In order to establish the connection between the two theories, Belov.A established in 1971 temperament test’s results with a total of 80 questions, as well as 13 questions on each of the symptoms based on the characteristics of Khii, Shar and Badgan in Mongolian traditional medicine, a total of 39 questionnaires were developed and compared with the results of the two surveys. The methodology for studying the uniqueness of the body was developed in 2017 based on the main symptoms of Mongolian medicine, Khii, Shar and Badgan. Within 2 years, we have developed a formulation of questions and got advice from traditional medicine doctors. A total of 300 subjects, around aged 20 to 25 were included in this study, and 248 studies were compared. In order to establish the relationship between the two studies, that the temperaments divided into 4 main types including melancholic, choleric, sanguine and phlegmatic, and the characteristics of the physical characteristics of each group of people were examined to see if there was a correlation between these characteristics. In order to compare the results of the two studies, the results of 62 people were analyzed for each of the four basic temperament patterns, and the ratio of Khii, Shar, and Badgan, which is a characteristic feature of the body in each pattern, was calculated. The results showed that the people with a predominance of Shar were choleric, those with a predominance of Badgan were phlegmatic, and those with a predominance of Khii were sanguine.
