Abstract

“We ‘take the measure’ of every man we meet. We ‘size him up’, or ‘plot his curve’, and whether or not we like to own it, to a certain extent we regulate our actions toward that one accordingly. If we judge ourselves superior, conduct takes on characteristic forms according to the occasion and our own nature: for example, haughtiness, imperiousness, condescension, the air of self importance, the instructive tone etc. On the other hand, if we judge ourselves inferior there is present a feeling of timidity, a less confident heart-beat and less steady gaze. The voice becomes hollow instead of commanding or assuring. Spoken sentences are given a rising and questioning inflection.” *
