is oval more or less, with thick eyebrows, eyes rather prominent, nose broadish and long, lower jaw prominent and firm.  Prominent bony points like the cheek bones, the elbows and the knees, the knuckle joints of the hands and feet.  The teeth are large, especially the upper middle incisors, and they are usually spaced.  The arms and legs are hairy.  High grade brains, the ability to learn, and the ability to control, self-mastery in the sense of domination of the lower instincts and the automatic reactions of the vegetative nervous system, the rule by the individual of himself and his environment are at their maximum in him.  The ante-pituitary personality is educable for intelligence, and even intellect, provided the proper educational stimulus is supplied.  Men of brains, practical and theoretical, philosophers, thinkers, creators of new thoughts and new goods, belong to this group.  The distinction between men of theoretical genius, whose minds which could embrace a universe, and yet fail to manage successfully their own personal everyday lives, and the men of practical genius, who can achieve and execute, the great engineers, and industrial men lies in the balance between the ante-pituitary and the adrenal cortex primarily.  Men like Abraham Lincoln and George Bernard Shaw belong to this ante-pituitary group.

The feminine pituitary personality, in whom there is predominance of the post-pituitary over the ante-pituitary, occurs in men.  The type is short, rounded and stout.  They have heads that seem too large for their bodies, the general hair distribution on the trunk and extremities is poor, although that of the scalp and face is plentiful, and they acquire an abdominal paunch early.  They exhibit the feminine tendency to periodicity of function, their moods, activities, efficiency are cyclic, reminding one of the menstrual variations of the female.  This rhythmicity saturates their personalities, so that poetry and music almost morbidly appeal to them.  A number of the great poets and musicians are to be classified as of the feminine pituitary species.  Last, but not least, they are the hen-pecked lovers and husbands.  Sex difficulties are frequent in their history.

The determination of endocrine type and tendencies, the prediction of the future personality, during childhood is one of the developments confidently to be looked for, as our knowledge of the internal secretions will grow.  The possibilities of control loom as one of the most magnificent promises of science.  Yet the high expectations for tomorrow should not depress our respect for the achievements of today.  In the case of the pituitary, for instance, a hint as to the method of approach is furnished by the tabulation of the traits of pituitary dominance and pituitary inferiority in children.
