-bumps and personalities-
Have you ever been afraid of or attracted to someone just because ofthe way the person looks? When you first meet someone, it is not unusual toreact to his or her appearance. But these are first impressions, and mostpeople assume that it takes time to find out what someone is really like. It ispossible, however, that a person’s appearance reveals more than we realize.According to some experts, a person’s face, head, and body can reveal agreat deal about personality. Since ancient times, people have practiced the art of physiognomy,or reading character from physical features. The ancient Greeks comparedthe human face to the faces of various animals and birds, such as the eagleand the horse. They believed people shared certain character traits with theanimals they resembled. A person with an equine, or horselike, face wasthought to be loyal, brave, and stern. A person with an aquiline, or eaglelike,nose was believed to be bold and courageous, as well as arrogant and self-centered. Physiognomists study such features as the shape of the head, thelength and thickness of the neck, the color and thickness of the hair, and theshape of the nose, mouth, eyes, and chin. They believe that round-facedpeople are self-confident.
