Taiheki (体癖、たいへき) is a concept on one's bodily tendency in sensitivity, temperament, movement and personality[1][2]. The concept was established by Haruchika Noguchi, who was the founder and a teacher of seitai in Japan. Noguchi said that man's tendency of sensitivity can be divided into five categories, each of which is divided into two types, one of which is active (odd-numbered types) whereas the other of which is passive (even-numbered types). In addition, there are two anomalous types. Thus, 12 types of taiheki in total have been defined [1][2]. Among them, odd-numbered types have a tendency to release of compressed energy in a active way, whereas even-numbered types are passive and require others' attention to release compressed energy[1][2]. The 12 types are like pure colors in color, and they are usually mixed up with each other in one person (this is called complex taiheki)[2].
The concept of taiheki is somehow similar to the typology by Ernst Kretschmer, Enneagram of Personality and Four Temperaments. However, taiheki is not only applicable to psychological aspects such as one's emotional or behavioural tendency, but also to one's physical characteristics including shape of face and body, balance of weights, and tendency seen in movement[1][2]. According to him, all these aspects are correlated with state of 5 lumbar vertebrae[1][2]. In Japanese, tai (体) means “body”, whereas heki (癖) represents “habit” or "tendency". Noguchi established the concept of taiheki through his as activity as healer and seitai teacher sometime during early 1950's.
