Which of the following rating represent the pure mesomorph individual ?

  • A.7-1-1
  • B.1-7-1
  • C.1-1-7
  • D.6-2-2

Answer: B

The pure mesomorph is rated 1-7-1.

In Sheldon's somatotype system a body is rated on three components, each from 1 to 7, always in the order endomorphy, mesomorphy, ectomorphy. A pure (extreme) mesomorph, muscular and broad-shouldered, has the maximum 7 for mesomorphy and the minimum 1 for the other two: 1-7-1.

7-1-1 is the extreme endomorph (round, soft body), 1-1-7 the extreme ectomorph (thin, linear body), and 6-2-2 is a dominant endomorph with some of the other two components.
