1.--_Lying at the top of the head, in the center and coming a little
way towards the forehead._ If this area is well developed, it shows
that the individual has a benevolent nature. He is generous and kind;
he will work for the good of others and not think only of himself.
If the area is over-developed, the individual will be inclined to favor
others at the expense of his own safety; if it is under-developed, he
will be cruel and selfish.
2.--_Situated above but a little behind the eye; usually the place is
just covered by hair._ When this area is well developed, it shows that
the individual possesses plenty of happiness and a store of wit and
mirth. He is a pleasant person, smiles on adversity and is excellent
company.
If the area is over-developed, the individual is one who can never be
taken seriously, who pokes fun at everything; if it is under-developed,
he is the type of person who is never known to smile.
3.--_In the middle of the head, where it curves down towards the back
of the neck._ In cases where this area is well developed, the person is
one who has strength of mind; he is firm in his actions; he cannot be
persuaded against his own judgment; and he likes his own way.
If this area is over-developed, the person is obstinate and stubborn;
if it is under-developed, he is easily led, apt to waver and has not a
mind of his own.

4.--_In the middle of the head, lower down at the back than No. 3._
When this area is found in a well-developed condition, the possessor is
a person who has dignity, self-esteem and proper pride. He is one who
lives an upright life because he puts a high price on these qualities.
If this area is over-developed, the individual is over-confident, he
thinks too much of himself and is haughty; if it lacks development, he
is too humble and suffers from an inferiority complex.
5.--_Lying beside Nos. 3 and 4._ To find this area well developed is a
sure sign that the possessor is a conscientious individual; it shows
that he has a high sense of duty, and his life will center around
actions that are based on what he thinks is right.
If this area is over-developed, the possessor will never progress
far because he will be always stopping and wondering whether what he
proposes to do is right; if under-developed, the possessor is one who
does not care whether what he does is wrong or right, so long as it
brings him pleasure and gain.
6.--_At the base of the skull, at the back, where it joins the
backbone._ If this area is well developed, it shows that the individual
has the power of loving somebody of the opposite sex in a proper
manner. He or she will fall in love when a suitable occasion arises and
will make an excellent partner.
If this area is over-developed, the individual will be too passionate,
will fall in love with little or slight provocation, and will give
himself or herself a great deal of unhappiness; if under-developed, he
or she will be too cold to be moved by the thoughts of love.
7.--_A slight distance away from the back of the ear._ When this area
is well developed, the individual may be counted on to be courageously
inclined. He will not know the meaning of fear, and will not hold back
because troubles may be brewing.
If this area is over-developed, we have a quarrelsome person and if
under-developed, one who is afraid of his skin.
8.--_Beside No. 7, but more in the center of the back of the head._
Whenever this area is properly developed, it shows that the possessor
would make an admirable husband or wife. He or she would be devoted,
loyal and attentive.
If the area is over-developed, the possessor has a jealous disposition;
if under-developed, he or she is fickle and apt to flirt with others.
9.--_Beside No. 8, in the center of the back of the head, low down._
Should this area be well developed, it shows that the possessor has a
proper love and regard for children and that he thinks no person has
experienced the fullest joys of life who has not become a parent.
If this area is over-developed, the possessor thinks so much of
children that he spoils them; if it is under-developed, he is of the
type that "cannot stand them at any price."
