How to Find Your Kibbe Body Type Without a Quiz

While our Kibbe quiz is a great starting point, here's how to find your type through careful self-observation.

Stand in front of a mirror in simple, form-fitting clothing. Look at:

**Your facial bones:** Look at your jawline and cheekbones. Sharp and prominent? Blunt and wide? Soft and rounded? Balanced and moderate?

**Your overall frame:** Are you tall and narrow? Broad and athletic? Moderate and proportional? Petite and curvy? Petite and compact?

Step 2: Analyze Your Flesh Quality

**Firm and taut:** Yang-leaning types (Dramatic, Natural, Dramatic Classic, Flamboyant Gamine)

**Soft and yielding:** Yin-leaning types (Romantic, Soft Natural, Soft Classic, Soft Gamine)

**Moderate:** Balanced types (Classic, Classic Gamine)
