There is first of all the intellective, speculative, contemplative, sacerdotal type, which tends towards wisdom or holiness—holiness referring more particularly to contemplation, and wisdom to discernment.
Next there is the warlike and royal type, which tends towards glory and heroism; even in spirituality—since holiness is foreveryone—this type will readily be active and heroic, whence the ideal of the “heroicalness of virtues”.
The third type is the “honorably average” man: he is essentially a hard worker, well-balanced, persevering; his center is love for work that is useful and well done, and carried out with God in mind; he aspires neither to transcendence nor to glory—although he desires to be both pious and respectable—yet he nonetheless shares with the sacerdotal type a love of peace and finds little appeal in adventures; and this predisposes him to a contemplativeness in keeping with his occupations.
Lastly there is the type that has no ideal other than more or less gross pleasure; this is lustful man who, not knowing how to control himself, has to be controlled by others, so that his great virtue will be submission and fidelity
