PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS

PSYCHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS
|
|
  Very healthy and strong with consistently high energy and stamina throughout youth. Dense, solid musculature throughout torso, arms, thighs and calves. Excess weight often a problem, as weight gain easily results from eating too much, failing to get sufficient strenuous exercise and too much emotional stress. Can also lose weight easily -- the classic "yo-yo" dieter.
|
|
Often charming and charismatic, Adrenals possess a quick, powerful energy. When an Adrenal enters the room, they make themselves heard -- and people listen. Good at surveying facts and discovering practical, down-to-earth solutions. Mentally quick and alert, Adrenals dislike staying at a task too long and will move on if it becomes boring. Independent minded and prone to act, Adrenals prefer total control of tasks and situations.
