“Unlocking the Secrets of Your Genes: What Your Physical Traits Really Say About You!”

People With Wide-Set Eyes Are Ready For Adventure

In 2017, researchers had participants look at 3D replicas of faces. The participants would guess the personality based on facial appearance. According to one result, people with wide-set eyes are seen as adventurous and willing to try new things.

This result is backed by Alan Stevens, a psychologist who believes that physical traits indicate personality. Stevens claims that wide-set eyes display tolerance and openness to possible errors. However, other psychologists do not back up Stevens’ claims. Remember that these are perceptions, not rules.

To learn what a big nose says about someone, stay tuned.

Extroverts And Introverts Have Different Postures

Your posture could tell others whether you’re an introvert or an extrovert. In 2015, researchers examined 100 peoples’ postures and how it related to their personality. They found that extroverts tend to stand up straight with their upper backs arched backward. Introverts tend to have a “flat back posture” or slightly hunched posture.

The researchers believed that peoples’ postures change around others. Since extroverts feel confident around people, they tend to stand up straight. Meanwhile, those who are timid around others tend to withdraw subconsciously.

Almond-Shaped Eyes Display Passion

During the Chinese study about eye shape and personality, almond-shaped eyes factored into the results. According to the researchers, participants viewed those with almond-shaped eyes as passionate. People with these eyes are seen as both enthusiastic and grounded.

Oddly, this interpretation conflicts with traditional Chinese face reading. According to folklore, almond-shaped eyes indicate an aura of mystery, charm, and possibly secrecy. It goes to show that our perception of physical traits can vary by culture and generation.

Downward-Sloping Eyes Display Pessimism

During the 2017 Chinese study, researchers found that people with downward-sloping eyes were viewed as pessimists. Participants responding to 3D facial recreations may have interpreted these types of eyes as looking downward, which is a universal symbol of discomfort, sadness, or nervousness.

However, this perception has changed throughout the generations. In the textbook Asian American Psychology: Current Perspectives, psychologists explain that eyes sloping downward at the outer corners were perceived as a beauty ideal in nineteenth-century Japan.

Larger Noses Show More Ambition

In 2013, a study about the associations of nose shape was published in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery. When researchers surveyed participants, the answers associated larger noses with higher ambition. It’s unclear where this subconscious relationship came from.

Perhaps this association stems from “following your nose,” the idea that animals will plunge headfirst into something that smells good. Even personality articles in Cosmopolitan relate large noses to drive and independence. More studies need to be done on physiological perceptions of peoples’ noses.

Extroverts Smile Wider

In 2009, researchers wanted to see if people could guess whether someone was an introvert or extrovert after seeing someone’s face for 50 milliseconds. When participants viewed photos of people smiling widely, they were more likely to label them as an extrovert. Gentler, shier smiles were often associated with introverts.

The wider smile could stem from people feeling happier. According to research in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, acting like an extrovert makes people feel happier. Even introverts feel happier while acting like an extrovert for a while.

People With A Warm Skin Tone Likely Eat Healthy

Researcher Carmen Lefevre of Northumbria University proposed that skin tone may indicate personality traits or habits. By skin tone, Lefevre doesn’t mean ethnicity; she means the color of skin undertones that are barely noticeable to most people. For instance, those with a warm, golden skin tone may eat a healthy diet.
