The first professorial rank for faculty with the doctor’s degree beginning to teach in college is assistant professor. Associate professors are second-rank college teachers who have proven themselves in instruction and who have published scholarly articles. The title professor is reserved for individuals who have achieved advanced standing among scholars in their field. There are fewer professors than any other faculty rank.

Three common types of students are the selfish, the caring, and the searching. The most common selfish students are careful and sober-minded, and tend to be distrustful, suspicious, and egocentric. They avoid risk, are unadventurous, and prefer stability. They tend to worry and be hypochondriacs. The less common, caring students devote their lives to helping others, protecting the weak, and taking care of the sick and elderly. They may be counted on to help out whenever they can. The least-common, searching students are creative, desirous of knowledge, inventive, seek to understand the essence of all things, and strive to find cause and effect connections. They forego the comforts of life and family in their quest for knowledge. They need to know the reason why something is done a certain way. Of course many other types of students can be discussed.

3: Blood Type and Human Temperament 

According to blood typing and personality analysis, there are four basic human temperaments.  The largest group at 38% is the hot-tempered Type O's who are confident and strong-willed.  They make friends easily and go with the flow. Not self conscious, they frankly reveal inner feelings.  They are ambitious, cannot handle much detail, and like to touch and be touched.  The next-largest group of 34% are the cool-tempered Type A's.  They are reserved, polite, nervous, shy, and emotional.  The indecisive O's love nature and are team-players, but dislike being touched by the crowd.  Only 9% of people fit into the active, disorganized, and cheerful Type B group.  These adventurous and entertaining workaholics move at their own pace but like to be touched by others.  Just 4% are easy-going Type AB's.  The sympathetic, moody artists are shy and outgoing; they spot problems and skirt them. Everything they do is compelling; they never take things for granted. Appearing mysterious, they contribute harmoniously to society while disliking to be touched.  In sum, it takes all four personality types to complete society.
