ABSTRACT

This chapter presents three sets of data aimed at the verification of hypothesis of the correlation of behavior personality with cultural types. The three sets include: the indicators of the type of personality of the historical figures in all fields of culture in the societies of Greece, Rome, and Western Europe; the indicators of the type of personality of the Roman Catholic popes; and the apportionment of the historical figures among the main compartments of culture. The proportion of the sensate type of personality, with an unbridled desire for the satisfaction of the biological impulses, should be higher in the sensate society than in the Ideational and Idealistic. In contradistinction to the pope's office, the occupation of the king by its nature cannot as a rule be successfully carried on by a conspicuously ideational personality. All this means that the close connection between the dominant type of culture and mentality, the relationship between the dominant type of culture.
