“Face” Thyself: How Your Body Reveals Your Personality Type
Do people with similar personalities look alike? Might they resemble each other in their expressions, facial features, body language, or physical appearance?
The notion that the body reflects and reveals our inner personality has been espoused by numerous theorists over the last century or so. Carl Jung, for instance, believed that the mind, body, and personality were inextricably interwoven. In his classic work, Psychological Types, he scribed:
Character is the fixed individual form of a human being. Since this form is compounded of body and mind, a general characterology must teach the significance of both physical and psychic features. The enigmatic oneness of the living organism has as its corollary the fact that bodily traits are not merely physical, nor mental traits merely psychic. The continuity of nature knows nothing of those antithetical distinctions that the human intellect is forced to set up as aids to understanding. (Para. 915)
One example of this mind-body overlap is the relationship between emotions and facial expressions. Social psychologists have shown, for instance, that our facial expressions are associated with specific emotions and are interpreted similarly across a breadth of human cultures. This suggests that, irrespective of language or culture, emotions can be conveyed through physical expressions.
Seeing the face as humanity’s hub for emotional expression, some theorists have gone a step further and suggested that facial features, if properly understood, can serve as important clues about our personality. At first blush, this may sound a bit preposterous. After all, isn’t it more or less a genetic lottery that determines whether we get mom’s eyes or dad’s nose? Why would our physical appearance have anything to do with our personality?
But consider this: Even if our physical features are genetically based, could it be that the genes and hormones that contribute to our appearance also affect, or interact with those that affect, our personality? Is it unreasonable to suspect, for instance, that individuals who are heavily muscled and have higher levels of blood testosterone might also have a more aggressive personality?
We must also consider how our habits and behaviors might influence our physical appearance. For example, those who exercise or routinely engage in physical activity are apt to have larger or more developed muscles than those who don’t. The same is true of our facial muscles. Those of us who smile a lot are in effect, exercising our “smiling muscles,” and may thus end up looking different from those who smile less often.
These observations lend support to the idea that our personality and behaviors are not unrelated to how we look. Thus, to a certain extent, our appearance may serve as a window to our soul. Moreover, that window is apt to be larger for those who are skilled at perceiving and interpreting bodily clues. Indeed, developing this sort of skill and knowledge is the express aim of practices like face reading and physiognomy.
Face Reading & Personality Type
Acquiring psychospiritual knowledge (“gnosis”) by observing the body (“physio”), or what has come to be known as physiognomy, has been an implicit practice of human beings ever since we began trying to read other people’s minds. At some point, certain individuals made this practice more explicit, such as by attempting to match particular facial features (e.g., types of noses) with certain personality traits. Modern physiognomic research has largely abandoned any emphasis on specific facial features in favor of “configural” approaches, in which the face is interpreted holistically based on overall impression. This approach is rooted in science which suggests that humans tend to process facial information in a holistic or intuitive fashion.
In a 2006 study 1 published in the peer-reviewed journal, Social Cognition, Ian Penton-Voak and colleagues utilized both individual and composite facial images. The composites were generated by computer software that combines multiple faces into one; you might think of it as a sort of “average” of the images. More specifically, the composites incorporated facial images of those scoring in the top ten percent for each of the Big Five personality domains (To preserve the flow of this discussion, I have taken the liberty to translate the Big Five categories into Myers-Briggs terminology. Research has demonstrated moderate to strong correlations between these two personality taxonomies). The judges / raters of personality in this study were given no information except the facial images (see below) in conducting their assessments. They also had no acquaintance with any of the individuals whose photographs were utilized in the study.
The most significant finding of this study was the ability of the raters to accurately distinguish introverts from extroverts. This was true for both the male and female composites, as well as for non-composite images (i.e., actual photos of the individuals). Beyond the introvert-extrovert distinction, things proved a little more difficult. The assessors were able to differentiate thinkers (T) and feelers (F) of both sexes, but only when using the composite images. The judging (J) – perceiving (P) preference was only identifiable in males and only in the composites. The intuition (N) – sensing (S) preference was also discernible only in males, but this time only in the non-composite images. Based on these findings, the researchers concluded that there is at least “a kernel of truth” to be found in the practice of face reading.
“Face Reading” Study Findings
What follows are the composite images used in the study. Again, I opted to translate the Big Five categories into their corresponding Myers-Briggs preferences for your ease and convenience:

Physiognomy – Face Shape
Oval Face Shape – Characteristics: An oval shaped face – also sometimes known as ”metal face” in Chinese face reading – is well proportioned and symmetrical; evenly shaped to the chin, with tapered jaws and fair complexion. Face readers have long noticed that people with metal face often have a high IQ, are perfectionists, and self-critical. They also tend to be weaker in physical strength. Even so, they tend to be very bold, and full of brilliant ideas, but often leave the ”heavy” work to their co-workers with heart shaped faces. They are true pioneers, even if their ideas can be a bit irrational at times. Other typical oval face shape personality traits include firmness and a sense of honesty. They seem to always obey the rules and can be great managers, judges, and diplomats. Anything that has to do with decision making and justice suit them extremely well.
Round Face Shape – Characteristics: People with fleshy, plump, and round face – or sometimes referred as ”water face” in Chinese face reading– are very smart, intelligent, reflective, and diplomatic, with a strong business sense.

According to face readers, men and women with this face shape are very optimistic, kind, caring, and sensitive, and seek stable and long-term relationships. A person with a round face shape can be very creative and intuitive. Also, people with round faces are dreamers and thought to have vivid sexual fantasies!
Heart Face Shape – Characteristics: A heart shaped face – also sometimes known as ”wood face” in Chinese face reading – comes with a delicate chin suggesting that this person is not very interested in physical activity. Face readers have discovered that most people with heart shaped faces are not very fond of outdoor work and tend to have lower physique. They would rather spend their time analyzing and acquiring knowledge. Their tall and broad forehead indicates mental capacity and intellectual persuasion. Other heart shaped face characteristics include being natural leaders, good planners, and having a great sense of responsibility. They are also able to see the big picture, and seeing through a project. People with heart face shapes are deep thinkers, and very philosophical with strong ideals. They’d rather collect knowledge instead of spending time on their financial situation.

Face readers have noticed that a person with this face shape prefer the safe and proven path. Other typical square face personality traits include being conservative, prudent, quiet, and not easily influenced by other people. Work areas that are suitable for a person with a square face shape are finance and insurance, since they are very trustworthy, perceptive, stable, and reliable.
Triangle Face Shape
Triangle Face Shape – Characteristics: A triangle shaped face – also sometimes known as ”fire face” in Chinese face reading – has a dominant flared out chin and is narrower at the cheekbones, and even narrower at the forehead. People with this face shape are extroverted, very sociable, with a fun personality.

Organs on Face
3. Eyes: Eyes are known as »监察官» (jiānchá guān, organ of monitoring) related to wealth and rank. The bright piercing eyes with a clear distinction between black and white are the best.
4. Nose: Nose is known as »审辨官» (shěnbiàn guān, organ of discernment) related to wealth. The nose with upturning apex indicates the difficulty in making a fortune while the garlic bulb shaped apex is good; since the two sides of the apex represent the treasury, the smaller indicates the failure in saving wealth. Between the age of 41 and 50, the apex plays the greatest impact on your luck for wealth. Neither the apex with mole nor the wry, sharp or thin nose suggests the deep pocket. Also, the nose is related to health and the bridge collapse suggests poor health.
