Swedish (albeit with a German surname, it could be from the Middle Ages, when the Hanseatic League dominated trade in northern Europe) heptathlete (sjukamp in Swedish, Siebenkampf in German) Carolina Klüft is amazingly Nordid.

She is certainly Nordid.
But I personally have a different view of what constitutes an extreme Nordid.
This woman's forehead looks slightly bulbous in some pictures, and her nose flirts with concavity and snubness.
She almost has a hint of northeastern European about her, especially with that extremely blond hair.
To me, an extremely Nordid person would have a long, narrow face, maximum facial relief without that ruggedness of the UP phenotypes, a straight or slightly convex nose, long, and fairly high head...and obviously blond/light brown hair and blue or gray eyes.
Here is an example...

Her reddish complexion suggests a Brunn/Tronder element....?

If anything, I would say she had some Finnish blood in her - East Baltic??? But only a bit.
She is a Halstatt Nordic - but I'm splitting hairs here because this is, after all, a topic about the extreme Nordid look.
I definitely know what you mean with the slightly bulbous forehead and slight nasal concavity. I would not call it snubness. The nose look long and narrow, and the angle of the tip is upturned, so nothing out of range with that. Fairly high head is not West-Nordid, and you have to look in England for what is central or typically West-Nordid, and what can be called truly low vaults.
That is a textbook example. I think that Klüft is a very good example of a female Nordid. We could discuss of which type. Could you show me a female example of what you think constitute an extreme Nordid?
I think that there is some East-Nordid or Swedish Trönder ("Hälsinglandstyp" or Flodström's "Svea typ") in her. She does look as being from eastern Sweden or northeastern Germany, yet I have seen such long faces and the same white-blonde pigmentation in Tallinn, Estonia as well. Do you see Aisto-Nordid traits?

Can you tell me which racial subtype(s) a bulbous forehead is indicative of? I'm wondering, because I have one and mine is not so slight, unfortunately :anieyesOriginally Posted by Polak

I associate it with Borreby, a la Kelsey Grammer and Jack Nicholson.Originally Posted by CelticLover
Hmmm...I definitely know I'm not Borreby. My forehead is too narrow, but it is still high and bulbous.Originally Posted by Stríbog
Who knows what the heck I am. Maybe alien :yikes

There's nothing wrong with having a bulbous forehead. That's like saying convex noses are all bad...they're not. It depends on what other features are present and also the extent of the boulbousness.
Anyway, yes, I'll post a pic of my girlfriend to illustrate a Halstatt Nordid female. But I have to be careful, because I'll be in deep shit if she ever finds out I'm sharing her pics on the net.
Hang on, have to find a suitable one and scan it...
