Background: This article finds the correlation relationship between the body type and personality were the athletes.50 male subjects with age above 20 years and student athletes who are physical education from the Imam Reza University in Mashhad were selected. Authors aimed to see whether there is a relationship between body type and personality. Our hypothesis was that athletes endomorph features are like to people visual, mesomorph are like to people auditory and also ectomorph are like to people touch. Actually we wanted on the physical characteristics of athletes, his personality type can predict, or vice versa. Materials and Methods: The survey research (field) methods and questionnaires were used. According to the score that each subject is through a questionnaire was his physical type and personality determined and finally observations compare together and the relationship between them was obtained. Results and Discussions: Research findings showed that only 8% individuals were consistent with our hypothesis and correlation coefficient obtained using Pearson's formula was brought -0.03. The aim of correlation relationship was inverse also it’s the amount and intensity was very small (P<0.05). In other words, our hypothesis is vice versa and cannot be on the athletes body type predict them personality. Conclusion: Therefore, considering the results and considering that the -0.03 number in table of Pearson's critical values for sample size 50 people is not significant, so we conclude and recommend that the relationship between body type and personality athletes no will be existence.
