to find out how the other fellow gets
what you want. The result may surprise you
as you find yourself getting into action instead
of dreaming and wishing.
53 (a). If you think the world treats you ill

you will not get along with the world until
you realize that the way you are treated by
other people depends mostly on your attitude.
If you walk around with the idea that you will
be mistreated you will unintentionally invite
such treatment and indirectly bring about just
such situations.
54 (a). If you feel satisfied with your sur-
roundings you will work well and think so
clearly that you will pass naturally to better
surroundings. It is a mistake to think that
satisfaction with your surroundings will keep
you there indefinitely. Practical experience
proves just the opposite to be true.
(b). If you do not feel satisfied with your
surroundings you will not handle the situation
well enough to advance yourself. You may
change often, but find yourself "jumping out
of the frying pan into the fire/' Do your best
with what you have and you will make steady
progress forward.
55 (a). If you adapt yourself readily to new

surroundings you are sure to get along well
with any and all kinds of people. You have
learned one of nature's most important lessons:
Life itself depends upon adjustment to sur-
roundings.
(b). If you do not adapt yourself readily to

new surroundings you have the mistaken no-
tion that what you have had in the past is
better than that offered you in the present.
Progress goes hand in hand with change. Drop
the past and look to the present and future if
you want to succeed.
SECTION 5
Your Efficiency
56 (a). If you are conscientious you will do
what expected of you without making any
is
great fuss about it. You will trust yourself to

go ahead and do your work efficiently.
(b). If you are not conscientious you are
your own worst enemy because you are pur-

suing a policy that will injure you in the long
run. Be square and fair, no matter what work
you are doing. It pays.
57 (a). you have a natural feeling of re-
If
sponsibility you may be sure that you are con-
scientious.
(b). If you are unusually scrupulous it is
a sign that you do not trust yourself and that!
you are afraid you will do something dishon-i
est. Do not exaggerate honesty for it usually
hides dishonesty.
58. (a). you are easily blocked in your
If r
activity by scruples and doubts there is a dis-;

honest intention lodged in your mind that youu
are unaware of. Think it over calmly, find the
thought that is causing trouble and you will
control it so it will be no longer in your way.
As you free yourself more and more from such!!
hidden thoughts you will become more efficient.
59 (a). you are finicky in your demands
If
for precision, system or order, you are sacri-i
f icing your comfort and originality of thought
for an exaggerated idea. One usually exagger-'

ates cleanliness and order by developing a fear
of dirt and disorder very early in life. Such a
fear is, of course, unreasonable later on be-
cause common sense will prevent the unclean
habits of childhood. Slaves to system are sel-
dom efficient, because they always do things

in the same inflexible way.
60 (a). If you show an exaggerated demand
for truthfulness and justice you are too busy
resisting a secret inclination toward lying and
injustice. When you recover from the shock of
this statement sufficiently to discover its foun-
dation in fact you will be far more liberal in
your demands and decidedly more efficient
with your work.
61 (a). you are inclined to be a leader,
If
get into a line of work where you are direct-
ing others tif you would be efficient. It will
reduce your possibilities of development if you
undertake routine work. What you need is an
opportunity to express your own ideas.
(b). If you are inclined to be led, stick to
routine work where your ability will be best
rewarded. Put yourself under the supervision
of someone who can teach you self-reliance. In
time, association with such a person may in-
spire you and make of you a leader.
62 (a). If you show much demand for self-
assertion, interest yourself in some activity
that will give you an outlet for this impulse.
To habitually hold back the desire to assert
yourself will reduce your efficiency. Good out-
lets for you are business, e^rcise, games, mu-
sic, art or public speaking.
(b). you do not show much demand for
If
self-assertionyou are probably afraid of your-
self. You need to let yourself go more and ex-
periment in expressing your opinions, regard-
less of your feelings. After you try a few
times you will gain courage and discover that
you can assert yourself just the same as anyone
else.
63 (a). If you are courageous, see to it that

your courage does not become exaggerated to
the point where it makes you show off and
appear to be a bully. True courage is never
expressed unless aroused by necessity.
(b). If you are cowardly you have had
either no chance to use the natural powers of
your mind and body or you have been badly
trained. Go oWr your training as a child and
you will discover that you were taught to be
cowardly. Throw this kind of training over-
board and think for yourself.
64 (a). If you are imitative you will pro-
duce little that will attract the notice of the
world. Stop your hero-worship and look with-
in yourself for ideas. Let your thoughts come
out without criticism or comparison with what
someone else thinks and you will be original.
65 (a). If you look at things as they are
you are efficient because you do not exagger-
ate values. You deal with things as you find

