1. Endomorph: fat and soft viscerotonia (sociable). 2. Mesomorph: muscular and hard somatotonia (adventurous). 3. Ectomorph: thin and fragile cererotonia (restrained). People are classified on a 7-point rating scale for each category (ex: 1-7-1 is a pure mesomorph). Research (the link between delinquency and physique): Sheldon predicted that mesomorphs would be related to delinquency because of their muscularity and need for adventure. Results: research is inconclusive; he found that delinquents tend to be mesomorphic (and some endomorphic); recent research suggests there is no relationship.
