A book cannot be judged by its cover. Except sometimes, you can.

While it is not a good idea to generalize about individuals based on their appearance, research has shown that there are a few things we can discern about physical characteristics and someone’s mentality.

So, in this article, we’ll look at 10 intriguing physical characteristics and how they might alter personality – or how others perceive personalities – according to study.

1. People who are taller and have rectangular faces are more likely to be leaders

According to research published in the journal Psychological Science, persons with a rectangular facial shape – or a prominent jaw with high cheekbones and a wide forehead – are perceived as stronger leaders.

According to the study, firms with executives with this facial shape are more likely to be financially successful.

Furthermore, the taller someone is, the more likely we assume they are a great leader.

2 People with strong personalities tend to have strong jaws

Physical strength is frequently correlated with the size of someone’s jawline. If you think about it, you probably already know this instinctively.

But did you know that a strong jaw is often associated with a strong personality?

Yes, and it may be related to the fact that our jaw is the strongest joint in the body

3. More agreeable people have larger eyes

According to Chinese research, those who scored better on agreeableness had brows that looked to be “lifted up” and smaller forehead spans (i.e., the distance between the eyebrows and the hairline). Lower levels of Agreeableness, on the other hand, were related to the inverse, that is, a sunken jaw and brows.

4. Extroverted people tend to have larger lips

According to the same Chinese study, extroverted women had wider noses and lips.

Dr. Mehta has the following to say about it:

“Extroversion was associated with a projecting nose and lips, a recessive chin, and masseter muscles” (the jaw muscles used in chewing). In contrast, people with lower levels of Extroversion had the opposite pattern, with the region surrounding the nose appearing to press against the face.”

5. People with larger noses have more ambition

According to research published in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, there is a link between ambition and wider noses.

Isn’t it fascinating? However, nose type is not the only factor linked to it.

According to Business Insider, a nose with a “fleshy tip” indicates higher empathy for others, while an upturned nose indicates greater extroversion.

6. There are shared behaviors in people with the same eye color

Scientists at Sweden’s Orebro University investigated if personalities were connected to the irises in the eyes.

They discovered that eye color is influenced by the same genes that produce our frontal lobes, and as a result, persons with identical irises exhibit strikingly shared behaviors.

7. Men with larger facial width-to-height ratios are more aggressive

According to a 2009 Canadian study, most women can effectively estimate how aggressive males are.

Researchers also discovered a link between males with bigger face width-to-height ratios and higher levels of perceived hostility.

We interpret someone’s hostility levels based on the breadth of their face, according to research published in Evolution and Human Behavior.

8. Extroverted people smile more

People that are outgoing tend to grin more naturally, but introverts must work harder to maintain a smile in public.

This has been demonstrated in research where participants looked at images of individuals smiling and assessed which ones were more likely to be extroverts based on their grins.

9. Narcissists tend to wear brighter clothing and have more accessories

A 2009 study found that the way a person looked in a full-body image might predict their level of narcissism. Certain characteristics, such as whether a person was wearing colorful clothes, cosmetics, and accessories, and whether or not they were smiling a lot, led the participants to these conclusions.

10. People who post selfies might be more open to new experiences

People who often upload selfies appear to be more receptive to new experiences than ordinary individual.

A 2015 study discovered that individuals could properly estimate someone’s openness to new experiences based on how happy they seemed in a selfie shot.

So, the next time you find yourself “judging a book by its cover,” remember that it’s not a bad method to figure out someone’s personality.

We may not like the fact that we can assess someone in such a short amount of time, but it doesn’t mean it isn’t possible.

They say honesty is the best policy, but what happens when you’re dealing with a dishonest person? Untrustworthy persons have a few tendencies in common, ranging from a lack of integrity to breaching norms. Continue reading to learn how to recognize these untrustworthy behaviors and what to do when talking with an untrustworthy individual. On the other hand, here are a few odd behaviors that make you appear trustworthy.

• Lack of integrity

Lack of integrity is one of the most typical characteristics of untrustworthy persons. They don’t keep their promises. They breach their pledges. They may apologize, but they do not modify their conduct. A person with integrity maintains their name. Someone would suffer if they were betrayed or exploited. For example, you tell them something confidentially and discuss it with others, but you don’t appear to be unhappy that it affects you.

• Don’t trust others

People that are untrustworthy do not trust others. It seems to reason that someone who has no qualms about breaking their promise and destroying trust cannot believe that other people are trustworthy. What’s intriguing is the breadth and depth of their lack of confidence. They will accuse innocent individuals of engaging in the same actions that they do. For example, a man accuses his wife of cheating because he is, or a manager fears his staff will deceive him because he is defrauding the company’s owner.

• History of being unreliable

Untrustworthy persons may have a track record of being untrustworthy. They are like slot machines. They know precisely how much they can get away with, and just as you are ready to leave, they do something fantastic to entice you to stay. Untrustworthy people exhibit a range of behaviors, from apologizing (‘I am so sorry I am late again.’) to lying. I know I said I’d be here at 1:00…’) to utterly duping you (‘I never said I’d be here at 1:00. You must have misunderstood me’). The common thread is that you are inclined to believe them despite their track record of being untrustworthy.

• Break the rules and push past boundaries

Be cautious of an untrustworthy person’s public image, as well as how they behave with friends and family. Though they may appear to be good citizens to the outside world, they reveal their actual natures when they are with close friends and family, individuals with less influence, or those who are beholden to them. They reveal their actual personalities when they are ‘off camera.’

• Don’t take feelings into account

Have you ever attempted to explain why something made you feel uneasy, but the other person didn’t seem to care? Untrustworthy persons continue to exist. Your emotions are unimportant. They do not quit doing anything that makes you feel uneasy.

• Lack empathy

Empathy is an essential component of listening to and getting to know another person. When there is no empathy, though, this might be a warning flag. They seem to ignore, be oblivious of, or even relish your discomfort, sickness, or misery. For example, an untrustworthy individual may cross a boundary by interrupting you and refusing to stop even when you express your displeasure.

• Dominate conversations

There are a few other warning signals to be aware of, such as when someone dominates the conversation. This ‘over-talking’ entails auditory space invasion, which demonstrates that they are in control.

• Charming

They are engaging and “excellent storytellers,” so listening to them may be intoxicating. Keep an eye out for a lack of inclusion. Loving couples, especially introverted partners, share their speaking time with their partners. It’s not natural to feel that you’re just listening to a monologue or that you’re not involved at all.

• Tend to blame others

Take note of how frequently they blame others for everything. There are genuine victims of abuse, and we must be compassionate and considerate of them. Someone who acts unkindly, brusquely, and bullies others while claiming victimization is plainly not a victim.

• Hard to understand

Conversational behaviors such as not getting to the point, making educated guesses rather than giving knowledge, and speaking disorderly and confusingly are all instances of untrustworthy communication.

So, what should you do when talking to somebody untrustworthy? Gauge your level of safety and trust your gut.

It is critical to first determine whether you feel comfortable. If you feel uncomfortable, simply walk away from the individual without feeling horrible or worried about being disrespectful. You may test them by asking them a ‘negative’ question to check if they are safe. Liars know what they’re doing, but they’ve constructed a positive person, so ask them negative questions to see if it makes them unreliable.

Second, untrustworthy people want you to listen to their words rather than their behavioral signals. Your brain is more intelligent than you realize. When individuals lie, they shift their tone of voice or turn much of their body away from you.