them, regardless of whether you like it or not.
(b). you look at things as you want them
If
to be you will have constant difficulty because
your expectation will not be fulfilled by real-
ity and the facts. Better to seek the facts, no
matter how unpleasant than to be disappointed
and fooled by false and exaggerated expecta-
tion.
66 (a). If you are fanciful or over-imagina-
tive you can expect small success in life un-
less itbe in the field of art, the stage, writing
fiction,etc. In everyday life, an exaggerated
imagination is a great handicap. Face life asTt
is and stop acting as if your existence is but
a fairy-tale of childhood.-
67 (a). you are inclined to build air-cas-
If
tles, see to that your attention is not taken
it
away from present demands on your time. Oth-

erwise your air-castles will never come true and
your ambition will be needlessly wasted. Every-
thing you accomplish NOW is a solid brick in
the structure of desires attained in the future.
68 (a). you get a great deal of satisfac-

If
tion out of day-dreaming you cannot expect to
get much from the world of reality. Day-dream-
ing shows what you wish for in a childish way.
If you will stop day-dreaming and seek satis-
3G HOW TO PSYCHO-ANALYZE YOURSELF
faction only from something that actually ex-
ists you improve your mind and increase
will
your percentage of efficiency in everything you
undertake.
69 (a). If you are apt to lie, the expression
on your face will be such as to make people dis-
trust you, even though you are totally unaware
of this peculiarity. Telling the truth stands for
a clear-working mind, reliability and ever-grow-
ing influence. Inclination to lie stands for false
prepenses, shallowness and distrust of your own
value. If you don't value yourself sufficiently
to show yourself as you are truthfully, other
people will place the same valuation on your
personality.
SECTION 6
Your Moods
70 (a). If you are cheerful and light-hearted
you can meet almost any difficulty in the ordi-
nary run of affairs. You will not be easily
turned from your way by misfortune. People
will be glad to see you and will be refreshed
by your personality.
(b). If you are not cheerful you are taking
yourself and your affairs too seriously. They
appear to you to be burdens of great weight.
A calm appraisal of your duties will soon show

you that exaggeration of attitude makes them
appear much heavier than they really are. Stop
over-estimating your responsibility and you will
not only enjoy life more, but you will do your
work much better.
71 (a). you are serious you will command

If
respect and people will come to you with im-
portant matters. Being serious can be carried
to extremes, however, so be careful that you
do not look as if you are carrying the whole
world on your shoulders. It isn't healthy and
the tension of over-seriousness prevents clear ,.
dependable thinking.
(b). If you are not inclined to take any-
thing seriously your personality will be child-
ish, seeking for pleasure and ignoring the dis-
comfort of any real effort for progress. If you
stop to think of what you are losing by such
an attitude you will soon take life more seri-
ously.
72 (a). If you are enthusiastic you will have

a ready supply of energy available and many
difficulties will be swept away. But do not
allow enthusiasm to take the place of good com-
mon sense. Know just what it is you are doing
and intend to do before throwing yourself into
a situation.
(b). If you are not enthusiastic then you
are inwardly unwilling to do what you are try-
ing to do. Will power can never take the place
of inner desire and enthusiasm is a sign of
that desire. Find out why you are resisting a
task, remove that resistance by an intelligent
adjustment free of all anger or fear and you
will release a well-spring of enthusiasm.
73 (a). If you have a good sense of humor,
don't be afraid to use it. Humor is the back-
bone of an attractive personality. Many a seri-
ous problem can be solved by injecting a lit-
tle humor into the situation.
(b). If you do not have a good sense of hu-

mor, your early training has been neglected in
this respect. Practice standing before a mirror,
looking at your* own image until you begin to
smile. As you learn to think of yourself wit*h
amusement your sense of humor will develop.
If you can take a joke on yourself you will
learn to give one.
74 (a). If you are optimistic and hopeful
you are on the right track, provided your op-
timism is based on facts. False optimism is
based on too vivid an imagination and leads
eventually to disappointment.
(b). If you are not optimistic or hopeful,
get busy at once with anything that requires
action. As long as you keep trying you will

become more hopeful, for action will overcome
any difficulty.
75 (a). you are despondent you are prob-
If
ably wishing too much and doing too little.
Worry is something half done. If you do all
that can possibly be done you will not be de-
spondent, but rather relieved, even if you do not
accomplish all that you wish. Action always
relieves mental strain.
76 (a). If you get despondent without ap-

parent reason, your feelings are working over-
time, driven by imaginary troubles that have
no existence outside of your own mind. Look
close, see how you are fooling yourself and
you will discover the world to be not such a
bad place after all.
77 (a). you make an honest attempt to

