The Average Man Portrayed by Columbia Psychologist
A New York Times summary reports L Hollingsworth’s composite of the average man. He is 63, 150 pounds, 67 inches tall, exits school in eighth grade, knows little civics, speaks one language, and scores like a 14 year old on tests. He works with his hands, earns about $1000 yearly, marries early, has 3 to 5 children, and trusts common sense while avoiding religious life. He accepts superstition, dislikes deep learning, and is vulnerable to quack analysts and sharp salespeople.

The text contrasts this with the average man who owns a flivver, belongs to a lodge, uses tobacco, wears a Sunday suit, enjoys excursion trains, and is labeled a whisky hound amid bootlegging reputations.
