BASIC PSYCHOLOGICAL TYPES OF ZODIAC SIGNS

As per astrological books, perhaps the greatest virtue of Sagittarius in relation to other Zodiac signs is their free spirit. However, their cry for destroying the external boundaries of freedom is a manifestation of the slavery of their inner spirit. The psychological type of Sagittarius is a slave to his or her own huge and arrogant Ego. Arrogance in its essence is an irrational independence that is the end in itself. Why do I have to go to work every day? Why do I have to go to bed every night? Why do I have to inhale air? Why was I ‘made a slave’? These are the questions probably known to the psychological type of Sagittarius. Sagittarius views any testimony of reason towards life’s responsibilities, and any voice of conscience calling them to take on responsibility, as an attack on their huge Ego, suffocation of their personality and denial of their freedom. What is the relationship between Sagittarius and other people like? How is their subjective Ego related towards the objective needs of reality? Unlike the Libra type, not only is Sagittarius not a slave to the public opinion, but they are almost completely disinterested in it. In Encyclopedia of psychological astrology by Charles Carter, we read that the term of inconsideration, beside Aries, also belongs to the sign of Sagittarius: "Inconsiderateness, as apart from selfish indifference, which is found in primitive specimens of all the signs, is commonest in Aries and Sagittarius, because their robust animal spirits make it hard for them to appreciate or notice the feelings of less vitalized signs." (Charles E.O. Carter, Encyclopedia of Psychological Astrology, pg 103) A huge arrogant Ego makes Sagittarius live life unaware of other people’s needs, and live inconsiderately as if they were the only ones on the planet. Their reason is not focused on recognizing the needs of other people's lives, but responds to current quirks of their own Self. An immediate and close contact with other people is the only thing that causes sympathy and altruism in them. And even then, when they decide to respond to the needs of life they are assured of, Sagittarius will not be pleased with a simple reasonable action; they will attempt to 'enhance' it by bringing their huge Ego in, yielding to their own current cravings, which will result in certain deviation from the plan instructed by their common sense. Due to the nature of their huge Self, the psychological type of Sagittarius experiences the most intense stress when they are to yield to discipline of any kind, regardless of its reasonable justification (getting up every morning at the same time, for instance, or going to bed at the same time every night in order to get up rested). They naturally want to break the rules or discipline and therewith show the ‘free' spirit of their huge arrogant Ego. Astrologer Maja Lončarić wrote about Sagittarius that they are “disharmonic” (Astrology – Stars Talk, pg 17).

In 1950s a group of sociologists and psychologists (Adorno, T.W. Frenkel-Brunswik, Else; Levinson. Daniel J. & Sanford, R. Nevitt, The Authoritarian Personality, 1950) defined the fascist type of authoritarian personality (F scale) by means of attributes which correspond to the psychological type of Virgo:

The other psychological types can also be authoritarian, especially in stressful circumstances, but their authoritarianism is different from Virgo’s. The authoritarianism of Aries and Sagittarius excludes items 2, 4 and 5 from the above quoted F scale, whereas Cancer’s authoritarianism lacks items 3, 4, 6 and 9. Item 4 is characteristic of Virgo’s authoritarianism only.

The secondary psychological types are compounds of various combinations of the basic psychological types. As a matter of fact, the three male fiery signs of Leo, Sagittarius and Aries, when merged and softened with the psychological influence of Virgo, Cancer and Gemini, result in the forming of Taurus, Aquarius and Capricorn. In practice, these compounds are more common than the types of basic signs. Since the secondary signs are compounds of the basic signs, we will refrain from further repetition of explanations referring to the basic signs they are made of, since they have already been explained, but we will only show that the basic signs appear in the secondary ones.

