When the Spatulate hand is soft and flabby, the qualities mentioned are inclined to be dormant, or in the mind instead of in actuality. Curiosly enough persons with the Spatulate hand soft and flabby are usually irritable and fretful in disposition, perhaps because at heart they feel their inability to produce or make manifest the work belonging to their type.

In character the possessors of the philosophic hand are inclined to be secretive and silent - deep thinkers, careful and analytical in their thoughts and expressions, even in their use of little words.
Such people are difficult to understand or approach. Sensitive to the highest degree they shrink into themselves at the approach of rudeness or idle curiosity.
They are dignified and poised in their way, but theirs is the pride of being different from the vulgar herd, of being priest in the holy sanctuary of their mind where only the true worshipper can gain admittance.
Men and women belonging to the philosophic type care little for fame, glory or the plaudits of the public. Their reward is within themselves - the reward of achievement - of having done conscientious work for the higher advancement of their fellow beings.
