The Kidney Body Type is symbolized by a bowline knot. This unique knot takes hold when under pressure and relaxes when the pressure subsides. Procrastinating until sufficient pressure builds enables Kidneys to move further than they ever imagined.

Kidneys are known for their procrastination. If they feel like they can’t do something or don’t have all the answers, they’ll often put off a task until the very last minute. However, Kidneys are excellent listeners, typically responding to the words of others accurately and objectively. Easily bored with conventional routine, Kidneys need frequent opportunities and challenges.
