1 00:00:01 --> 00:00:07 Our first guest today is Sandra Myers, who works as a personologist.
Sandra, good afternoon. 2 00:00:07 --> 00:00:09 - Hi.
-So, what exactly is personology? 3 00:00:10 --> 00:00:17 Well, personology is what some people call face reading. The idea is that
from looking at a person's facial features 4 00:00:17 --> 00:00:20 you can find out a lot about the type of person they are. 5 00:00:20 --> 00:00:21 Right. 6 00:00:21 --> 00:00:27 Very few people here in Britain have heard of personology,
but in the United States it's taken very seriously 7 00:00:27 --> 00:00:31 and it's recognized as a science.
- So how does it work? 8 00:00:31 --> 00:00:36 Well, the idea is that the shape and dimensions of a person's face and facial features 9 00:00:36 --> 00:00:39 are directly related to their personality.
- OK. 10 00:00:40 --> 00:00:45 For example, if a person's eyes are close together, they're probably short-tempered. 11 00:00:45 --> 00:00:52 People with thick lips are usually talkative, and people with
long upper lips tend to be sarcastic. 12 00:00:52 --> 00:00:55 So your facial features reveal the inner you. 13 00:00:55 --> 00:00:59 Not just your features. Someone's hair can also tell you a lot about them. 14 00:00:59 --> 00:01:05 Sensitive people tend to have fine hair. Those with thick hair tend to be less emotional. 15 00:01:05 --> 00:01:08 Fascinating. So what type of problems do you deal with? 16 00:01:08 --> 00:01:15 A lot of people I help are unhappy at work. By examining their face I can
determine what their strengths and weaknesses are. 17 00:01:16 --> 00:01:22 Then I can recommend jobs that would match their personalities better.
I also give advice about relationships. 18 00:01:22 --> 00:01:24 And what can you tell from looking at my face? 19 00:01:25 --> 00:01:31 - Well, one thing in particular stands out. The two sides of your face are very similar.
- Oh, right. 20 00:01:32 --> 00:01:36 Now, the right-hand side of your face represents your father's features, 21 00:01:37 --> 00:01:40 whereas the left-hand side reflects your mother's traits. 22 00:01:40 --> 00:01:44 If there's a big difference between the two sides, a person tends to be moody. 23 00:01:45 --> 00:01:46 And in my case? 24 00:01:47 --> 00:01:53 Because your face is very balanced, you're quite the opposite.
You're a calm, cheerful person. Is that right? 25 00:01:53 --> 00:01:56 Not first thing in the morning, but, generally, yes, I think so!
