My body frame is naturally thin and light. I find it difficult to gain weight even when I eat generously, and I have prominent joints and veins.
My body is medium-built, well-proportioned, and muscular. I can gain or lose weight with relative ease when I apply discipline.
My body is naturally large, solid, and well-padded. I tend to gain weight easily and find it very difficult to lose, even with diet and exercise.
My skin tends to be dry, rough, or flaky — especially in cold or dry weather. I need to moisturise regularly to keep it from cracking or feeling tight.
My skin is naturally oily, warm, and prone to redness, rashes, or acne — particularly when I am stressed, overheated, or eating spicy food.
My appetite is irregular and unpredictable. Some days I am ravenous; other days I have almost no interest in food. My digestion is easily disturbed by stress, travel, or irregular schedules.
My appetite is strong and consistent. I get genuinely irritable, impatient, or even angry when meals are delayed or skipped. I need to eat on schedule to function well.
My appetite is steady and slow. I can go long periods without eating without feeling distressed, and I often eat more out of habit or emotion than actual hunger.
I frequently experience bloating, gas, constipation, or variable bowel movements. My gut reacts strongly to anxiety, cold weather, or eating at irregular times.
My digestion is fast and efficient — sometimes too fast. I tend toward loose stools or diarrhoea when stressed or overheated, and I have a high metabolic rate.
My energy comes in bursts. I can be intensely active and then suddenly crash. I often feel restless, scattered, or unable to settle — and I tire quickly under sustained effort.
I have strong, sustained energy throughout the day. I am driven, goal-oriented, and find it easy to push through tasks. I can become irritable or aggressive when I am forced to slow down.
My energy is slow to start but very enduring once I get going. I often feel heavy or sluggish in the morning, but once I warm up, I can sustain effort for very long periods.
I am a light sleeper. I wake easily during the night, have vivid or anxious dreams, and often feel unrefreshed even after a full night's sleep. Insomnia is a recurring issue for me.
I sleep soundly but need only 6–7 hours to feel fully rested. I wake up alert and ready to act. I find it difficult to sleep when I am mentally stimulated or have unresolved problems.
I sleep deeply and for long periods — often 8–10 hours — and still feel groggy or slow to wake. I could sleep through noise and disruption that would wake most people.
My mind moves very fast. I jump between ideas quickly, have difficulty focusing on one thing for long, and my thoughts race — especially at night or when I am anxious.
My mind is sharp, analytical, and focused. I am naturally critical, competitive, and driven to solve problems. I can become judgmental or perfectionistic when under pressure.
My mind is calm, steady, and slow to react. I process information carefully before responding and rarely make impulsive decisions. I can become stubborn or resistant to change.
My dominant emotional experience is anxiety, worry, or fear — particularly about the future, uncertainty, or what others think of me. I can spiral into overthinking very quickly.
My dominant emotional experience is anger, frustration, or impatience — particularly when things are inefficient, unfair, or not meeting my standards. I have a sharp temper that flares and cools quickly.
My dominant emotional experience is attachment, possessiveness, or grief — particularly around relationships, security, and loss. I hold onto people and situations long after they have run their course.
I am very sensitive to cold. My hands and feet are often cold even in mild temperatures, and I feel much better in warm, humid climates than in cold or dry ones.
I am very sensitive to heat. I overheat easily, sweat profusely, and feel uncomfortable in hot, humid weather. I prefer cool environments and feel more energised in cooler climates.
I tolerate both heat and cold reasonably well, but I am most bothered by cold and damp conditions. I feel sluggish and heavy in cold, wet weather and prefer warm, dry environments.
I speak quickly, enthusiastically, and often talk a lot — sometimes before I have fully thought through what I want to say. I can be scattered or inconsistent in my communication.
I speak with precision, conviction, and authority. I am direct, sometimes blunt, and I back my statements with logic and evidence. I dislike vague or evasive communication.
I speak slowly, thoughtfully, and deliberately. I choose my words carefully and prefer to listen before I speak. I am a good listener and people find me calm and reassuring to talk to.
I learn new things quickly but forget them just as fast. My memory is short-term and associative — I remember things by connecting them to other things, not by rote repetition.
I have excellent medium-term memory and learn best through understanding principles and systems. I retain information well when I understand the logic behind it, and I am naturally competitive in learning.
I learn slowly but retain information for a very long time. Once something is in my long-term memory, it stays there. I prefer deep, thorough understanding over quick surface-level learning.
I make friends easily and enthusiastically but struggle to maintain long-term relationships. I can be inconsistent, unreliable, or change my social preferences frequently.
I have a small, carefully selected circle of friends and colleagues. I am loyal to those who earn my respect, but I have little patience for people I consider incompetent, dishonest, or mediocre.
I form deep, lasting bonds with a small number of people and am intensely loyal to them. I am slow to trust new people but once I do, I am a devoted and consistent friend or partner.
Under stress, I become anxious, scattered, indecisive, and overwhelmed. I tend to freeze, overthink, or escape into distraction rather than confronting the problem directly.
Under stress, I become intensely focused, controlling, and aggressive. I attack problems head-on but can become domineering, critical, or explosive toward those around me.
Under stress, I withdraw, become passive, and avoid confrontation. I tend to eat for comfort, sleep more than usual, and resist change even when I know it is necessary.
I am highly creative, imaginative, and artistic. I think in images, metaphors, and possibilities. My creativity flourishes in unstructured, spontaneous environments.
I am naturally creative, competitive, and achievement-oriented. I set ambitious goals, pursue them relentlessly, and measure my self-worth largely through accomplishment.
I am naturally nurturing, patient, and supportive. I find deep satisfaction in caring for others, building stable environments, and maintaining long-term commitments.
