Our first guest today is Sandra Myers, who works as a personologist.
Sandra, good afternoon.

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!
