2. Another way. intercostalization: feel the lower border of the ribs, apply the index and thumb of both hands to the intercostal space so that a triangle is obtained. The degree of divergence of the angle will be an indicator of the somatotype: the right angle is a mesomorph, the blunt angle is an endomorph, the sharp angle is an ectomorph.
