A. A. Roback, psychologist, of Harvard university, after much, •tudy of the sense of humor, says: "Certainly the sense of humor is not to be gauged by the intensity or frequency of laughter. In fact, from observation one might come t6 the conclusion that he who laughs loudest and oftenest has a tense of humor not unlike that of the laughing hyena or braying ass." Dr. Roback says intelligence is an * important factor in humor, and that the sense of humor is an ability to perceive possible incongruities in situations, even where we ourselve# are involved. He says subjective people have less humor than objective people, who are more able to laugh oven at themselves.