The psychological type of Taurus is a compound and interaction of Leo and Virgo. An amalgam of Leo’s desire for power and Virgo’s possessiveness, we can clearly see it in the description of Taurus by the astrologer Mile Dupor: “The will is melancholic, latent and more directed towards the power over things. The temperament: reserved, conservative, but also generous and tolerant." (Mile Dupor, Don't believe it, check it, pg 61)

The psychological type of Aquarius represents a combination and interaction of Gemini and Virgo, wherein the Gemini type is dominant. "Generally kindly and tranquil by nature, Aquarians nevertheless enjoy defying public opinion." (Linda Goodman, Sun Signs, pg 444)

The psychological type of Capricorn is a combination and interaction of Aries and Cancer. Unlike Aries, who cannot put up with injustice, Cancer easily puts up with it. Unlike Aries, who is proud but unselfish, Cancer is meek but selfish. Unlike Aries, who is rebellious and open, Cancer is fearful and timid. Unlike Aries, who is unconscientious and lazy, Cancer is conscientious and diligent. Unlike Aries, who is too proud to deal with their own emotions, Cancer abuses them in any way. We recognize their interaction in the astrological attributes of Capricorn: "He has a self-made brick wall around him. He's shy, but he's strong and tough. He's pleasant, but he's fiercely ambitious... In his private dreams, the goat is an incurable romantic, but Saturn chains his nature. The stern planet of discipline demands of him calm behavior, practical actions and serious intent. This is his cross, and it's often a heavy one to bear. Sometimes he'll cover his frustration with a brusque manner... Capricorns pretend they can live without compliments, and the way they behave when they get one is pretty convincing proof. Actually, he desperately needs to be told he is good, clever, handsome, desirable and interesting, but since he'll seldom make his need visible, he gets few orchids. (Linda Goodman, Sun Signs, pg 412) The dual nature of Capricorn was described by astrologer Ljiljana Milajić: “It should be noted that there are two different types of Capricorns – one is unusually stingy, the other extremely generous. These are capable and decisive people, usually successful in most of the activities they perform, because they approach everything they do with great sense of duty and discipline. They generally like money - not for the sake of money, but for the power it brings. Naturally, the other, more generous type of Capricorn is a little different, but they also like to possess for the sake of reputation and prestige." (Ljiljana Milajić, The Horoscope, "Woman 21" magazine, issue 7, May-June 2001, Australia)

As we have stated before, the psychological types are products of motives which cannot bear the criticism of common sense and personality defense mechanisms which people use to defend themselves from their own voice of reason and conscience asking for reform. We have seen that the same motives are hidden beneath both their flaws and virtues. When an astrologer divides a Zodiac sign to morally “higher” and “lower”, they do not talk about different motives, but different sublimations of one and the same motive, or about the defense mechanisms which induce one to behave in a morally “elevated” manner. However, a truly grown adult is the one who defeats the bad motive, not the one who suppresses, sublimates or redirects it.

How can we say whether our own “elevated" behavior is a sign of the sublimation of motives which are essentially bad or it represents a true growing up of our personality? By our reaction at the time of unpleasant stressful circumstances! The very circumstances we refer to as the excuse for our bad reactions test our true motives. In the stressful situations our true motives find an occasion to come out and reveal their true nature. Under the pressure of temptation in form of food or tobacco indulgence, the Scorpio type will put their health in danger. In a stressful period the Virgo type will be inclined towards a suspicious "Gestapo-like" spirit and therefore show readiness to endanger their own and other's welfare for the sake of blind observance of principles. The Cancer type will demonstrate cowardly betrayal of a friend under the pressure of unjust authority. The Libra type will demonstrate the same cowardly betrayal, not because of their own selfish fear, but the vain fear of losing the approval of society. The Aries type will in times of stress transform their self-sacrificing courage into madness; their own wounded pride into hatred and destruction. The Leo type will be a close and devoted friend, until the person they love elevate themselves above them in terms of their values. The Gemini type will show a noble character until their own personal interests become endangered.

Can we call some elements of man’s personality virtues if they reveal a flawed character just when they should prove to be virtues? Of course not! Behind various virtues there are often flaws, which reveal their true nature only in times of stress. Because of this fact, a stressful situation is not as bad as it may seem, since it can make us become aware of the actual content of our motives. They therefore give us a chance to beat these motives and thus reform our true character. When a person truly conquers the temptation of the motives which characterize their psychological type, they liberate themselves from their great Ego and their defense mechanisms, so we cannot say that they have a corresponding Zodiac sign. For instance, it is known that the psychological sign of Aries is incapable of putting up with injustice due to their pride and rebellious nature. But, should they beat their pride and rebellious nature to stand injustice with meekness and humility, would it not be utterly meaningless to say that they have a corresponding Zodiac sign of Aries whose character is defined as: “Proud, vengeful, quick-tempered” (Mile Dupor, Do not believe it, Check It, pg 74)?!

