According to the norwegian author Lars Mytting, the following advice was published in a weekly magazine in Main, USA at the end of the 19th century for reading a mans personality traits by examinating his woodpile.

* Upright and solid pile: Upright and solid man.
* Low pile: Cautious man. Could be shy or weak.
* Tall pile: Big ambitions, but watch out for sagging and collapse.
* Unusual shape: Freethinking, open spirit. Again watch out, the construction may be weak.
* Flamboyant pile: Extroverted, but possibly a bluffer
* A lot of wood: A man of foresight, loyal.
* Not much wood: A life lived from hand to mouth.
* Logs from big trees: Has a big appetite for life, but can be rash and extravagant
* Pedantic pile: Perfectionist. May be introverted.
* Collapsed pile: Weak will, poor judge of priorities.
* Unfinished pile: Unstable, lazy, prone to drunkenness.
* Everything in a pile on the ground: Ignorance, decadence, laziness, drunkenness, possibly all of these.
* Old and new wood piled together: Be suspicious. Might be stolen wood added to his own.
* Large and small logs piled together: Frugal. Kindling sneaked in amoung the logs suggests a considerate man.
* Rough, gnarled logs, hard to chop: Persistent and strong willed, or else bowed down by his burdens.
* No woodpile: No husband.
