What body type are you?

[Steve]

Ectomorph, Mesomorph, Endomorph?

I've always been fairly slim (6'2" 162 lbs), so I've thought I was purely ectomorph, but I've always had a light muscle tone even if I don't work out, and now that I do work out, the muscle builds fairly easily (not as hard to build as the typical ecto), so I'm probably somewhere between ecto and meso. Probably 75% ecto and 25% meso, since my shoulders are narrower and bone structure is more like that of an ecto, and the fact that I can pretty much eat whatever and don't put on weight.

I forgot which is which... link please.

[reyn_til_runa]

basically 100% mesomorph it appears

even when thin, i am curvy to some extent. the muscles in my face are rather intimidating too. i can turn my forearm or even just wiggle a finger and see lots of muscles and tendons working under the skin, though not in bulk. they are just present like little machines. if i actually adopt a fitness routine i become insanely strong and fit in a hurry.

i tan very well and have thick dark hair, fwiw. i actually never knew this was associated with a body type.

i tend to look "too" skinny to others when i am anything under 120 lbs (i'm 5'2"). cheekbones, even eye sockets, seem muscle ridden.

okay, i was kidding about the last part, sort of.

[discojoe]

Not sure. The problem with Ectomorph is that I build muscle easily, gain and lose fat easily, and have very broad shoulders. The problem with Mesomorph is that I have a slender arms and legs, and generally appear slim, though this may be because I am 6'3" in addition to having slender limbs. My waist is a pretty average size when I am at a normal weight.

[Elro]

Animorph.

I'd say meso 60 ecto 20 endo 20 I think, It's actually hard for me both to put on weight and to lose weight, I almost always remain around the same

However if I really really eat a lot I can get fatter, or if I really really diet hard I can become very slim. Both situations only last for a short time.

[marooned]

I've been described as "willowy" and "soft" before. I'm not an ectomorph because they are often very thin in the *frail* way. I have never been frail even when I was anorexic and weighed very little. I'm not a mesomorph because I don't build muscle easily at all. I am less muscular than most everyone (except for the ectomorphs ). I do have some of the traits of the endomorph in that I tend to be soft... and weight will gather mainly in the abdomen. But my head isn't spherical, I suppose it is somewhat large though... my face is more oblong.

I'm just making up numbers here... but maybe I'm 65% endomorph, 35% mesomorph or something.

Yeah I'm not frail at all, like a the way people typically think of an ectomorph, actually I'm fairly strong, but the more defining factors are the narrower shoulders and short upper body relative to arm length, and the fast metabolism. Brad Pitt is an ectomorph, and I doubt people think of him as a skinny frail person.

[Creepy-bg]

endomorph probably

[Creepy-Cyclops]

I'll go for umm..let me see, I can put on weight easily but when I eat healthily I loose it easily. People describe my build as slim-medium. I'm not super strong but I can put on strength fairly easily, i'd say 40% ecto 30% endo and 30% meso, or something

[implied]

according to the test that diana posted, i'm a mesomorph. it seems pretty much accurate. i could possibly be an ectomorph.

MESOMORPH.

You have a naturally fit body but, to maintain or improve it, you should adopt an exercise and diet regimen that compliments your build. You can strength train more often and for longer periods of time, but be careful not to overdo it. Train with moderate to heavy weighs and keep a moderate pace, making sure not to rest too long between sets. You'll find you gain muscle quite easily. Don't fear; you won't get "bulky." When you're happy with your muscle size, simply train to maintain. Stick to a good, healthy diet to stay lean and muscular, and watch for any slow-creeping fat gains. Engage in and enjoy aerobic activities, but be careful not to overdo it.



I was VI-ed in another group and someone told me I was 40% mercurial 30% Venusian and 30% Solar. They said it was rare to be a pure body type and not a mixture of at least two.

Body Types

MERCURIAL (3D-): Named after Mercury (Hermes), in mythology the messenger god. Vulcan was the "smith" of the pantheon. This Bodytype corresponds to the Artisan Role. It is usually lean and short, as Mercury was said to be agile without being muscular. The body is energetic but is not geared for physical activity so much as for mental activity — the creation and conveyance of ideas and words. They have a low pain threshold and a tendency to hypochondria. Male Mercurials are the most prone of the Bodytypes to wear a mustache or beard. The personality is perceptive, impulsive, and restless. Mercurials look boyish or girlish rather than mannish or womanish.