The nature of temptation is such that, if we respond to it with maturity, we acquire traits contrary to our Zodiac sign. A mature reaction make the proud become humble, rebellious become meek, selfish - unselfish, vengeful - merciful, cowardly become brave, unreasonable become reasonable, unconscientous - conscientious, immoderate - moderate, and so forth. It is therefore entirely inadequate to attribute the Virgo sign to a person if the person defeats their stinginess and becomes generous; or to attribute the Cancer sign to the one who is not possessive, etc. The one who maturely overcomes temptations in life does not behave in accordance with their Zodiac sign, but with conscience and common sense, purposefully to the real needs of life, free of any typology of Zodiac signs.

Our life needs also include the needs of our spouse. Our readiness and ability to live for someone else certainly indicates a healthy development of our personality, which moved from childlike egoistic self-absorption to the path of growing up to complete maturity where we are able to live for others. This raises the question:

Do astrology and its findings help us successfully overcome temptations in choosing our spouse and building marital relationship itself?

Many believe that we explore horoscope just to find out how to beat life temptations. Therefore the question of whether astrology helps us in beating those temptations is justifiable. Or is it perhaps keeping us from doing so?

The time when our parents chose our spouse is now long gone. The time has come when young people decide, on the basis of their love for one another, to start a future life together. They may think of the patriarchal times with appall, when they would be in a slave-like relationship with a person they did not choose voluntarily, waking up every morning beside someone who is a stranger to their heart. However, without proper understanding of the concept of marital decision even their present relationship, based on their mutual true emotions, might suffer the same fate. One day, when the emotions go silent, they would wake up beside a person they have never really chosen to love. Instead of themselves, the marital decision has been made by their emotions. One day, when the emotions have vanished, the decision has vanished with them. Actually, it would turn out that a true decision of free will never existed. To have free will does not mean to make decisions according to current impulses, emotions and urges of one’s own nature, but to make decisions without regard to them, and to bring into one’s life the quality of experience which makes the relationship filled with the most supreme contents and meaning.

One’s decision to love can fill their whole relationship with love, even if it was empty and slavish for decades. A real marital decision, which stands on the foundations of unselfish love, is a condition for marriage to actually be marriage.

By definition, marriage is a vow of love, which implies us making a responsible life decision to live for our spouse, to take care of them and serve them, to show willingness to sacrifice for them all those character flaws which might be an obstacle to our common happiness. In making a marital decision – a vow a love, we are naturally confronted with our own character weaknesses which prevent us from making the decision.

Selfish motives of human nature which give rise to intentions to emotionally and sensually use the spouse either result fear of marriage or impulsive, inconsiderate and irresponsible marriage, without a true decision for the other person. By solely announcing a relationship an official marital union, but without awareness of mutual responsibility and the decision to live for one another, nothing magical will be done to make such a relationship better than the one which is not formally called marriage. One needs to beat oneself, their selfishness and sensuality, otherwise the fear of their non-fulfillment, losing a better opportunity, etc. gets in their way of making a real marital decision. Unless they beat their selfishness and sensuality, they will not have courage for making a marital decision, or they will base the decision on their unconquered selfishness and sensuality themselves. The same weaknesses that made them start a relationship might one day be the cause of its breakup, once they are no longer satisfied, or when directed to satisfy themselves by someone else.

The first question one has to ask themselves when choosing a spouse is not – “Can I love him/her?“, but “Am I the kind of person who is able to love him/her? Is it over with my selfishness, sensuality, pride, vain oversensitiveness, my desire for power and perhaps my cynicism and grumpiness?“ As long as we are leaving the essential question of our spirit unanswered, we will not be ready to consider the quality of our potential spouse objectively, because we will be limited by the question whether we like them or not.

The reason why we love someone should lie in our hearts, our love, not the values of that person which make us love them in this case. Only when we become capable of loving them regardless of their values and shortcomings, we should start analyzing whether they are truly the right person for marriage, that is, whether we will truly be friends, willing and capable of helping each other in life.

