—as YE oh Keenly Would You Be Successful —If You Are— Unusually Analytic, an-— Advertising Expert? Perceptive, Ingenious, Industrious, Constructive, Thorough, Must Also Have Great Powers of Observation and a Keen Eye for Detail. By William Judson Kibby. Copyright, 1921, by the Press Publishing Co, (The New York Breuing World), This ie the eighth in a series of articics written especially for veaders of The Evening World by William Judson Kibby, the noted char- acter analyst and industrial psychologist, whose services are retained by @ rumber of big business corporations. Mr. Kibby is teaching his readers to analyze themselves and decide whether or not they fit their present fobs, or for which vocation they are best fitted. REQUENTLY I am called upon to advise men relative to their desire to set into the advertising field. ‘There are several angles from which men approach advertising, Gistributing, art, writing, research, copyright, management, cclling, &. I will write along the line of distributing, selling approach. Only too often young men desiring to get into advertising fail to realize hat the demand to-day upon men in this profession is very great, and the grade of men who continue in it are Digher and higher as the years go by, ®o therefore the intelligence required fs unusual, for there are few profes- gions in the world at which largo ‘Dumbers of men work which require greater brain power than does ad- Vertis.ng. Here are a few of the qualifications, @rranged as a self-analysis. ‘The rating is that of an advertising expert I am well acquainted with and who is very successful, Health . vA) Unusualiy 80 Ingenious 75 Constructive 70 Execution . . - Keen, wizard-like perception. 80 Detail on 70 75 60 €0 ' Concentration 30 Thoroughness . 75 Initiative . + 40 Common sense « coe 20 Observation ...... : 65 Sense of proportion . a) Judgment 40 Adaptability 20 Co-operative 20 Diversity ..-.. 70 1125 ‘This man’s rating is only 56.23 per cent, He has wonderful genius for aivertising and is very successful, but here we confront another won- derful man failing of the great, big goal, because he will not direct his Positive forces better, that the weak- nesses shown will not handicap his work. There are seven weaknesses in this man. First, his lack of concentration, or We might say his lack of conser- vation—he will not conserve, His ini- tiative was not very large, and he lacked common sense, He had all kinds of blue sky mental gymnastics, lacked sense of proportion, judgment, Was hard to get along with, His ideas would not blend with others; he lacked the big spirit of oo-opera- tlon To analize yourself, make out a list identical with the one given above, Typewrite it and make several car- bon cop On one sheet set down the percentages that you would give yourself, Have intimate friends or isiness slates rate you on the other sheets according to their esti- te of you. Then compare results, ‘o figure your rating, add the fig- ures and divide the total by 20. You should haye a final rating of at least 60 to qualify. Rate 10 to 2 very poor; 20 to 30, poor; 30 to 40, moderately good; 40 to 50, good: 50 10 60, very g00d; 60 to 70, medium strong 70 to 75, strong; 75 to 80, very stron, 80 to 85, medium high; 85 to 90, high; 90 to 95, very high. To-day's study in type analysis fol- lows: The Vital Temperament. N TO-DAY'S article I desire to call my readers’ attention to our most genial type. Former President Wiliam H. Taft is typical of this type. The face is round and full, some- what moonfaced, and is character- Ystic of the social temperament. The body is plump, often corpulent; the face from the corners of the mouth quite fleshy; the body is gencrally large in the middle eeotion; the stom- ach or nutritive system is the most active organ in the makeup and therefore they have the ficshy organ- ization. ‘The vital temperament may be of the diversified type (light hair, eyes and skin), or of the conserving type (dark hair, eyes and skin), but*it is @ noteworthy fact that the conservin vital type almost always possesses far greater endurance than the diversified vital type. However, the diversiticd vital type generally generates far more activity, freshness and springi- Bess. ‘They generally avold arduous tasks on account af the amount of bulk which they are compelled to carry sround. This bulk often causes them to be sluggish and lazy. No one but the vital temperament can possibly know the cost which the moving of the body consumes. They are gen- erally good natured and happy, and big hearted, One of the greatest weaknesses of this type is his big heart or emotional disposition. They must at all times guard it, becau whey are always being taken ad- vamtage of. They are usually very sociable and democratic, make and By Roy L.
