Answer:
American psychologist William Herbert Sheldon divides human body types into three types and associates each of them with a certain type of temperament.
Explanation:
The body types and associated personalities as prescribed by Sheldon are as follows:
- Endomorphic- Those whose physique is 'round'.They are quite fat and psychologically are sociable, tolerant, relaxed, and good-humored
- Ectomorphic- They are extremely skinny and are never able to put on weight. Psychologically they are socially anxious, artistic, quiet, and thoughtful.
- Mesomorphic- Their body is the ideal type, falling in between the body types of ectomorphs and endomorphs. Psychologically they are courageous, adventurous, dominating, and competitive.
Thus, these are the body types of Sheldon.