The fear of getting married, which is a natural result of awareness of all the responsibilities of marital vows, might not be overcome in a mature way and thus form a need in us to give up the responsibility of choosing a spouse. The lack of true foundations of the marital decision is frequently manifested through one’s need to let someone or something else make the decision. Naturally, such transfer of responsibility reveals the lack of love. In this case, we will analyze the phenomenon of transferring the responsibility for choosing a spouse to the astrological factor and astrological advice.

Let us look at the example of advice given by astrologers to the persons born under two mutually “inadequate” Zodiac signs. We will analyze the relationship between the people belonging to the signs which are extremely different, because their relationships have the most expressive consequences of unconquered temptations, which to a lesser extent characterize the other signs and the relationships between them.

Sexually obsessed Scorpio type and the Virgo type which is barely interested in sex naturally come into conflict due to their sexual incompatibility. Unlike Scorpio, who seeks the cure for their inner discontent in sexual pleasure, Virgo seeks satisfaction in the purity of their conscience. Each has their source of satisfaction which, in practice, results in their mutual incompatibility. Each of them shows that they have a need which is more important to them than their partner. Virgo reveals the problem of unclear conscience which burdens them during almost any sensual pleasure. Scorpio reveals the inclination towards sensuality due to which the purpose of their sexuality is not to express love towards their partner, but to attempt to reach their own. Everyone has a conscience problem when they are moved by sinful motives, but there are differences between people and the way they solve the conflicts with their conscience. The Virgo type has emotions and feelings which are meagerly expressed, so it is easier for them to hypocritically hinder the expression of their weaknesses and enjoy the peace of their superficial legalistic conscience. They have a tendency to shift guilt, so instead of feeling guilty about their motives which are actually sinful, they often feel guilty for the actions which do not express the essential problem. The Scorpio type has intensely expressed emotions and feelings, so it is easier for them to suffocate the voice of their unclear conscience by indulging in sensual pleasures. The relationship between Scorpio and Virgo leads to the expression of their mutually adverse mechanisms and behavioral motives, so it gives them the opportunity to become aware of them and beat them. If Virgo's heart is genuinely pure, their conscience will be too, and they will not have any inner obstacles which would prevent them from expressing their love through sexuality, which would be adequate to the needs of their life companion. If Scorpio is truly moved by sincere love, they will not be tempted if their partner does not show an everyday interest in sexual contact with them. Besides, sexual intercourse takes just a small amount of time and communication which pervades a relationship of two people in love. If they are truly in love, they will be interested in recognizing all the needs of their companion to be fulfilled. Their sexual relationship will be unburdened and free, whether of Scorpio's personal need for satisfaction, or of Virgo's self-righteous tendency to feel guilty about it. It will not be a substitute for love, nor a source of happiness, but merely a way to express love, an occasion to share the happiness of spirit. Sexuality nowadays has a distorted function with almost all the psychological types, for it is awaken without marital vows, for personal satisfaction; in this manner people are becoming unable to perform a healthy function of sexuality in marriage.

Unprepared to take over the responsibility for their lives, people have a need for different excuses, including horoscope, for it liberates them from their own responsibility for their actions and flatters them that their relationship with the partner will go into the right direction, or perhaps discourages them, telling them that they are doomed to failure, regardless of their efforts to maintain the relationship.

What can be said to those who explore the future of their relationship in horoscope analysis?

If you expect a lucky star to contribute something to your relationship that is up to you and your partner, you do not need to be wise to understand that such a relationship is doomed to failure, not for some mystical reasons, but because its quality and success are up to you. Your relationship will possess as much quality as you give to it yourselves, and as much success as you sacrifice yourselves for each other. Besides, what would you think of yourselves as conscious and responsible individuals if it was not up to you alone? How pleased would you be with the fortune of your love if you only acted as audience, without will and participation in creating and developing your own relationship?

