What can you really tell about someone just by looking at their face? What if you knew that you’d have a better-than-chance shot of knowing whether they’ll live a long life, get dementia, are extroverted, prone to cheating or likely to kill you
But what does a face tell us about someone’s personality? There are a number of characteristics where science suggests we should trust our instincts. A study at the University of Liverpool concludes: “Judges perform better than chance in guessing others’ personality, particularly for the traits conscientiousness and extraversion [sic]”.
You should also trust yourself when judging whom not to trust, as a paper from the Centre for Advanced Study in the Behavioural Sciences concludes: “The human mind might be capable of picking up on subtle visual cues that cheaters’ faces give off.”
