Phrenology: Destructiveness

Destructiveness is the area of dynamic energy. Some authors call it "Executive Energy". It stands for force, dynamism, fighting spirit (for any cause). It accumulates energy, basically for self-preservation. If untempered by the Moral faculties, which may direct its innate energy to higher aims, it will express itself in anger, violence, cruelty, vengeance.