Yet, horoscope can tell you that your partner is not right for you and that you are not right for him or her because your characters are mutually intolerable. What does it mean? In other words, it means that you both have serious character flaws which prevent you from getting along, because they make you stand in each other’s way. But, if you truly love each other, why not sacrifice the character flaws for the sake of your love? Would you rather cultivate your flaws than build your love relationship? The very differences that might stand in your way can help you develop yourselves in terms of the flaws you have not even been aware of. The differences between the two of you are not necessarily as bad as such, because you need to complement each other, not merely exist double up. If you truly love each other, would it really be difficult for you to promise that you would do anything for the sake of the other? If you are not prepared to make such a sacrifice, then there is no person who deserves to build a relationship with you. What is the value of your relationship if it is not a result of the mutual decision to live for one another? How much do you appreciate the love of your partner if you have more trust in the stars than their true will to love you and live for you? Can you feel gratitude for the partner who loves you, not because they were tempted, stood the tests of life and thus chose to love you themselves, but because some superior force influenced them despite their will and choice? Naturally, marriage which was in essence not chosen by us is not worthy of surviving as a successful one. A true marital relationship is a decision based on unselfish and self-sacrificial love and it is developed throughout temptations of life. Only when a marital decision is not based on readiness to fight for the person one has chosen will they have a need to look for advice and safety of their relationship in astrological predictions, giving up their responsibility for the quality and success of their relationship.

WHEN AND WHY WE CAN RECOGNIZE OURSELVES IN OUR ZODIAC SIGN?

Let us note that astrology assigns a certain type of character that we only have when we exclude mature reaction of reason, conscience and will from our personality, behaving irresponsibly towards the temptations we face.

People do have the tendencies astrology ascribes to them as personal traits, but they also have the abilities to overcome them by reason, conscience and will. However, if they behave irresponsibly, letting bad tendencies of their nature and defense mechanisms of unclear conscience govern them, odds are that they will recognize themselves in the horoscope.

There is a possibility to be accidentally born under a Zodiac sign or ascendant whose psychological type and its description best correspond to the behavioral motives and defense mechanisms that we are naturally prone to, and therefore, due to the recognized similarity, arrive at the conclusion that an astrological factor irrefutably exists. That is why different horoscopes simultaneously “function” in practice (Western, Indian, Chinese, Aztec, etc.), even though they provide often mutually contradictory predictions of the character of people born on a certain date in a certain place. Naturally, since people with certain psychophysical characteristics are born at every moment in every month, there can always be an accidental match between traits of a person and horoscopic predictions of any horoscope system.

Now we need to explain why there are differences between the psychological types based on which astrologers classify people as different Zodiac signs. What influences us to abuse our emotions (corresponding to the Cancer type in its most extreme variety), or to abuse the mental notions about our own worth (corresponding to the Libra type), or our senses (corresponding to the Scorpio type), or perhaps to smother our urges influenced by our sense of guilt (corresponding to the Virgo type)?

Everyone abuses what they have most at their disposal, depending on their inheritance and external influences. Therefore, we will now focus on anthropology.

The differences between various types of psychological Zodiac signs represent the very differences between people. Those differences between people are not a result of any mystical or superstitious causes, but are the result of the perversion of various human abilities.

Our abilities differ from person to person depending on the gender we belong to, our age, genetic adaptation to climate conditions we live in, our natural talent for certain work activities and the influence of external factors.

Gender distinctions are purposeful to different responsibilities of men and women in terms of society, family and bringing up offspring. Different levels of male and female hormones at the early stages of human development result in unlocking of the genes responsible for different abilities. Besides forming the visible sexual differences, they also influence the emergence of differences in the way the male and female brains function. Women’s left and right side of the brain are more mutually connected, so the activity of their brains “disperses”, whereas men use either their left or their right side to a greater extent, depending on the nature of a task they are solving at the given moment. A woman can simultaneously watch her child, listen to the sounds in the kitchen, talk and knit, while a man can concentrate solely on one activity at a time. Different levels of sex hormones in prenatal stage lead to development of the different types of intelligence. While women show a more developed F factor (the ability to use words) and M factor (mechanical memory ability), men show a more developed R factor (highly developed ability to comprehend relations, and to find general principles, correctness and laws from given information) and N factor (the ability to easily and successfully operate with numbers, primarily in basic calculations). Female children prefer playing family games with the dolls they feed, attend and caress, whereas male children are more interested in games involving technical characteristics, construction, power, establishment of influence, battle and conquest. And while a woman is more endowed with emotional intelligence which reveals her sphere of responsibility and care- and those are the people she is immediately close to, a man is characterized with abstract intelligence – issues of general significance which induce him to be the source of safety for his wife and family, as well as the source of justice in human community. Therefore, corresponding to their place under the sun: for women it’s more important how they feel, while for men it is more important that what he is doing is worthy, powerful, significant, and just. In order to remain focused away from the responsibilities which primarily correspond to female gender, man’s sentimentality and ability to perform more than one thing at a time are blocked by male hormone testosterone during his development. The abilities of male and female genders are mutually complementary. In a stressful situation, a woman will rather react defensively with the emotion of fear (so that she can keep her children), whereas she will leave the offensive to her man, who is endowed for aggressive defense of his family with his psychophysical characteristics.