VENUSIAN (3D+): Named after Venus (Aphrodite), the goddess of love and fertility. This Bodytype corresponds to the Sage Role. Consequently this is a beautiful or handsome body. I don't just mean OK to look upon. I mean it is very pleasant to look upon, whether male or female. The skin is clear of blemishes, the hair is bountiful and lush, the features are attractive to the point of being distinguished, the body is well proportioned, tending to no extreme or irregularities. They eyes are large and dark. The skin is darker than usual. Venusians could be models. Some Venusians have a tendency to let their looks go to pot.

SOLAR (2D+): Named after the Sun (Sol, Helios). This Bodytype corresponds to the Priest Role. The body is medium to tall in height, and slight of build, perhaps even fragile in appearance. The hands and feet are also long and thin. This type is not built to withstand the rigors of physical activity, but their presence is distinctive and impressive, with a tendency to wide shoulders. The features are refined and delicate, and have a youthful appearance. The forehead is broad and the eyes are set widely. The skin seems transparent if not luminescent — they almost shine with an inner light. The hair is silky and shiny. The overall impression is ethereal, otherworldly or angelic — not of this earth. Their behavior is "airy" — exuberant, graceful and childlike.

Something else to add: Sheldon based this on the concept of three embryonic tissue types. He also tried to link his body type to personality type..and he failed, interestingly.

i'm sure that i'm primarily an Endomorph, with a few traits of the other 2 types. i always have carried extra fat, i'm pear-shaped, "soft"-looking, gain muscle easily, don't lose fat easily, and have slim wrists, ankles, and a long neck.

weirdly, the bodybuilding.com test gave me these results, saying that i'm primarily a Mesomorph, but i know that isn't right.

ENDOMORPH: 50%
MESOMORPH: 13%
ECTOMORPH: 38%

side note: i find myself often attracted to men that have Ectomorph traits. opposites attract? ;P

that's weird it said you're a mesomorph, since that's your lowest score... something went screwy there, I think..

[glam]

i wonder if it's the quiz's way of resolving the fact that the two highest scores are Endo and Ecto, because i don't think it's possible to be a combination Ecto-Endo type.

I'm surprised though that endo-ecto doesn't exist...

Yep.... rings true ime also and what i would have predicted.


TRAITS
ENDOMORPH: 50%

YOUR BODY IS BETWEEN AN
ENDOMORPH AND A MESOMORPH.

Endomorph: Your biggest concern should be losing fat and adopting a lifestyle that keeps it off. Strength training should be done to get a better muscle-to-fat ratio, which will help to boost your metabolism. Use moderate weights at a fast training pace, allowing for very little rest between sets and exercises. Lower your calorie intake and eat frequent but small meals to make sure you're still getting adequate nutrition. Eliminate sugar, sweets, and junk food from your diet. Get your heart pumping by engaging in some form of daily activity such as brisk walking or biking.

Mesomorph: You have a naturally fit body but, to maintain or improve it, you should adopt an exercise and diet regimen that compliments your build. You can strength train more often and for longer periods of time, but be careful not to overdo it. Train with moderate to heavy weighs and keep a moderate pace, making sure not to rest too long between sets. You'll find you gain muscle quite easily. Don't fear; you won't get "bulky."

I'd always been an hour glass with more padding. Now I'm definitely fat, but my high waist is hidden by the clothes that fit the chest and hips, making me look even bigger. The only way I can lose weight is if I drastically cut carbs and eat multiple meals during the day. But I can't afford to eat that way. PCOS, anxiety, and carbs don't work well together, heh.

We have almost the same body type, hi 5 girl!!!

[Velvet]

50% ecto 50% meso

[Myst]

ok for me from post #81 I'm like the Te/Se/ISTx one, that fits my type


in the body type test a mesomorph:

ENDOMORPH: 25%
MESOMORPH: 63%
ECTOMORPH: 13%


and from the michaelteachings site that Aylen mentioned, I'm some mix of martial + lunar + venusian and/or saturnine

[Sol]

Looks as more eating and physical training makes people extraverted.

[anndelise]

Causation? No.

[Adam Strange]

Mesomorph, not a surprise.
Wide shoulders, ran track in school, can build muscle quickly (too quickly, from too much testosterone - it is also thinning my hair in back But the cure for that is worse than the disease).
The surprise is I got exactly the same score as Myst:

ENDOMORPH: 25%
MESOMORPH: 63%
ECTOMORPH: 13%

The test must have very limited resolution.

It's 8 questions so that's it's resolution level. Btw one question I can answer differently and then I get:

ENDOMORPH: 13%
MESOMORPH: 63%
ECTOMORPH: 25%

And yeah I'm like you, it's not a surprise to me to score as a mesomorph.

[silke]

I feel like my body type is mostly mesomorphic leaning on endomoprhic, my test results showing the same. Incidentally, I find people of similar body types (meso and endomorphs) to be most physically and aesthetically appealing.
