CLASSIFICATION OF PERSONALITY ON THE BASIS OF BODY TYPE (Physique) by W.H. Sheldon

W.H. Sheldon
William Herbert Sheldon was a American psychologist who classified personality of an individual on the basis of body posture and shape which are endomorph, mesomorph and ectomorph.




Endomorphs

  • Endomorphs have short arms and legs. that is their limbs are shorter due deposition of adipose tissue.
  • It is hard for them to loose weight.
  • They have soft body and have high capacity for high fat storage.
  • Their excessive mass hinders their ability to compete in sports, but those sports which requires strength like weight lifting, powerlifting and wrestling are suitable for them.


Mesomorphs

  • Mesomorphs have athletic physique and body composition, their chest and shoulder are broader than their waistline. 
  • They can easily gain or loose weight. they can perform well in sports need strength, agility and speed.


Ectomorphs

  • Ectomorphs are slim. they have elongated muscled and limbs,
  • They usually face great difficulties in gaining weight.
  • Their chest is also flat and have less muscle mass 
  • They don't have a lot of strength but perform wonderfully in endurance activities 
  • They have fast metabolism so that they can easily burn fat
  • Therefore they can perform well in aerobic activities like gymnastics.


Well none body type is good or bad, every body type has its own qualities

Alien Disclosure: Part 2

 American airforce declared that the leaked videos of UFOs are real and was recorded by American airforce. We still don't know about area 51, 52, 53 and many more. UFOs had been seen there and nearby region many times. Maybe the American government is hiding something extraterrestrial such as the alien spaceship. American government marked these areas restricted by the military. Is intelligence agencies of many nations know about the nonplanetary organisms? If yes, so why they don't disclose about them?  What you di, if you come to know your neighbours are actually aliens? This will be really shocking. Maybe they have a base on earth. It is possible that they are present on our planet much before our existence.  In human history, there are many things that were impossible for humans to do at that time. Such as Stonehenge and Pyramids of Giza. Even a group of people can't lift those heavy stones whose weighs in tons.  So, what do you think...

DNA FINGERPRINTING

  What is DNA fingerprinting?   Alec Jeffreys DNA fingerprinting is a technique to identify a person based on his/her DNA specificity. Every individual organism is unique. Thus every person has unique DNA fingerprint. It can't change by any known technique. It is a quick way to compare the DNA sequences of any two individuals. DNA fingerprinting developed by Alec Jeffreys.     Paternity test Applications:   Paternity test Criminal Identification Determination of population diversity Determination of genetic diversity   Principle: It has found that the DNA of an individual carries some specific nucleotide sequences which don't code for any information or proteins. These sequences repeated many times and found at many places throughout the DNA. These sequences of satellite DNA which are very specific in each individual and vary in number from person to person and are inherited. These are a variable number of tandem repeats (VNTRs). Each individual inherits th...

ROOT

CHARACTERISTICS —Located underground —Shows positive geotropism —Shows negative phototropism—Non-green, usually brown — Branched or unbranched—Do not have buds —Do not have nodes and internodes FUNCTIONS •Absorption of water and minerals •Anchorage (support from the base) TYPES TYPE 1.-TAPROOT When radicle germinated to form primary roots that are branched further into secondary and tertiary roots. E.g.- Dicot plants   TYPE 2.-FIBROUS ROOT When radicle germinated to form much fiber like roots. E.g.- Monocot plants TYPE 3.-ADVENTITIOUS ROOT These roots arise from other parts of the plant rather than radicle. E.g.- prop roots in the Banyan tree  MODIFICATIONS 1.Storage root: They have reserve food  Conical- e.g.- carrot                               Fusifor...
