Physiognomy Experiment





Sorry for the delay, things always take longer than you'd think. Tonight I will be posting a self physiognomy experiment, in which I analyze my own face.
Actually, I had someone else analyze it for me, because I figured they would be a more impartial judge than I would be. I will list some of the 'observations' that were made based on information from the book Amazing Face Reading - an Illustrated Encyclopedia For Reading Faces.

"slightly impatient
barely jealous and untrustworthy
very strong sex drive
very intelligent/high IQ
logical, abstract thinker
slightly unforgiving, mean, and miserly
slightly good moneymaking potential
very adaptable to changing circumstances
slightly pessimistic, immature, unpredictable
good at rote learning/memorization, general knowledge, literary quotes
somewhat zealous/firm resolve
somewhat cunning/sly
good stamina/will to succeed
chronic indecision/ defeatism
lacks energy
inclined to use authority with fairness
good common sense
somewhat friendly, easy going and approachable
cranky and idiosyncratic
haste for satisfaction
expect reciprocity in relationships, and a bit touchy
chilly, standoffish and remote
serious thinker at early age
strong feelings
intolerant - conservative
slightly discontent
people think you are trustworthy or innocent. "

Now, I read over this list, and decided with my friend how true each was on a scale of 1-3, and I calculated the percentage of correctness. I won't say which ones are true, because it's too embarrassing! (My blog, afterall.)

I got an average of 2.13 correctness, so only slightly more than half of the time were these ideas true. Overall, that seems as good a chance as just randomly guessing. 9 points were very true, and 4 were very untrue. The vast majority being "sort of true." I was rather underwhelmed again.
