2. The responsibility of a happy
relationship is two fold. Both parties
concerned must share in this
responsibility
In Dating, as well as in any Mutual
Relationship the problem never lies
solely with “the other person.” It lies
with the individual themselves.
3. Structure / Function is a Methodology. It
is a technique for recognizing specific
Functions related to specific human
Structure. The goal is direction for the
Individual through understanding his/her
Structure / Function.
The unique contribution of Structure /
Function in the field of human
understanding is its approach to
counseling individual differences. The
emphasis of this approach is to
encourage uniqueness of each
individual through conscious self-control.

5. Each trait operates like temperature. Temperature is always in existence.
Likewise, the traits are always in existence in everybody. When there is a
lot of temperature it is considered "high," and when there is little
temperature, it is considered "low." Likewise, when there is a lot of trait, it
is considered "high." When there is little trait, it is considered "low."
People on opposite ends of the trait, High vs. Low, rarely understand each
other, even though their inner intent is always the same.
Through the process of Structure/Function, it is possible to identify the
traits on each individual face and understand how to communicate.
Structure/Function means that each trait has a Structure/Landmark.
Structure Landmark means that by observing a person's physical facial
features, you can read their traits, which helps identify their personality.

6. Hypocrites, father of modern medicine, and (namesake of the Hippocratic
Oath), published the following statement:
"To diagnose a man, you must know his character and his character is
revealed by his physical features."
Aristotle, Greek Philosopher, Educator and Scientist wrote a book on the
subject entitled "Physiognomy," a study of the outer man and his features,
which indicate aspects of his character.
The study of Structure/Function continues to surface throughout recorded
history.
Example: Roger Bacon, English Friar, Philosopher and
Reformationist wrote extensively on the subject
in the Middle Ages.
Napoleon, Military Genius, chose his generals by
Structure/Function.

7. In the 20th Century, research and application was spear headed by a person named
Edward Vincent Jones, who was a Judge in Sacramento, California. Through his
research, he discovered 68 traits that have been statistically validated to the 1%
level. Meaning the chances of a trait proving wrong was 1 out of 100.
In 1938, Mr. Jones made public, his Organization of Material as it related to "Person-
ology." He continued research and validation of the traits until his death in 1957.
Being a Judge, he did much of his research among prisoners of the State within a
controlled environment at San Quentin Prison.
The significance of Judge Jones initial research was magnified by the statistical
validation of the structural factors involved. This was accomplished by Robert L.
Whiteside's, who founded the Interstate College of Person-ology in 1957, to further
substantiate the development of the structuralism approach to the Psychology of
Man. Mr. Whiteside's has been responsible for the drawing together of the
Scientific and Empirical in the Structure/Function relationship. It is with his
modification and augmentation of Jones' research with which we are concerned
today when we speak of Structure/Function.
NOTE: Science = Verified Knowledge....that is, knowledge
that can be verified and communicated to other
people.
Empirical = Knowledge....based on experiment and
verification.

At the very time the broader picture of Principle and Application has been presented by the
Structure/Function principle, companion Sciences have been developing explosively, and that
development, from "DNA" to the "LASER BEAM," has backed up Structure / Function.
The invention of the Electronic Microscope, with the power to magnify a .25 Cent Piece, to the
size of New York's Central Park, has unlocked the Genetic Code in the Human Cell Nucleus, and
made "DNA" and "RNA" common household
"words". It is as easy for the layman to understand that not only your eye color, but many other
things about your build or body, such as your athletic or musical ability, have something to do
with your Individual Structure.
The recent discoveries in "DNA" indicate, as one example, that individuality is inherent,
Structured right in to the Individual from the time of his/her conception. Genetics do play a role
in forming Personality. Who a person is.....is who a person is.
The most recent texts on Neurology, "the nervous system," Anatomy, "the structure of Humans,"
and Physiology, "how our Structure fits with the work of other Structure," all attest to the obvious
fact.....Proportion indicates the kind of Function and its Power Potential in the Human Organism.
The "Spirit of the Times", has caught up with Structure / Function and is Favorable to it.
However, other techniques have not yet caught up with Structure / Function in Methodology,
Counseling Techniques, Practical Applications or with a basic Encompassing Philosophy.
Structure / Function is the timely inter-disciplinary science between the outright physical
sciences, such as Biology, and the human sciences.

Our Individual Structures are the direct result of our Genetic Inheritance, derived from our
Lineage. This Inherent Structure indicates our Basic Disposition, Native Inclinations of Function
and our Limitations. External circumstances may modify or limit our expressions or experiences,
but the lasting effect of any experience is determined by the individual receiving and recording
that experience.....not by the experience itself.
Therefore, individual consciousness is more powerful than circumstance in forming the kind of
life and action a person creates for him/herself.
To understand Human Function, you must understand Human Structure, for Structure equals
Functions. The Trait Factors are inclinations, but direction is established through Total
Consciousness, Not through any Single Trait.
"CHOICE ALWAYS SUPERSEDES STRUCTURE"
NOTE: DNA = D(EOXYRIBO)N(UCLEIC)A(CID)
Inside the nucleus of every cell are spiral molecules
called DNA (Life).
DNA is the substance that conveys the genetic
information which tells us how to grow.
NOTE: RNA = R(IBO)N(UCLEIC)A(CID)
RNA carries the instructions from the genes to the
building sites, where it directs the assembly of proteins.

Scientists classify things into their genera, and then further classify them into species and sub-species, each with
their own particular appearance and attributes.
Structure / Function divides the human species into types and further classifies until a very accurate and specific
description of the subject is the end result.

DALE CARNEGIE admonishes us to "think in terms of other interests."
STRUCTURE / FUNCTION gives us a better understanding of our Mates, Children,
Relatives, Friends, Business Associates, Elected Officials, and Neighbors..... ANYONE
and EVERYONE we meet in our life cycle.
PSYCHOLOGISTS tell us that in order to understand others feelings or motives we
must use empathy or, in other words, walk in their shoes. STRUCTURE /
FUNCTION truly allows the opportunity to walk in others shoes.

Human Understanding.

89. HOW TO USE TRAITS
• Determine where you are on each of the traits.
• Determine how you will approach the high and low from where you are on each trait.
• Learn the structure indicator, structure landmark and function of each trait until they
become second nature for you to recognize.
• Use the knowledge you have learned daily. Look at the people every where you go and ask
yourself how you would approach them.
• When you look for traits, look only for the extremes to jump out at you. When they do,
you will know the direction in that first, all-important, 20 to 30 seconds of the encounter.
• Study yourself each day, analyzing how you receive and perceive the information given to
you in the various daily situations and make a mental note of how the intensity of your
driver traits act and react to the stimuli received in these situations with other people.
• In the beginning, study and use one trait per week (the first one in the series) and analyze
this trait as it relates to your personality.
• Understand what the trait is and what it means. Identify this trait in other people as you
interact with them and adapt your personality to fit this particular trait and notice how it
effects your communication with them. The next week, use the first trait you have learned
plus the second trait in the series and the same scenario each week until you have
mastered all of the traits.
• Use it or lose it. PRACTICE – PRACTICE – PRACTICE.
