Question

Sheldon’s {mesomorph personality corresponds to which Kretschmer type?}

• A. Pyknic type
• B. Asthenic type
• C. Athletic type
• D. None of these \medskip \textbf{Correct Answer:} (C) Athletic type \medskip

Hint:

Mesomorph \(\leftrightarrow\) Athletic; Endomorph \(\leftrightarrow\) Pyknic; Ectomorph \(\leftrightarrow\) Asthenic.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Somatotype mapping. Sheldon: endomorph–mesomorph–ectomorph. Kretschmer: pyknic–athletic–asthenic. Mesomorph (muscular, energetic, assertive) aligns with athletic.
Step 2: Eliminate others. Pyknic \(\approx\) endomorph; asthenic \(\approx\) ectomorph.
Step 3: Conclude. \[ \boxed{\text{Athletic type (Option C).}} \]