Age distinctions are a consequence of different types and levels of responsibility that a human being can bear from the early childhood through to the old age. In the earliest childhood the responsibilities of children are focused on the performance of their own physiological functions which are necessary for the survival; at the age of puberty there is a sudden psychophysical development and diversion of interests from their own selves to other people, especially of opposite sex, whereas at the mature age the responsibility for the family and social events is awaken in us. Any higher level of responsibility is accompanied by the corresponding hormonal activation of developing abilities which enable us to fulfill the responsibilities presented to us by our life’s needs.

At the age of puberty there is a highest rise in the level of sex hormones. We notice maximum exhibition of sex peculiarities in both genders in terms of their looks and psyche. Males’ body becomes more muscular (man should be a source of safety), and females’ with layers of fat on the chest, hips and stomach (woman should be capable of looking after their children). Men’s voices become deep, women's high-pitched. Excessive level of hormones results in increased body temperature and occurrence of a specific body scent. There is also increased sensuality, manifested through an increased need for food, which is adequate to the needs of accelerated psychophysical development, and through the sexual curiosity, which is purposeful to finding a spouse. At the age of puberty there is an awakening of human being’s need to become independent and take over their life responsibilities. Women have a strong need to have children, while men's need for fatherhood’s care gets activated only with the scent of a baby. Different kinds of abilities are now activated and are at our disposal, and it is greatly up to us and our interests to decide which abilities we are going to keep and then develop.

Somewhere around the age of thirty there is a new rise in the level of hormones with the purpose to activate those abilities which are the most adequate to the highest level of our responsibility towards our family and society. After they have performed their developmental function, the level of hormones is reduced.

The differences between people, which are the result of their different genetic origins, are mostly caused by their adaptation to different climate conditions. Unlike the White race, which was adapted to the moderate climate, members of the Yellow race are characterized by slow metabolism, proneness to obesity, stocky body, instinctive inclination towards making supplies and a multitude of other attributes which express their adaptation to the cold polar climate. Black race possesses attributes which indicate to their adaptation to the warm and sunny climate of the tropical and subtropical belts.

“We have already stated that stocky body with short extremities is more appropriate for keeping warm: this is exactly what we can see in genuine Yellow people, Tungusians, Mongols (and also Tungids) and the people of Siberia (Sibirids). Their hands and feet are extremely small... they have round heads with least parts that stick out and therefore less surface to be cold or freezing... Tungids’ heads have smooth forehead in most of the cases. The nose is low and narrow, cheekbones are wide and prominent; this makes the face more round, especially if it is covered in a fat layer of tissue, and the nose better protected. The eyes of the genuine Yellow people are more specific than the eyes of all the other people: the eye sockets are narrow, and the eyeballs in them and the other protective organs are well coated with fat; in addition, the upper eyelids cover the inner corner of the eye and makes tears run into the nose: that is the characteristic “Mongolian eye”. The narrow eye socket protects the eye form harmful gleam – reflection from icy and snowy surfaces. The other peculiarities of Tungids are sharp black hair, very weak beard and small amount of hairs.. Thick hair and perhaps a curly beard can maintain the exhaled moist air which can freeze, and that can harm the area around the lips.” (Božo Škerlj, Man, pg 315-317)

Adaptive differences between human races are somewhat caused by different levels of male and female hormones. Every person has both the male and the female hormones, but their mutual relation is determined by our gender (a man is determined by his Y chromosome), along with external influences to some extent (awareness of specific life needs or an intense stress that can change the hormonal imbalance), as well as different racial origins to a certain extent. And, while the Yellow race is characterized by excessive female hormones, with a developed eurosomatic vector in the constitution of both sexes, the Black race is characterized by excessive male hormones, so both sexes have a developed leptosomatic vector. Actually, since the members of the Yellow race live in unfavorable climate conditions, raising children requires a greater extent of attention from both parents, whereas in the more favorable climate conditions this requirement is less to some degree.

