Constitutional theory - somatotypes: personality based off of body types, ectomorph, tall and lean, cerebrotonia, tense introverted. Inhibited personality: endomorph, plump and short, visceratonia, affection. Eysenck"s personality theory: relationships between traits create superordinate trait dimensions, extroversion - introversion, neuroticism (emotionality)- stability, psychoticism - superego. Few people possess the traits that reflect the far ends of the dimension: most people fall somewhere between the extremes.
