Do you think people's personality often times matches their looks?
Do you think people's personality often times matches their looks?
You ever meet someone and after talking to them and getting to know them you think, "yeah, I sort of figured they would have this personality because they look like they would"?
This is known as physiognomy and lacks any real evidence.
It is likely just confirmation bias playing a trick on your brain. You probably don't think about all the times a face doesn't match the personality.
Yeah, people choose their haircut and wardrobe and tattoos, and that all comes out of personality.
I've been told I look like I am on my way to murder someone but I haven't killed anyone. In fact it's been 150+ years since my family gave up murdering and we've never looked back.
edit: although for a lot of that time, that side of the family were in the army where killing is legal sanctioned as long as you don't get anyone on your own side.
I think people's looks and personality correspond in a few different ways.
One is that people's choices for style and personal care reflect their personality, so having fancy clothes indicate a person who cares enough about looks to put in the effort.
People also can choose to associate themselves visually with different groups, and if they identify with that group they likely have similar values, including those around personality.
Even things someone can't control, such as height, probably affect their personality because it changes the way others interact with them in society.
I think it’s an imaginary concept that reinforces itself. If you get to know someone and realize that they’re a kind person, their physical traits seem to reflect that.
I look at people and try to guess their political lean. I feel pretty shallow basing it on color and size of hair, but I kind of think there's something there.
Tbh, not reliably.
You could maybe make an argument about how a person ages with the lines of their face picking up patterns, but that's still only going to be viable for a decade or two of a lifetime.
Yes, because a person's clothes, hair, accessories, etc matches their personality
Most of the time someone walking around with a frown is a grouch, someone walking around with a smile is kind. I dunno.
