Answer 2

Cannon described different types of personality based on glands.

Canon personality theory:

The Canon personality theory stated that personalities depended on functions of the hypothalamus in the brain and its response in the viscera through smooth muscles and glands.

The overactivity or under-activity of the ductless glands like adrenal, pituitary, gonads, and thyroid glands can determine a person's emotion.

Malfunctioning of these glands can cause physical ailments, and also affect the mood, emotions, feelings, intellectuality, and personality of a person.
