ABSTRACT
Character is the fixed individual form of a human being. Since there is a form of body as well as of behaviour or mind, a general characterology must teach the significance of both physical and psychic features. The enigmatic oneness of the living being has as its necessary corollary the fact that bodily traits are not merely physical, or mental traits merely psychic. The distinction between mind and body is an artificial dichotomy, a discrimination which is unquestionably based far more on the peculiarity of intellectual understanding than on the nature of things. Since the earliest times, Freud’s attempts have repeatedly been made to classify individuals according to types and thus to bring order into what was confusion.
