As is found more often in bisexual than in homosexual persons, he is of predominantly masculine type, possesses great vitality, and desires to exert all his faculties.  He has a sound nervous system and is very free from all “nervousness.”  He has written a scientific treatise and can study undisturbed amid violent noises.  His voice is manly (in singing deep base).  He can whistle.  He is not vain, though well formed, and his hands are delicate.  His favorite color is green.  The demonstrative
