12.1.3. THE SQUARE FACE
***********************
Width at the temple and width at the jawline are almost identical in the full-fledged square type; but some variance is allowable, provided the face is generally squarish. The heavier the jaw, the more rugged the individual is apt to be; but any face of a definitely square shape represents a person of an active mind and nature.
You will find scholars here along with businessmen, for the square type strikes an intermediate between the round and triangular. But their learning is more of a practical nature, not going to intellectual extremes, while in commercial pursuits they depend more on their own efforts than upon the management of someone else’s talents.
That does not mean that people of this type always work alone. On the contrary, they have great directive ability and are often natural leaders. But always, their own activity is an important factor. They prefer to show people how to do things and set the pace for whatever is done. As a result they frequently rise to high positions through their sheer dynamic power.
Will power, firmness of opinion, and a constant urge for action form a powerful combination in the makeup of the squarefaced type. Often they rely on physical strength or sheer drive to accomplish their aims. Mechanical skill is strongly present in the square type. They are prompt at taking up new things and carrying them through to a successful conclusion. The keener their minds, the more they feel that results are what mainly count.