If
overcome your despondency you will eventually
succeed in doing so. Once you find the child-
ish feelings that feed this mood your common
sense will do the rest.
(b). If you do not make attempts to over-
come your despondency then you would rather
brood than not. In fact you secretly enjoy pity-
ing yourself which may be the real reason for
your despondency. You are having a dream
of unreality. Wake up and use the faculties
nature endowed you with. If you won't use
them they will rust.
78 (a). If you crave sympathy in your de-
pression you are confessing the cause of your
depression. You are merely using this method
of gaining attention to yourself and getting
people to feel sorry for you. Better attract at-
tention hy doing something useful and you
will gain greater pleasure by having people seek
your company instead of shunning you.
79 (a). If your mood changes easily you are
not well balanced. There is too great difference
between your thinking and your feeling. In-
stead of sacrificing your thinking to let your
feelings take the upper hand, practice the op-
posite of letting reason keep your feelings in
their proper place.
80 (a). If you are easily frightened you are
exaggerating your own safety. The things that
frighten you are probably not dangerous at all.
Your reason tells you this but your feelings will
not believe it because you act on feelings in
stead of reason. Fear keeps you childish; rea-
son makes you grow up. Make it a habit not to
take your feelings seriously and your fears will
be turned into useful actions.
81 (a). If your mood has been influenced by

; ny special occurrence or circumstance, do not
try to forget it or driveout of your mind.

it
If you do this, the memory will become im-

bedded in your feelings and for years to come
may affect you when you don't realize it. Keep
the matter before you, no matter how painful it
may be, until your good sense has absorbed the
pain and you have relieved your feelings by
adjusting yourself. Feelings can only wish and
you may be wishing for something impossible
that dates back years* ago, out of harmony with
your present^ life. Refresh your memory of
painful incidents, take a good square look at
them and the relief that you will feel will
reward you for your trouble.
82 (a). If you are irritable and quick-tem-
pered, let your irritation drain itself off in your
mind instead of your actions. Realize the extent
of your irritation fully, look at it from all
angles and it will disappear without having to
"bawl someone out." The latter method makes
for trouble and more irritation. Quick temper
is a relic of your childhood, out of date and in-
consistent with your intelligence.
83 (a). If you get over your irritation quick-
ly you probably "flare up" quickly. Sudden ir-
ritation is sometimes the most violent. Get used
to considering the intention of the person who
irritates you and this thought will reduce your
intensity and make you less sensitive.
(b). your irritation lasts long you have
If
a chroitfc condition of irritation in the privacy
of your mind. You may not be aware of this
all the time as the deeper it is hidden in your
mind the less you will reajize it except by a
general feeling of -crankiness that seems to
have no connection with the original matter
that irritated you. Chronic irritation indicates
the presence of secret wishes in your mind that
you do not like to admit. If you will let your-
self go sufficiently to recognize these hidden
desires, you will begin to cure yoursel'f of this
personality disease.
SECTION 1
The Opposite Sex

34 (a). If your personal attitude is in har-
mony with your own sex you will talk, act,
dress and be interested in things characteristic
of your sex. If this is true in your case you
are taking full advantage of your natural quali-
fications.
(b). If your personal attitude is not in har-
mony with your own sex your personality is
warped. A man cannot have womanish ways
nor a woman mannish ways without paying
the penalty in a loss of personality and mental
balance. Your natural impulses which come
from your own sex will always struggle against

any acquired imitation of the opposite sex. Dis-
cover wherein you are doing this and try to
realize how impossible it is to defeat nature's
plan for you. Talk, think, dress and act ac-
cording to your own sex and you will make of
yourself what you should be.
85 (a). If you are not natural and at ease

with the opposite sex you are afraid that some-
one will discover the objectionable thoughts
that you have in your mind. You are embar-
rassed by your own desires and the opposite
sex merely serves to arouse such thoughts.
Either stop thinking such thoughts or stop be-
ing ashamed of them.
86 (a). If you are especially attracted by

the opposite sex you are normal- But don't let
strong that it occupies
this attraction get so
the principal your thoughts. Leave
place in
some room for development along other lines,
too.
(b). If .you are not especially attracted by

