Best Answer

Sheldon noted three personalities based on their physical make-up.

EndomorphThe Endomorph is physically quite 'round', and is typified as the 'barrel of fun' person. They tend to have:
  • Wide hips and narrow shoulders, which makes them rather pear-shaped.
  • Quite a lot of fat spread across the body, including upper arms and thighs.
  • They have quite slim ankles and wrists, which only serves to accentuate the fatter other parts.

Psychologically, the endomorph is:

  • Sociable
  • Fun-loving
  • Love of food
  • Tolerant
  • Even-tempered
  • Good humored
  • Relaxed
  • With a love of comfort
  • And has a need for affection
EctomorphThe Ectomorph is a form of opposite of the Endomorph. Physically, they tend to have:
  • Narrow shoulders and hips
  • A thin and narrow face, with a high forehead
  • A thin and narrow chest and abdomen
  • Thin legs and arms
  • Very little body fat

Even though they may eat as much as the endomorph, they never seem to put on weight (much to the endomorph's chagrin). Psychologically they are:

  • Self-conscious
  • Private
  • Introverted
  • Inhibited
  • Socially anxious
  • Artistic
  • Intense
  • Emotionally restrained
  • Thoughtful
MesomorphThe mesomorph is somewhere between the round endomorph and the thin ectomorph. Physically, they have the more 'desirable' body, and have:
  • Large head, broad shoulders and narrow waist (wedge-shaped).
  • Muscular body, with strong forearms and and thighs
  • Very little body fat

They are generally considered as 'well-proportioned'. Psychologically, they are:

  • Adventurous
  • Courageous
  • Indifferent to what others think or want
  • Assertive/bold
  • Zest for physical activity
  • Competitive
  • With a desire for power/dominance
  • And a love of risk/chance
