recently i have been googling up stuff along the lines of face reading, and by recently, i meant the past few hours. anyway, face reading, or physiognomy, is simply the "science" of reading faces.
a little more specific. physiognomy tries to profile you based on what kind of face you have. an example would be if the distance between your eyes is small, i.e. less than the length of an eye, it means that you have very strong focus and concentration. stuff like that. but that wasn't exactly what i was looking for, i knew i wanted to learn how to face read, but that kind of personality reading is about as reliable as horoscopes. No offense, horoscopes, but to me, as much scientific research has been put into this, i still don't see the connection.
anyway, what i was looking for was more towards cold readings, kind of like how a supposed "psychic" can talk to the dead that he never knew. Many magicians rely on this trick, they basically observe their subjects and try their luck at a few random statements. when any of that hits the jackpot, the subject would have an involuntary physiological reaction, maybe a gasp or their face turning pale, or something less obvious. so the magician picks up on that reaction and continues from there, saying more meaninglessly random sentence until they get a reaction. of course the statements they say try to get as vague as possible, so that they "hit" more people.
but most of the information i found generally involved some sort of a show kind of thing and that wasnt what i really wanted. what i wanted to learn was how to understand and pick up on that kind of involuntary reactions. many of those reactions are split second and i want to train myself to pick up on the different kinds and know what they are, i mean theres no point seeing someone sway from side to side, their heads tilted down if you don't know what it means.
so thanks to the wonders of wikipedia, or in this case wikiHow, i found out what i wanted to learn, body language. ya, it was that simple, body language. i wanted to know how to pick up on different body language, but reading on the web wasn't good enough. i knew i needed practice, but the thing is, you don't really know if you are correct, nothing is more than a hunch. so i kinda bummed out. i needed a teacher or some other way of learning.
so after that, i decided to do more clicking and stumbled on to how to detect lies. quite interesting and useful.
i also stumbled onto something called the Forer effect.
its basically magic through the computer screen, i will show you how it works.
with the power of the Forer effect, i will attempt to read your personality through the internet, i will try and analyze your personality and it will only be through the computer screen, all you need to do is fill out a little poll at the end to help out. if i get more than 50 hits, i will tell you how i did it.
anyway, understand that this report applies to you only and it generates a unique one for every visitor
You have a need for other people to like and admire you, and yet you tend to be critical of yourself. While you have some personality weaknesses you are generally able to compensate for them. You have considerable unused capacity that you have not turned to your advantage. Disciplined and self-controlled on the outside, you tend to be worrisome and insecure on the inside. At times you have serious doubts as to whether you have made the right decision or done the right thing. You prefer a certain amount of change and variety and become dissatisfied when hemmed in by restrictions and limitations. You also pride yourself as an independent thinker; and do not accept others' statements without satisfactory proof. But you have found it unwise to be too frank in revealing yourself to others. At times you are extroverted, affable, and sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, and reserved. Some of your aspirations tend to be rather unrealistic.
how was it, tell me in the polls
