There are six in all:
1. Amativeness: When developed, this indicates an ardent interest in the opposite sex, an excellent token when supported by helpful faculties, such as friendship, which is synonymous with affection. Conversely, amativeness and secretiveness are a bad combination, tending toward jealousy.
Excessive development of this faculty is indicative of sensuality and overindulgence in all desires. Deficiency shows indifference, frequently evidenced by a shy, retiring nature.
2. Conjugality: Developed, this stresses a constant, faithful love. Excessive development shows a selfish trend, unyielding love, regardless of reciprocation. Deficiency shows a fickle, inconstant nature.
This faculty was not shown on earlier charts, and is sometimes difficult to pinpoint. In some cases, it may be allied by a mingling of surrounding propensities which its development can indicate.
