- You look similar to a guy i have seen classified a while ago as keltic-nordic.

Description:
To an American, Englishman, or Belgian, the Keltic Nordic phenotype represents a "normal" or "average" appearance. Likewise, in the minds of those who are neither American, English, nor Belgian, nor belonging to any other predominantly Keltic population, the Keltic look will usually stand synonymous with the descriptive tags "American" or "English". This is the most numerous of the two Nordic types - a type which gains in variability with the constant infusion of non-Nordic blood, particularly in North America and Australia. Thanks to one of the most popular phenomena of the 20th Century, the Silver Screen, the Keltic Nordic is quite possibly the most recognized and familiar of all Nordish phenotypes throughout the world.
The modern Keltic Nordic type is tall, slender, and moderately broad-shouldered. The head form is typically mesocephalic, with a mean cephalic index of 79, which is slightly higher than the present Hallstatt mean.
Nordics of this type are low-vaulted, with foreheads of much greater recession than those of the Hallstatt type. The Keltic face is long and narrow, and the chin is strongly developed. The temples, malars, and gonial angles are typically compressed and not visible.
The nose is long and high-bridged, and narrow to medium in breadth. The profile is usually straight, but wavy or concavo-convex forms are also common. The characteristic prominence of the Keltic nose is a good diagnostic for distinguishing between extremes of the two Nordic types.
The lips are thin to medium, and little everted.
The hair, which ranges in color from a blackish brown to a platinum-like ash-blond, is most commonly medium brown in pigment. Keltic hair is generally of a much darker tone than what is common among Hallstatt Nordics, a fact well illustrated by some the more recent photographic material presented below. The eyes are predominantly light-mixed.

Geographical distribution:
Modern Keltic Nordic populations are descended from Keltic and Frankish tribes on the northwestern European mainland and on the Isles across the British Channel. The type is concentrated in the British Isles and in the Benelux nations, and an old Keltic enclave in the Swiss Alps forms a secondary center.
Elsewhere, the Keltic Nordic racial type has found breeding ground overseas in North America, down under in Australia, and in South Africa, and it still figures as the predominant Caucasian racial type in most extra-European British and Dutch former colonies.
Percentage estimates of Keltic Nordic in European populations (McCulloch):
Belgium: --------.------------_.-60% (mostly in Flanders)
Netherlands: ------------------.--50%
Switzerland:----------------.--..--40% (mostly in the north, west, and center)
England:----------------...-------30%
Scotland:------------------------.30%
Ireland:------------------.-------30% (mostly in the east)
Wales:------------------.-------.30%
Austria:------------------.-------15%
Germany:------------------.------6% (mostly in the old Frankish s-w)

I don't think you look Keltic Nordid at all. KN types have straight or slightly convex nasal bridges. Yours is slightly concave. KN types have a lower face that approximates the appearance of an inverted triangle. Yours is more of an elongated rectangle. KN types have pinched cheeks. Yours are nearly flush.

This is a Keltic Nordid man (Peter Cushing):

Too young, even I am, after what I've read here:p But I've have been classified as an pure Nordid:D

But I find your face to be to short, somewhat.

Basic Nordid with some minor influences towards Alpinid (nasal shape) or Mediterranid. But your'e still young.
