Guillermo Quintana, the head of the psychology department (Madrid)
`Aryans` are characterised by their concern for the future, their higher intelligence, their aptitude or capacity for intellectual, scientific or artistic activity,
`Negroes` personality is characterised by traits of childish emotionalism, emotional instability, lack of balance, fear, lack of self-confidence, cowardice, mental weakness and neeed for comfort. In short, says Quintana, black people are innocently trusting, fanatical, passionate, instinctive, irritable, inconsiderate and lacking in noble feelings, childish and cowardly. individuals of the black race are primitive in their mentality and customs, show a certain uniformity and are inferior to whites in their psychological processes of analysis, reflection, reasoning, will, decision-making, self-control and artistic production.
As far as the psychological faculties of the 'yellow race' is concerned, they are slow, lazy, deficient in imagination and invention but skilled in assimilation, imitation, repetition and falsificatation.
