Phrenology Report

Phrenology Reading

Results

While in Minnesota, Andrew, Sweetie and I visited the Museum of Questionable Medical Devices in Minneapolis. I decided to have a phrenology reading done - this is a reading of your personality by the bumps in your head. Here are the results. Note: The print-out was a bit fuzzy in places, so I have question marks where I couldn't quite parse the words. Also, words apparently misspelled here are spelled as they appear on the report and materials relating to the Psychograph.

Also check out the vocations I'd well suited for based on this report.
