Distance swimmer or sprinter?

How can one truly know what swimming distances one is best suited for? Can it be possible that somebody is better suited for distance but it is not showing due to low yardage in training? Are there some quick ways to figure this out?

    The nipple test is pretty reliable* Big round nipples = sprint freestyler little compact nipples = back stroker big, horizontally ovalized nipples = butterflyer/breastroker little, ovalized nipples = distance freestyler *a joke, but surprisingly true ** based on men; theory not tested on women
