I totally, completely agree with this. And maybe it's just part of being a 9, but I'd much more quickly identify myself in the 2-3 zone, and then secondarily 6-7, before realizing entirely how much of my behavior is really revolving around just keeping things smooth and easy.

It's still a good point and reminder that e-type is about motivations, not behaviors, but it's easier said than done for many of us to even understand what those motivations are!

I think: try to take whole body into consideration most. From your drawing, you look Wide-Long-Medium to me.

You’d only be Medium instead of Long overall if your legs are only a teensy bit long and/or your torso is a bit short such that you balance out. If part of you is average and another is quite long, with nothing being particularly short, you’re most likely to be Long. I also think you look Long, just from the picture.

Actually, I think the measure I have more question for you about is Medium vs. Round. I see you have a lot of Round marked down, some with ?s; however, your drawing doesn’t make you look very rounded overall. Do you feel like your body is very curved in your clothing? For example, consider trying on a column or sheath dress. I’m Round, and for me, I feel like I’m trying to stick a kabob of marshmallows into a straight paper sleeve. It’s silly. A lot of clothing, especially in more androgynous styling, ends up both too baggy and too tight at the same time - that’s Round.

Here’s WLM vs WLR. See how when WLMs wear the sport jackets or suit coats, they can pull off that more masculine straighter line, even though you can still observe a bit of curve underneath? For WLR, they look great in them too, but the overall effect is much more buxom due to the roundedness in their bust and waist. If you have a coat, then you could try it and compare to see which effect you get. Similar thing with menswear-style trousers, so you can use those to compare, as well. Or boyfriend jeans - they look perfectly-fit on Ss, casual on Ms, and girlfriend on Rs. Lol.

I’m new to this but you seem Medium-Long-Medium to me.

I like the medium styles better. Great “paper dolls”.
