Our first guest today is Sandra Myers, who works as a personologist. Sandra, good afternoon.
- Hi. -So, what exactly is personology?
Well, personology is what some people call face reading. The idea is that from looking at a person's facial features
you can find out a lot about the type of person they are.
Right.
Very few people here in Britain have heard of personology, but in the United States it's taken very seriously
and it's recognized as a science.- So how does it work?
Well, the idea is that the shape and dimensions of a person's face and facial features
are directly related to their personality.- OK.
For example, if a person's eyes are close together, they're probably short-tempered.
People with thick lips are usually talkative, and people with long upper lips tend to be sarcastic.
So your facial features reveal the inner you.
Not just your features. Someone's hair can also tell you a lot about them.
Sensitive people tend to have fine hair. Those with thick hair tend to be less emotional.
Fascinating. So what type of problems do you deal with?
A lot of people I help are unhappy at work. By examining their face I can determine what their strengths and weaknesses are.
Then I can recommend jobs that would match their personalities better. I also give advice about relationships.
And what can you tell from looking at my face?
- Well, one thing in particular stands out. The two sides of your face are very similar.- Oh, right.
Now, the right-hand side of your face represents your father's features,
whereas the left-hand side reflects your mother's traits.
If there's a big difference between the two sides, a person tends to be moody.
And in my case?
Because your face is very balanced, you're quite the opposite. You're a calm, cheerful person. Is that right?
Not first thing in the morning, but, generally, yes, I think so!
