Extract

The theory that physique and temperament are correlated remains a subject of controversy. Various workers in the field differ in their findings and, in the past, investigations on body build and its psychological correlates have been handicapped by lack of precise knowledge of the variations in body build. In recent years improved statistical methods of analysis have been applied to the study of body build, enabling the variations in physique to be analysed and assessed inductively.
