3 main somatatypes or in other words body types. Endomorph: viscerotonic personality (social, happy, jolly, easy to get along with). Endomorph is a bit bigger, soft and round in physic. Mesomorph: somatotonic personality (aggressive, like action and power. Mesomorphs have little body fat, muscular, strong, etc. Ectomorph: cerebrotonic personality (introverted, shy, reserved, sensitive, self-control, like privacy etc). The mesomorph was more likely to engage in criminal activities. Video: the brain and violence secrets of the mind: Should brain defects really excuse murder is one of the criticisms. Just because your brain has problems sometimes the person can overcome it so if they are not given this chance innocent people might be harmed. Murderers with these brain deficiencies may be let off easier. Could lead to something like a witch hunt so killing people off before they even do anything.
