This is the original version of this classic of popular psychology - including original illustrations. Orginally published in New York in 1921, How to Analyse People on Sight takes an amusing and distinctive look at different human personality types and psychological traits, and remains a cult classic to this day. As the authors put it: " Modern science has proved that the fundamental traits of every individual are indelibly stamped in the shape of his body, head, face and hands-an X-ray by which you can read the characteristics of any person on sight. The most essential thing in the world to any individual is to understand himself. The next is to understand the other fellow. For life is largely a problem of running your own car as it was built to be run, plus getting along with the other drivers on the highway. From this book you are going to learn which type of car you are and the main reasons why you have not been getting the maximum of service out of yourself."
