Phrenology: Cautiousness

Cautiousness is a negative energetical faculty. It stands for fear and shyness and will slow down activity. An overdeveloped Cautiousness will give a shy and fearful subject, with procrastination, irresolution and indecision. Moderately developed, it brings balanced circumspection, the capacity to act prudently and carefully. 
A negative Cautiousness stands for reckless action, imprudence, immoderation.
