Henrik Sjöbring

'''Per ''Henrik'' Nils Sjöbring''' (9 July 1879 – 19 February 1956) was a Swedish physician and professor of psychiatry.

Sjöbring was born in Aringsås, Sweden. He received his doctorate in 1913 at Uppsala University and was a professor of psychiatry at the University of Lund 1930–1944. He has become best known for his variables for description of personality types. His so-called constitution factors (known as Sjöbring's theory of constitution) are called:

# capacity (intelligence) # validity (psychic energy) # stability (balance in keynote) # solidity (firmness, tardiness, tenacity)

By means of these variables, all people can be categorized as either normal, super- or sub-; for instance subcapable (unintelligent), subvalid (lack of psychic energy), normosolid, superstable, and so on. Provided by Wikipedia
