Please Classify Austrian Skier and Schlager Singer Hansi Hinterseer

[Siebenbürgerin]

Sorry, I've found few photos where he isn't smiling.

Hmmm, good one. I would say that he is an odd combination of Faelid & Dinarid.

Overall, his facial structure is Faelid but his nose certainly has a Dinarid/Noric (not Nordic) cast to it...and he is brown eyed. I also suspect that he colours his hair.

I also suspect that he colours his hair.

Maybe a shade lighter, but he was born as a natural blond, as far as I know. Here a picture:

It just seem like his hair darkened to dirty dark blond.

I think the "Faelid" impression he gives on many pictures is due to the distortion by the ineluctable smile on his face. His jaws may look quite strong and prominent on some pictures, but this is IMO only because of said distortion. However, this mere impression is IMO not sufficient to diagnose significant Faelid admixture. In my view, a true Faelid looks different and behaves in a totally different way, too (see also my explaination below).

As for the dinarid component, I agree: This seems quite obvious for a Tirolian. Therefore, I would classifiy him as mainly Noric (Dinarid with Nordid admixture), perhaps with mediterranid influence of some sort, with some slight alpinisation also possible: His personality has some rather "soft " components which also become manifest in the superficial, greasy "music" he performs, this softness being characteristic for the alpinid race. These personality traits are also totally contrary to the Faelid personality, which is described by Günther and others as serious, heavy and dry, but not sentimental and lyrical. However, in Hinterseer's case, his alleged sentimentality may only be part of his marketing strategy, thus a fake. If the latter was true, it would in my view indicate a disharmonic personality that could on its part have its origin in a mixture of in general incompatible racial components. Actually, he quite obviously does not act in agreement with himself when he is performing, but he is still able to sing on stage, IMO a clear sign of a disharmonic personality and indice for my thesis of a disadvantageous mixture of single traits from races of quite heterogenous origin.

Summa summarum: Noric with Mediterranid (we don't know if he is colouring his hair; even if he was born as a natural blond - thx Siebenbürgerin! - he could have darkened when getting older) and Alpinid admixture.
