the same standard deviation as those entered under t. ii.

It is true the two sets of figures are no longer absolutely
identical. But absolute identity was hardly to be expected
after we had decided to substitute a rough summation
method for both calculations. Nevertheless, with the
exception of one rather indeterminate trait—curiosity1

1 In most of the other groups that I have investigated, ' curiosity' has
appeared as definitely characteristic of the ' objective,' ' aggressive,5 or c ex-
traverted * type. With this particular batch—students at the end of their
adolescent period, it will be remembered—the conduct which gains a high
mark for c curiosity' consists of inquiring interests of an abstract and
theoretical nature rather than of curiosity about other persons or about
concrete things and practical situations: such curiosity is, intelligibly
enough, associated rather with tendencies towards introversion.

My friend, Mrs. Milner, in her very remarkable book, has criticized my
classification on the ground that * disgust has usually an aggressive component,
while sex is aggressive only in the male : in the female it is submissive ' (Ihe
Human Problem in Schools, 1938, p. 106). My primary aim, however, was not to
classify emotions, but to classify persons. I can only say that, so far as my
data go, both males and females who are rated by observers high for sexual
behaviour tend, on the whole, to be slightly more aggressive in their general
conduct (though the correlation is quite low, especially in females). On the
other hand, * disgust,' I agree, as defined in the dictionary is often synony-
mous with indignation, and to that extent would be characteristic rather of
