Body type, or somatotypes, is a collection of body characteristics that was first described into a system of body analysis by a man named William H. Sheldon, PhD, MD in the 1940's.

William Sheldon's somatotypes theory suggests a relationship between body type and personality, with endomorphs described as relaxed, mesomorphs as energetic and assertive, and ectomorphs as introverted. Changes in body type may influence how others perceive an individual, which could in turn impact their self-image and behavior. However, personality is a complex trait shaped by a multitude of factors beyond just physical appearance.

William Sheldon's model was based on a 7 degree scale in 1/2 degree increments which really comes out to essentially a 13 degree scale. Sheldon published some tables for objectively determining somatotype. Those tables had 1,713 combinations.
The three somatotypes - endomorphic, mesomorphic, and ectomorphic - are basic classifications of animal body types according to the prominence of different basic tissues types, roughly: digestive, muscular, and nervous tissues. They form the core of a theory, developed in the 1940s by American psychologist William Sheldon, associating body types with human temperament types. This linkage is fairly simplistic and is seen as outdated in physiological science, but the account of somatotypes is still probably a valid, if limited way to sort basic body types.

Do you mean mesomorphic? There's a theory that the dominant one of the first three differentiated cell types influences that body form of the adult animal/person. The three forms, or somatotypes, are: endomorphic - tending to chubbiness and fond of socializing; mesomorphic - muscular and athletic; ectomorphic - typically skinny and intellectual.These are not pure forms (You may have noticed there are more than three kinds of people) but occur in varying degrees and mixtures.
