THE TYPES OF PERSONALITY 225 



and there may be a well-marked area of pigmentation around the 

 nipple. The hair growth under the shoulders and on the lower 

 abdomen tends to be scanty and to approximate the opposite 

 sex in quality and distribution, as do the reproductive organs 

 themselves. 



These traits of physiognomy and physique indicate functional 

 hermaphroditism in the underlying feminoid constitution. The 

 feminoid constitution appears again in the supposedly masculine. 

 The feminoid constitution should not be confused with the infanti- 

 loid constitution. The former, the gonado-centric personality, is 

 a digression of growth, a deviated evolution of the individual 

 because of the conflicting forces, some masculine and some femi- 

 nine, in his make-up. The infantiloid constitution is one of 

 arrested development, and may center around the arrested func- 

 tion in childhood or adolescence of any one or a number of 

 endocrine glands. Yet the two may resemble one another pretty 

 closely, at times. A cretin imitates the extreme grade of infanti- 

 loid constitution. The infantiloid is a sort of enlarged and 

 lengthened child. The feminoid is ostensibly a man, with a 

 good deal of woman in him. The infantiloid is a quite general 

 type, but of course when typical is a freak, recognized and 

 treated as such. How far the eunuchoid may deviate from the 

 normal is suggested by the following description of one. 



"Face rounded, moon-like, chubby, devoid of hair. Eyes 

 puffed. Lips protruding and fleshy. Cheeks round and thick. 

 Nose little developed. Skin thick and of clear color. Dispropor- 

 tion between the size of head and body. Hair of scalp fine. Brows 

 and lashes scarce, trunk elongated and cylindrical. Limbs thick 

 and plump, tapering from the root to the extremities. Good fat 

 layers over the entire body. Reproductive organs those of a 

 little boy. Infantile mental state: light-heartedness, naivete, 

 timidity, easily evoked tears and laughter, promptly aroused 

 but fugitive wrath: excessive tenderness, but unreasonable dis- 

 likes." 



An almost wholly mental infantiloid state or one purely 

 physical may occur. Certain rather large Tom Thumbs belong 

 to the group. In everyday life we see doll creatures, overgrown 

 children, on every hand. Mental measurements of any large 

 group of population reveal a remarkable percentage of it as 

 below the mental age of 12. Juvenile traits and juvenile mind, 

 separate or combined, should always suggest the possibility of the 

 infantiloid constitution of one type of thymocentric also.
