http://www.innerexplorations.com/catpsy/t1c4.htm explains it well, but basically this guy decades ago thought that stereotypically a fat person is friendly etc... and it's obviously pure stereotype, as e.g. I'm more of an endomorph (that is still changing - yet again, he may have even thought that bodies remain as they are forever) but certainly have the supposed reflective traits of an ectomorph (it's described cutely on that page).

It sounds a little like Ayurveda medicine with mind-body types.

I have the bone structure of an endomorph (larger hips and chest + smaller hands and feet) but I'm not that fat. Psychologically I should be an ectomorph with some mesomorph traits. It doesn't really match up.

I'm physically between endomorph and mesomorph. I like food, and I don't like peple nor exercise. I'm psychologically an ectomorph and a little endomorph.
