MBTI and body type

[Frosty]

I have a pretty average build.

Speculating I could see EXXPs and IXXJs having larger builds, possibly due to P dominance? Seems as if any correlation would be leaning towards weak, as build seems to be pretty genetically influenced. Type probably less so, but I could see maybe there being some sort natural association. So an overlap between the two, before and after accounting for how functions could affect body type, could be part of the reason. Intitially with different processes causing different views of life maintenance (food/eating), attracting people nearby with similar processes(types), to be able to live in a more efficient way, not having the time to account and deal with opposing processes. Reproducing and having children similar to themselves, and the ones who they had that were not similar-of a different type, dying off because they were less able to assimilate into the lifestyle of their parents-deadweight. Causing a string of family members to be born one after another sharing the same 'type' and biologically having that type associated with their own lineage. Causing an aa pattern, permutations with other similar lineages. Today having less correlation, but still possibly there. Probably absolute BS, but was fun to write.

Thin top, built quads and calves.

No need for leg day.

Haha kidding.

I'm 5'9. I'm just about slightly taller than the average I guess?

 

[BadOctopus]

To answer the OP's question, I'm 5'4", and I'm a size 2-4 on top and a size 6 on bottom. My best friend, who is black, says I have a "ghetto booty".

I've never been overweight, though. I'm pretty active, and I eat well (mostly). I'm just disproportionate.

Actually I think I unintentionally started this thread. If you make an interational study of it, I want to be mentioned

Well it all started with Senza mistyping herself.

Thanks for adding your height.

Mwahahaha my observations are coming true!!!!

"ISTJs don't stand tall and firm"? I don't know about that. All the ISTJs I know have a very upright, military posture. (In fact, they always get on my case when they see me slouching!)

I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this.

Stereotypically all TJs have sticks up their asses. But from the ones I have met they slouch.
[MENTION=4883]Cimarron[/MENTION] do you slouch?

That first link is surprisingly accurate for me. I'm 5'3 and a size 8 on top and bottom. I have really broad shoulders though.

[INTP]

Im something between fit(as in not skinny, but with no muscles it would be skinny) and normal if you care for that info.

 

[DreamBeliever]

I'm definitely an ectomorph! Couldn't gain weight if my life depended on it. lol I must say I'm also disproportionate. I'm like a size 0 on top & a 2-4 on bottom. Skinny pear shape. My friends loooove to comment on my back side, too. hehe I say size 2 overall, though, because that's what I take in dresses.

 

[OrangeAppled]

- J dom + Si types seem fuller. (ESJs and INPs)
I don't mean chubby, I mean filled. Even the slim ones seem filled. And yes of course there are skinny ones too.
ESJs tend to stand up straight

:huh
Yeah, I still don't know what this means.

Not sure what is "filled", unless you mean shapely? Like even if the women are thin, they curve, and the men look more lean than bony?

 

[miss fortune]

I don't see it as being particularly type related, as I have the same build as my father (intp) and his mother before (esfj)... more like genetics there

I'm 5'2"- 5'3" and have enough muscles to throw off BMI charts along with more feminine assets... I'm short enough that unless I'm very careful about how I dress I can easily come across as rather shlubby... I'm rarely careful about how I dress on a day to day basis

I load trucks for a living... it's good exercise

Yes. However, they tend to be more on the curve side than slim side.

This is what 'I' have observed. Not saying it's a fact.

[grey_beard]

Yes. However, they tend to be more on the curve side than slim side.

This is what 'I' have observed. Not saying it's a fact.

Every INTJ I've known slouched and tended towards either
a) rail thin (forgetting to eat)
b) pronounced paunch (sitting at the the computer, forgetting to stop eating)
Every INFP I've known has tended towards beanpole. But -- the one's Ive known in person have all been type 9s. Perhaps other E-types do the "pleasingly plump" thing to go
with those evocative eyes.

0.02 worth.

 

[Kensei]

I am 230lbs, 18 years old, muscular, can lift more than most guys my age, but I'm only average height. I am either ENFP or ESTP if that helps.

 

[OrangeAppled]

Yes. However, they tend to be more on the curve side than slim side.

This is what 'I' have observed. Not saying it's a fact.

Most INFPs I've known are thin, not just thinner than average, but thin by most people's standards. I am thin also....and would be in pretty much any country. I'm 5'7 and the most I've ever weighed in my life was maybe 128 lbs, usually closer to 120. An INFP friend of mine is like size 0 skinny with a stereotypical Asian girl figure, after having two kids too. I know some plumper ones too, but I'd say the skinny ones outnumber them.

So I don't see any pattern at all, honestly.

 

[great_bay]

I didn't know OrangeAppled was so tall for a girl. I always pictured her to be 5"3 or 5"4.