the opposite sex your training has made you
unnatural and you are therefore one-sided.
Such attraction furnishes a valuable outlet for
the feelings. Without it you will be handicapped
so do not allow a prejudiced attitude to keep
you from your natural rights in this respect
87 (a). If you are a man attracted by older
women you are looking for someone to lean on
as you once depended upon your mother. Such
an attraction works against your personal de-
velopment.
(b). If you are a woman attracted by men
older than yourself, you are normal, provided
there is not too great a difference in the ages.
(c). you are a man attracted by younger
If
women, you are normal, taking your responsi-
bility naturally.
(d). you are a woman attracted "by young-
If
er men you are either assuming a man's re-
sponsibility or you have the feeling of mother-
ing these younger men as if they were your
children. This will not work out practically
and will retard your development.
83 (a). If you have had many love affairs
your feelings are over-developed and have not
kept pace with your thinking. You have the
tendency to flit from one person to another.
This makes you unstable, a trait that can be
easily transferred to your everyday life with
unfortunate effect. Try to settle down to a.
choice and then stick to it, making the best
of it even if it does not fulfill all your ex-
pectations.
(b). If you have had few love affairs you
have been steady with your feelings and have

not allowed them to run away with you. But
be sure that you do not shut out affection from
your life for it contributes much to the mak-
ing of a successful personality.
(c). If you have had no love affairs you are
either cold and selfish or the victim of fear and
self-consciousness. Whatever the cause may be,
try to interest yourself in someone of the op-
posite sex. you cannot do this turn your af-
If
fection toward some worthy object in life. Oth-
erwise your personality will lack the spark
that means so much in making you stand out
from the common mass of human beings.
89 (a). If the love affairs affected you much
you have shown yourself to be earnest, sincere
and deserving of confidence. Many people are
deeply affected by their love affairs, however,
because they are more in love with themselves
than the loved one and they find it very hard
to give up what they want. You can judge
yourself in this respect.
(b). If your love affairs were superficial
you were interested only in your own welfare.
Love requires sacrifice. If you are unwilling
to give of yourself you can never love deeply.
90 (a). If you are sentimental you will not
be very successful in your love affairs. Senti-
ment is opposed to judgment as a general rule
and the latter is as essential in lov* as in busi-
ness. Judgment inspires respect; mere senti-
ment destroys it.
If you have desire for children your
91 (a).
mind well adjusted to thp natural impulse of
is
reproducing yourself. This agreement with the

most important phase of life gives added value
to your personality.
(b). If you do not have a desire for children
you are being misled by the unfortunate ten-
dency of the times to seek pleasure and avoid
discomfort and responsibility. The habitual
pleasure seeker cannot have a strong person-
ality.
92 (a). If you are particularly modest or
prudish you are unconsciously defending your-
self against your own improper thoughts. False
modesty is a protection from the recognition
of such thoughts. "Evil to him who evil
thinks." Without this foundation extreme mod-
esty is impossible.
If you are sensibly modest you
(b). are
merely observing our ordinary social customs •
in a normal way. This is true and sane mod-

esty. Extremes either way weaken the per-
sonality.
93 (a). If you show a special demand for
moralizing, you are entirely too busy trying
to show how much different you are than the-
person being discussed. This means that you

secretly feel guilty. If this isnot so you will
not insist on bringing up the subject and you
will be more tolerant of others.
(b). If you show no special demand for

moralizing you realize in a broad way that the
frailties of human beings are less the result of
intentional wrong-doing than the effect of train-
ing and special circumstances. This is a lib-
eral view and typical of a fine personality.
94 (a). If you are easily disgusted with the

opposite sex you have a narrow notion of the
superiority of your own sex. This is no proof
of such superiority. Each has its place in the
world's affairs. Being disgusted is a way of
making you feel self-satisfied and this feeling
is a weakness in your personality.
95 (a). If you have any special tendency

toward cruelty, teasing or tantalizing you have
not yet overcome the childish method of gain-
ing pleasure by hurting others. A child may
laugh with glee as he pulls someone's hair, but
such enjoyment is hardly consistent with a
mature personality. Grow up in this respect
by seeking higher forms of enjoyment wherein
you give others pleasure instead of pain.
SECTION 8
Your General Interests

