Male Thalamuses also have a moderate ability to attain muscle definition in their torso with a basic workout program.

The Thalamus type excels at collecting and evaluating information. Characterized by their sensitivity and awareness of their physical and emotional surroundings, they listen intently and store the information for future access. Their natural intellectual curiosity helps them learn new subjects easily and understand how things work and why. Thalamuses are open and receptive to change, freely taking in new information without judging or censoring it. Extremely sensitive to vibrations and music, Thalamuses have very acute hearing. Music provides a direct link to their emotions, and they need music to reconnect, let go of stress, shift into a creative mode and get motivated.
