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

Find Narcissists Through Their Eyebrows

In 2018, researchers wanted to see if participants could pinpoint narcissism through physical appearance. Specifically, participants assumed a person’s personality through the shape of their eyebrows. Those with distinct, bushy, well-groomed eyebrows were perceived to be more narcissistic, even to other narcissists.

Researchers found that this perception remained true even when the faces were turned upside-down. The scientists believe that eyebrows significantly shape our facial recognition. For instance, a 2003 study in Perception found that people struggle to recognize others without seeing eyebrows.

Average Faces Are More Beautiful (And More Kind)

According to a 2006 study in Psychological Science, attractive people are more likely to be seen as trustworthy and friendly. This phenomenon has a term: the halo effect. But what defines a conventionally “attractive” person? Psychologist Coren Apicella says that attractive faces are average faces.

Psychologist Anthony Little explains that attractive faces are often symmetrical and have common traits. “Perhaps average faces are more attractive because they seem more familiar,” says Dr. Apicella. In short, an average face may be interpreted as friendly and trustworthy.

What Your Selfie Says About You

If you’re a frequent selfie poster, beware. In 2015, researchers at Washington State University discovered that people posting selfies on social media are less liked. Participants perceived selfie-takers as more insecure, less successful, and less open to new experiences than those who do not post frequent selfies.

That said, people who posted photos taken by someone else–called a “posie”–received the opposite opinion. Viewers saw these users as more adventurous, self-confident, and better potential friends. Apparently, who holds the camera makes all the difference.

Coming soon: how you look like your name.

Your Profile Picture Says A Lot About You

According to research, your profile photo on social media websites matters. Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania stated that people can predict personality traits “with robust accuracy” by analyzing a user’s profile picture. The difference stems from your expression and the quality of the photo itself.

According to surveyed participants, those who smile in photos are conscientious and aim to do the right thing. Those with colorful photos tend to get along with others, and users with high-quality photos are often open-minded. High-quality photos have better saturation, no blur, and stellar contrast.

Red Lipstick Actually Makes People Look Younger

Red lipstick truly is a timeless look–especially if you want to appear younger. In 2011, Pennsylvania researchers found that people wearing red lipstick were perceived as younger than they actually were. The dark red color contrasted with the darker, aging spots on the skin, which overshadowed aging skin.

Red lips come with some financial benefits, too. In 2013, French researchers tracked what influenced tips for waitresses in almost 450 transactions. Waitresses who wore red lipstick received 50% more tips than those who didn’t.

How Your Face Influences Your Name

If someone says that a person “looks like a Karen,” this statement might have some backing. Scientists have found that facial structure influences the names given. Throughout eight experiments, participants correctly guessed the name of each person in the photo 40% of the time. Even when participants didn’t know the age, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status of the person, they often guessed correctly.

Researchers believe that the social expectations of a name can alter how we look. For instance, a person may dress or present themselves in a specific way based on the cultural associations of their name.
