Objective: SDQ is the measure for diagnosis of the Sasang constitutions. It evaluates external shape, mentality and symptoms of Sasangin. We analysed the items related with external shape to identify the feature of Sasangin's face. Methods: We analysed the data collected by multi-center researchers in 2004. We used Chi-square test to define the relationship between the item and Sasang constitutions. Results: There were 15 items significantly related with each corresponding constitution(P<0.05). 2 items were defined as Taeyangin's, 4 items were defined as Soyangin's, 5 items were defined as Taeumin's and 4 items were defined as Soeumin's. Conculsion: The items were partially contribute to diagnosis of Sasang constitutions. For more accurate diagnosis, there is the need to accumulate corroborative evidence about Sasangin's actual external shape.
