How to Analyze People on Sight

The "steam-calliope voice" belongs almost always to a Muscular. He
does his talking just as he does everything else--with all his might.

It is very difficult for the Muscular to "tone down" this powerful
voice. His long-suffering friends will testify to this characteristic.


His Stentorian Tones

This loud voice is a serious social handicap to him. His only chance
of compensation for it lies in its use before juries, congregations or
large audiences.

It might be noted here that every great orator has been largely of this
type, and also that his fame came not alone from the things he said but
from the stentorian tones in which he said them.
