Abstract
Published results concerning the relationship between physique and temperament are far from conclusive.This study used both boys and girls as Ss.All the Ss were somatotyped according to Parnell's method which is more objective than that of Sheldon.The Es rated the physique of the Ss, and the Ss rated their own temperament.The correlations between physique and self-description of temperament were very high and significant beyond the .001level of probability.The relationship between physique and temperament was higher in the sample of girls, which averaged 20 yr. of age versus 174 for the boys.
