What is now the general type of your build?—heavy or slight, muscular or not robust, fat or thin, tall or short ( for your sex) in stature?

Are your bones and joints large or small?

Are the lines of your bosom flat or curved, compared with the average model of your sex? Is your chest broad or narrow?

Are your shoulders bony and muscular?—or round and soft?—Is there a decided femininity of line to be traced between the base of the neck and the fall of the shoulder?

Are the general outlines of the upper arm, and of the lower also, more of a rounded, conical shape, than muscular and flat?

Is your wrist flat or round?

Are your hands conspicuously hairy or hairless, thick or thin, short or long, broad, or narrow, etc. In grasping anything, as also in handshaking and so on, is your grasp vigorous or relatively weak?