96 (a). If you are interested in your work
you are not only working well, but on the
road to higher and more responsible duties.
You will succeed.
If you are not interested in your work
(b).
you are wasting your time and retarding your
progress. Either get into something else as
soon as possible or enlarge your interests in
things aside from your work. Otherwise you
will stagnate, going backward instead of for-
ward. It is never too late to change, no mat-
ter what your age, provided you can bring gen-
uine interest and enthusiasm to bear on your
efforts.
97 (a).If your work gives you actual sat-
isfaction you will be happy and successful pro-
vided you do not eliminate all other interests.
Remember "all work and no play makes Jack
a dull boy." Your mind will tire with monoto-
ny, so distribute your interests.
(b). If you gain satisfaction from other
pursuits than your work, try to stir up the
same feelings of pleasure when you work. Work
without pleasure is a drudgery. All you need
to do is to realize that pleasure depends upon

your viewpoint. Work/ can also be play if you
are keen enough to remove your personal preju-
dice against work. Pleasure from work gives
the highest type of satisfaction because it fur-
nishes you with tangible results of your ef-
forts.
98 (a). If you are ambitious you can ex-

pect to accomplish the unusual provided you
do not neglect that all-important element ac- —
tion. Ambition is only an indication of desire;
action is the fulfillment of that desire.
(b). If you are not ambitious your estimate
of yourself is faulty. You think of yourself ac-
cording to a, standard that you acquired from
someone who suffocated your natural desires.
Ambition is interest in yourself. Discard your
acquired notion of yourself and get down to
your "rock-bottom" feelings. There you will
discover that you also are ambitious but mere-
ly afraid te believe it. This discovery will'
change your entire outlook and attitude toward
yourself.
99
(a). If you have satisfied your ambition
to some extent you know the taste of victory.
This should be enough incentive to encourage
you toward greater things. What you have done
you can do again even better than before.
(b). you have not satisfied your ambition
If
to any extent either your wishes were not
backed up by action or your ambition is beyond
reasonable expectation. It is better not to aim
so high and actually accomplish your purpose
than to "hitch your wagon to a star" and never
reach it.
100 (a). If you have saved your money you

are well qualified to go into business for your-
self. You can be reasonably sure of success
because you have demonstrated your ability to
run your private affairs and still leave a bal-
ance to your credit. '
(b). you have not saved any money you

If
are much work for someone else
better off to
who is responsible for the salary that you
draw. Saving money, if not carried to extremes,
is a definite indication of self-control. If you
want to acquire a solid, dependable character,
begin by saving money.
101 (a). If you are 'interested in sports and
other diversions you are well adjusted to life's
demands because you are giving variety to your
interests. This is a healthy interest but do not
allow it to take first place or it will shut out
the purpose for which it is intended healthy —
recreation.
(b). If ynu are not interested in sports or
other diversions you are taking life too serious-

ly (in which case you will get old too soon)
or you are one-sided in your makeup by devot-
ing all your interest to just one thing. Learn
to leave your principal interest and apply your-
self to something entirely different. Sports
serve this purpose admirably.
102 (a). A hobby is useful in strengthening

your personality if you do not become so much
engrossed in it as to become impatient when
your attention is required for something else.
Avoid extremes and you will be safe.
103 (a). If you do not read much you can-
not very well keep abreast of the times. Th.s
is important in building your personality where
intelligent information on a variety of subjects
counts for much.
(b). Ifyou read much, take care that you
do not fallinto the rut of reading only one
class of literature. Change off and you will
know the-Tiaoy of acquaintanceship with many
different types of writers.
(c). If your work is of a serious nature
such as educational or scientific work you will
find it beneficial to read the lighter forms of
literature as recreation. If your work is less
taxing oh the reasoning powers you can read
serious books for recreation. If your work is
exciting adventurous, read serious books
or
for contrast. If your work is quiet and lacking
in excitement, read romance and adventure.
Well selected reading is a powerful aid toward
personality development.
104 (a). If you are religious you have a
great outlet for your feelings. No matter what
your religion may be, let it be a religion of
action as well as theory. To think a principle
is one thing; to live it is quite another.
(b). If you are not religious, get a good

wholesome philosophy of life. Honesty of pur-
pose the foundation of successful living and
is
you can shape your personality according to
this principle, without a creed.
105 (a). If you get comfort from your re-

ligion be satisfied even others do not do like-
if
wise. You will make yourself unpopular by at-

tempting to force your views on other people.
You can be tolerant as well as religious.
'
(b). your interest in religion is merely
If
superficial be broad-minded enough to keep
from hurting the feelings of religious people.
Arguments on religion will never get you any-
where. If you think you have an improvement
on the old beliefs, use it; but don't insist on
advertising it.' You will get hurt in the long
run.
106 (a). you follow any vague philosophi-

