Abstract:
Constitution typology is thought of as a classification that is based on a few fundamental properties of the organism. These properties steadily distinguish individuals and permit the prediction of manifold secondary (external) features of types. At the transition from one constitutional type to another, concordant changes of trait values are determined by the respective changes of general causal factors. Theoretically, external constitution typology should be constructed on the basis of trait concordant "dynamics" under the change of fundamental factors at the individual level. Therefore, it does not depend on statistical relations characterizing population level. Causal factors and their influences on traits are impossible to be correctly and uniquely determined on the basis of population statistics relations. Causal factors do not coincide with the statistical ones of multivariate biometric analysis; equally, trait regression dependencies on statistical factors do not coincide with the causal influences.