Man's feminine attributes (emotional closeness, etc.) are activated by an excess of female hormones so that he can get more interested in the events in his immediate environment (family). That female intelligence, which is less abstract and more practical, helps him successfully respond to the existential needs in specific polar climate conditions. Reduced level of male hormones reduces his interests in global issues (politics, philosophy and so on) which could in his case seriously endanger his family’s and his own existence. Male intelligence with its abstract issues would burden him with a responsibility he would not be able to fulfill, and hinder his practical intelligence needed for survival in the unfavorable climate conditions.

“Keith (Kiss) was the first who attempted to explain racial distinctions based on different effects of hormonal glands, that is, based on biochemistry. The difference certainly has its causes but it cannot be the primal cause of racial distinction. But, the fact is that the races, if we describe them as adaptive differences between humans, are complete types after all, which we cannot consider solely as an abstraction, but only from the encompassing viewpoint as specific morphological vectors. We can note and prove by bio-statistical methods that – at least so far in Europe – some sub-races or types are morphologically more associated with male gender and leptosomatic vector. The Alpides, for example, are closer to eurosomatic and female vector, whereas Mediterranides and Atlantides are closer to leptosomatic and male vector. Hence, in theory, masculinity or femininity and lepto- or eurosomatic types can be considered as "racial marks" of any sub-race or type. The above overview determined for European sub-racial types can be expanded to all the races. The Yellow race – in general – is more eurosomatic and “feminine” than the Black race. But, for instance, the Paleomongoloids are more feminine and eurosomatic than the Sinides.” (Božo Škerlj, General Anthropology, pg 89)

Researches done on the level of the male hormone testosterone with different human races revealed that it is most represented in the members of the Black race and least represented with the Yellow race. Difference in the level of hormones is equated in later age, but the one which existed during the prenatal development is essential.

"The races differ in their level of sex hormones. Hormone levels are highest in Blacks and the lowest in Orientals. This may tell us why Black women have premenstrual syndrome (PMS) the most and Orientals the least. The races also differ in testosterone level which helps to explain men's behavior. In one study of college students, testosterone levels were 10 to 20% higher in Blacks than in Whites. For an older sample of U.S. military veterans, Blacks had levels 3% higher than Whites (see the 1992 issue of Steroids). In a study of university students, Black. Americans had 10 to 15% higher levels than White Americans. The Japanese (in Japan) had even lower levels. Testosterone acts as a "master switch." It affects things like self-concept, aggression, altruism, crime, and sexuality, not just in men, but in women too. Testosterone also controls things like muscle mass and the deepening of the voice in the teenage years. ... The testosterone translates into more explosive energy. Entine points out that these physical advantages give Blacks the edge in sports like boxing, basketball, football, and sprinting." (J. Philippe Rushton, Race, Evolution and Behavior, pg 39, 14)

Higher level of testosterone during the prenatal development is indicated by the longer ring finger than the index finger on the right hand. The length difference between these two fingers is less with men and higher with women. The Black race has the least difference, then the White race, while the Yellow race has the highest difference between the two fingers.

If male and female hormones are equally present in the prenatal period, they activate a simultaneous development of both male and female intelligence, so the person possesses above average intelligence and is therefore talented for successful performance of jobs which require both types of intelligence. Research has shown that these people show a strong interest in science from an early age. However, a percentage of these people also become sexually deviant in puberty. If a person in the prenatal period has a lower level of both types of hormones, the range of their developed abilities is different and they can rather successfully perform the most practical jobs far better than if they had both expressive male and female intelligence. They are capable of performing their job with discipline and pedantry, without diversion to the issues which might make their mind wander and thus lessen their success.

A successful society consisting exclusively of scientists, warriors, merchants, etc. is unimaginable. For women who have excessive male hormones, and therefore developed male intelligence due to their anthropological origin, it is natural to take up occupations where they can show their greatest abilities. The same applies to men with more developed female abilities. Every person has their place under the sun and their abilities can contribute to the welfare of the entire human society.
