-Most “B” answers with some “A” in the quiz.-
Flamboyant Naturals are mainly Naturals, Soft YANG, with extreme YANG undercurrent. They usually have a long vertical line, meaning they look tall and can be tall. They have broad shoulders and their body shape looks like an inverted triangle. Their shoulders are broader than the rest of the Kibbe ID’s. Considered as one of the “most masculine” body types, if not the “most masculine” as it achieves the “ideal silhoutte of a man”. Of course, this is relative, and as we’ve mentioned before, this doesn’t mean you are masculine, as your essences change the way you are perceived.
The Natural family is very strong looking, because of their muscular bodies. The Flamboyant Natural is the closests to the YANG scale. You can see how they are broad and tend to have an athletic body. When it comes to men, they tend to have very big bodies, with muscular chest and arms, as opposite of a Dramatic.
When gaining weight, a Flamboyant Natural tends to accumulate weight below their waist, on their stomach area. Their shoulders will look broader too. They won’t gain a lot of weight on their chest, or their limbs. Their arms and legs will stay lean.

Hair for the

Chances are you have the body type, but you don’t have natural essence. This means, you should mantain the structure of your outfits based on your Kibbe, but follow the rest based on your essences.
