William sheldons theory is that he proposed the general body shape was the key determinant of personality and behaviour. Sheldons research was done by collecting over 4,000 photos of male students and 650 personality traits. From this he was able to determine three basic body builds: endomorph, mesmorph and ectomorph.

Based on these types, sheldon looked for correlations including temperament abduction body shape, and delinquency and body shape. After 8 years of detailed studies he concluded that the average delinquent tended to be heavily mesomorphic and rearly ectomorphic.
