How to Analyze People on Sight Through the Science of Human Analysis: The Five Human Types by Elsie Lincoln Benedict and Ral

by LibriVox

In this popular American book from the 1920s, accomplished public speaker and self-help charlatan Elsie Lincoln Benedict outlines her pseudo-scientific system of "Human Analysis". She proposes that, within the human race, five sub-types have developed through evolutionary processes, each with its own distinct character traits and corresponding outward appearance. She offers to teach the reader how to recognise these five types of people and understand their innate differences. Her ideas have never been taken seriously by the scientific community, but this book is considered a classic within its genre and remains in print today. (Summary by Carl Manchester)

    How to analyze people through sight
    The book is written very nicely. Small sections made it easier to read and understand. The insights were quite remarkable. Although I would not make a bet based on it, but the authors explanation are breathtakingly accurate in general case. This book is a must read for everyone.