If
cal gropings be careful to realize that you are
dealing with something very hard to prove.
Avoid being too positive. Only ignorant peo-
ple insist that their way is the only right way.
Investigate if you feel like it but don't be
too quick to accept everything that comes along,
no matter how plausible it seems.
107 (a). If you are superstitious, view your
feelings in the light of impossible beliefs that
you have retained from your childhood. Feel-
ings are not to be taken too seriously at any
time. You have intelligence given you for the
purpose of correcting the unreasonable mes-
sages sent up by your feelings. Use this intel-
ligence to make comparisons, weigh values, to
ask the why of things and seek facts. If you
do this you will not long be superstitious.
SECTION 9
Your Health
108 (a). Ifyou have had any serious dis-
eases in the past, make it a point to be ex-
amined once in a while. To ignore your condi-
tion until you are actually sick is to invite trou-
ble unnecessarily. Prevention of disease is just
as important as cure. Outside of a reasonable
54 MOW TO PSYCHO- ANALYZE YOURSELF
degree of precaution, the less you occupy your-
self with the question of your health the bet-
ter.
109 (a). there are any definite fears that
If
disturb your peace of mind try to analyze them
sensibly. Do not drive them out of your mind
or exert your will power against them. If you
can trace them to their causes in your past ex-
periences you will discover that they repre-
sent a childish attitude that you must outgrow.
Don't get excited if you can't remove them at
first but keep on trying to understand them
and they will give up their force for something
better. As long as you refuse to think about
.your fears directly and calmly, they will con-
trol you. Cool analysis of fears dispel them as
wind lifts a fog.
^110 (a). If your appetite is not good you are
either eating the wrong kind of food or de-
pressed by discouragement and worry. If you
do physical work you can eat a heavy diet and
be healthy. If you do inside work where your
brain is used more than your muscles, you
should eat a light diet with little meat. Worry
affects the digestive processes and is the most
frequent cause of loss of appetite. With this
condition it will benefit you to go outdoors and
exercise your muscles, walking, playing, saw-
ing wood, garden work, or anything of like na-
ture. Remember that action is the cure for

most of your troubles.
111 (a). you do not sleep well it means
If
that you insist on thinking when you should
be sleeping. Thinking is absolutely opposed to
sleep. You cannot force yourself to sleep as will
power exerted at such a time will only make
the condition worse. Just lay back comfortably
wi£h your eyes closed and rest, entirely in-
different as to whether you sleep or not. When
you really don't care what happens and stop
fighting yourself, you will be asleep with no
effort at all.
112 (a). If you wake up frightened your

sleeping mind has been disturbed by some ex-
aggerated impression due to a lively imagina-
tion. The best way to stop it is to relax fully,
allowing your mind to work without any inter-
ference from your judgment, opinions, or self-
criticism. You may think of some queer and
foolish things but this method will relieve you
of the irritating ideas pent up within you and
imbedded deep in your mind.
113 (a). If you have anxious dreams you are
trying to picture situations in sleep that you
would resist strenuously when awake. Your
mind is divided against itself. These pictures
are of your own making and represent in dis-
torted form what you secretly wish. When you
can demonstrate the truth of this statement"
to yourself you will mo longer have such
dreams. You will remove a great obstacle to
the steady growth of your personality.
HOW TO PSYCHO-ANALiziii; lUURSELF 57
Final Instructions
Take a sheet of paper or perhaps several
sheets —
and head the first sheet "What I Am."
Under each Section heading which you should
place on the sheet, write out the explanations,
one by one as they apply to you personally.
For example, under Section 1, No. 8 could be
written: "My power of attention and concen-
tration is good so I need not hesitate to un-
dertake anything within the limitations of my
training. I am bound to succeed."
Do the same with each explanation that ap-
plies to you to the end of the analysis.
Then make a heading: "What I must do to
improve myself." Section 1, No. 12, for ex-
ample, might read: "No one seeks my advice
so it is a sign that I am holding myself away
from people too much. I must let go of my-
self more, take a chance with my own brain
and I shall be surprised to see how easily it is
to be a personality."
When you have worked out the entire

analysis with this method you will not only
have a complete analysis of your personality
but a ready reference for constant improve-
ment of your mind and upbuilding of your
character. ,-
