Pre-existing methods of Sasang constitution classification are a shape of the body and its countenance & morpological aspect and temper. Many diagnostic methods have been developed and used including the questionnaires on personal life style and propensities(QSCC, QSCC II), and the tonal analysis of person's voice. Recently the constitutional acupunture and the herbal medicine response analyses are developed and used additionally. But these methods which is done by the doctor's intuition. In this article, I propose a methodology to classify the Sasang constitution. pitch, intensity and formants are used to classify the Sasang constitution by comparing the similarities and differencies of tonal analysis. Finally, the validity of the method is proven through the experiments.
