What your face tells about your character
Face and character are connected
Can we judge a person by his appearance? Yes, says at least one ancient doctrine called psycho-physiognomy. The body, especially the face, the body, the facial expressions and gestures are to give information about the characteristics of a person.
That this is no humbug prove numerous studies that examine the connection between face and character. The researcher Carmen Lefevre of Northumbria University explains the context in an interview with the British news broadcaster BBC: "The idea is that our biology, for example our genes or hormone levels, influence growth and these mechanisms also shape our character."
Does the face shape decide on the success? Monkeys and footballers prove it!
People with broader faces and more prominent cheekbones often have higher testosterone levels? that has been researched for a long time. And that's why they should often be more dominant or even more aggressive than people with narrower faces.
A study by Northumbria University showed that the relationship between width and length of the face of capuchin monkeys determines which position the animal occupies in the ranking. The monkeys, which had the widest faces, were among the alpha animals.
The same results were obtained by a study by the University of Colorado, which observed the soccer players of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Players with broader faces fouled more often, but also scored more goals.
Fit? This reveals the fat distribution in the face
The amount of face fat says more about someone's fitness than the body mass index, the University of Glasgow's Benedict Jones said. People with thin faces should be less prone to infections. And if it comes to an infection, it runs less violently than in people with thicker faces and wide cheekbones. In addition, people with thin faces are less prone to depression and panic attacks.
Friendly and open? Look at the iris!
The Örebro University in Sweden examined the iris patterns of 428 subjects and found that the relationship between eye color and character is measurable. Because the development of the eyes is closely linked to the development of the brain. A special gene called "Pax6" is crucial: it is not only involved in the formation of the iris pattern, but also in the brain in those areas that are responsible for emotions and behavior.
After a detailed examination of the iris, the subjects underwent a standardized personality test. The result: Impulsive and also neurotic people or those with great self-discipline have more frequent contraction rings (delicate arc sections or circles around the pupil).
The best information about the character gave the longitudinal furrows. They indicate a friendly, open nature and stand for qualities such as warmth, empathy and trust. The denser the furrows, the more pronounced the properties.
Alpha male? That betrays the nose!
In 2013, the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery published a study that turned its nose. The result: people who are ambitious, confident and self-sufficient have a big nose? the born alpha-animals. Who has a big tip of the nose, puts the focus allegedly on the financial. Few nose tips belong to people who are meant to be warm and lovely personalities. If you have a long nose, act intuitively, enjoy the hype and like to decide.
Are the eyes light or dark?
Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh even found that women with blue eyes are more capable of suffering, and endure the pain of childbirth better than women with dark eyes.
In addition, scientists have shown that people with light eyes tolerate more alcohol than people with dark eyes, and are more likely to drink a lot of alcohol. Dark-eyed people are said to be more responsive to certain medications and are aroused faster.
