Face Reading...!

One of my friends at Yale Department of Psychology seems to be a master at deducing typical characteristics of people (temperament, attitude, enthusiasm level) by observing them closely for a day.Now I don't know what the logic is from a psychological eprspective but then when I sit down on Saturdays to draw sketches - all my sketches are indeed based on facial expressions of characters.Which means that certainly our subconscious judges people fromtheir face value, from their external appearance & vibes.

Let me spend some time researching more on the subject this week.By the way wikipedia refers to this thory as Physiognomy...!

Physiognomy comes from Greek physiognomonia, from physiognomon, "judging character by the features," from physis, "nature, physique, appearance" + gnomon, "one who knows, hence an examiner, a judge," from gignoskein, "to know."
