“Let me have men about me that are fat,” says Julius Caesar to Marcus Antonius in Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar. In Julius Caesar’s opinion, fat people were more trustworthy than thin ones, that is, those with a “lean and hungry look” who “are dangerous.” Shakespeare wasn’t the first person to categorize personality according to body type, and if you’ve ever reacted to people based on the way they look, you know he wasn’t the last. The relationship between physical characteristics and personality has been explored for thousands of years and used to predict and explain the actions of others. Although prehistoric man probably had his own ideas about the skinny guy in the cave next door, the ancient Greeks historically have been responsible for Western theories about body and character. The Greeks believed the body was composed of four humors, or fluids: blood, black bile, yellow bile, and phlegm. The fluid someone had the most of determined his or her temperament or personality type- sanguine (hopeful), melancholic (sad), choleric (dull or slow). Although this ancient theory eventually lost its popularity, it was replaced over the next few thousand years by all kinds of other ways to identify and catalog people by type. One of the most popular modern theories was proposed by William Sheldon in the late 1940s and early 1950s. He suggested a relationship between body shape and temperament. According to Sheldon’s system, the endomorph—with an oval-shaped body and large, heavy stomach—is slow, sociable, emotional, forgiving, and relaxed. The mesomorph—with a triangular shape and a muscular, firm, upright body—is confident, energetic, dominant, enterprising, and at times hot-tempered. The ectomorph—with a thin, fragile body—is tense, awkward, and meticulous. A number of researchers since Sheldon have contributed their own ideas to the basic theory that body shape and personality are somehow connected. Going one step beyond basic shape is the idea of “body splits.” This theory looks at the body in sections—top to bottom, front to back, torso and limbs—with the idea that each part of the body tells its own story. For example, the upper half of the body, consisting of the chest, head, and arms, is expressive and conveys our feelings to others through gestures and facial movements. The lower body, on the other hand, is associated with more deeply felt emotions—particularly those about family, children, and self-image. According to this theory, someone with a well-developed upper body will be active and outwardly confident. However, if this same person has noticeably thinner legs and narrow hips, he or she might have trouble expressing himself or herself to others, lack self-confidence, and find it difficult to think about deep emotions. A person with a small chest but large hips will have opposite traits, such as being shy in public, but emotional and loving towards friends and family. Look for many clues to personality: weight distribution (heaviness or thinness in different parts of the body), muscular development, grace and coordination, and general health. For example, does one half of the body seem healthier, or more tense, or more relaxed than the other? Look for tense shoulders or stiff legs and hips. Backs and fronts are different, too. The front of the body is associated with our conscious self, the one we think about and show to others. The back, which is hidden from us most of the time, is associated with our unconscious self—that is, the feelings we hide from both ourselves and others. Many times, we don’t want to think about or show emotions such as anger and fear, and we tend to store these feelings in the back. If you’re feeling stress, your back is likely to be tense. People who find it hard to deal with problems without losing their temper are likely to have some kind of back trouble. Look around you at the stories backs tell. A stooped back is weighed down by burdens or troubles. A stiff and rigid back is hiding anger or stress. A straight and graceful spine is strong and flexible. Do you know what kind of back you have? Finally, there is the split between the torso, or body, and the limbs, or arms and legs. You express yourself with your arms and hands, and even your legs in the way you move about. People who are outgoing often use their hands and arms to gesture when they talk. They also walk with long confident strides. Shy people hold their hands and arms quietly close to them and walk with small steps. Energetic people often tap their feet and move around a lot because it’s hard for them to sit still. They can sometimes be impatient and are not the best listeners. There is no end to theories about body shape and personality, and there is no doubt that certain people with certain bodies often have very predictable characters. However, there are some researchers who believe that the many instances in which body and personality go together are due to stereotyping; that is, we expect a certain type of person to have certain traits, so we see those traits whether they are there or not. For example, muscular people are believed to be dominant and forceful, so we treat them as leaders. But sometimes they are actually shy and timid. Fat people are supposed to be happy and warmhearted, but in reality they can just as easily be depressed or withdrawn. Sometimes people will even act the way they think others expect them to act. By doing that, people fill the role in which we picture them. No matter how you look at bodies and personalities are related, whether by chance or by choice. However, there are always exceptions to the rule—and whenever that happens, there goes the theory. After all, we’re only human, and that means we have a mind of our own whether we’re fat, skinny, or something in between.
