face reading.

After looking so much into the extremely creepy sanpaku eyes, I came across another branch of psychology that I thought was interesting: physiognomy, or the practice of face reading. Scientists, doctors, and psychologists of ancient times relied heavily on this practice, but recently it has fallen out of use. There are few professional face readers in the country, some being employed for the CIA and the like to profile suspects etc.

Physiognomy is said to be able to tell you a person's personality, character, what medical and physical problems or affluences they have, and even if they have the makeup of a serial killer. I came across the website of face reader Kathy Thompson, which had a lot of interesting information. Traits like your lip size can indiciate how giving you are: small lips are reserved and honest, while large lipped people are very generous and talk a lot. A lot of these traits and their meanings that I read about were almost reassurances of things that I already knew I thought about people, but never put into words.

Look at a few of these websites and surf around, there are hundreds and thousands of traits that mean different things, and if you become proficient at reading faces, you should be able to read, manipulate and control any person or situation that you encounter. Promising, no? Grab a mirror and see if you believe it!
