Height plays a bigger part in Kibbe’s system than in most body type tests. Women who are about 5 ft 7 in or taller have a long “vertical line” and are typed as Dramatic, Soft Dramatic or Flamboyant Natural. The Gamine types, by contrast, are compact and usually 5 ft 5 in or shorter. This Kibbe body type test applies that rule automatically, using your answer to the first question.
Height isn’t only a number, though. Someone of average height with long legs and a long neck can look taller than they are, which is why the first question asks how tall you look as well as how tall you are.Height plays a bigger part in Kibbe’s system than in most body type tests.
