Our first guest today is Sandra Myers, who works as a personologist. Sandra, good afternoon.

2
00:00:07,327 --> 00:00:09,813
Hi.<br>So, what exactly is personology?

3
00:00:10 --> 00:00:17
Well, personology is what some people call <i>face reading</i>. The idea is that from looking at a person's facial features

4
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
you can find out a lot about the type of person they are.

5
00:00:20 --> 00:00:21
Right.

6
00:00:21 --> 00:00:27
Very few people in Britain have heard of personology, but in the United States it's taken very seriously

7
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:31,595
and it's recognised as a science.<br>So how does it work?

8
00:00:31,715 --> 00:00:36,186
Well, the idea is that the shape and dimensions of a person's face and facial features

9
00:00:36,556 --> 00:00:39,631
are directly related to their personality.<br>OK.

10
00:00:40,751 --> 00:00:45,451
For example, if a person's eyes are close together, they're probably short-tempered.

11
00:00:45,547 --> 00:00:52,193
People with thick lips are usually talkative, and people with long upper lips tend to be sarcastic.

12
00:00:52,604 --> 00:00:55,155
So your facial features reveal the inner you.

13
00:00:55,275 --> 00:00:59,577
Not just your features. Someone's hair can also tell you a lot about them.

14
00:00:59 --> 00:01:05
Sensitive people tend to have fine hair. Those with thick hair tend to be less emotional.

15
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08
Fascinating. So what type of problems do you deal with?

16
00:01:08 --> 00:01:15
A lot of people I help are unhappy at work. By examining their face I can determine what their strengths and weaknesses are.

17
00:01:16 --> 00:01:22
Then I can recommend jobs that would match their personalities better. I also give advice about relationships.

18
00:01:22 --> 00:01:25
And what can you tell from looking at my face?

19
00:01:25,5 --> 00:01:31,2
Well, one thing in particular stands out. The two sides of your face are very similar

20
00:01:31,3 --> 00:01:31,8
Oh, right.

21
00:01:32 --> 00:01:36
Now, the right-hand side of your face represents your father's features,

22
00:01:37 --> 00:01:40
whereas the left-hand side reflects your mother's traits.

23
00:01:40 --> 00:01:44
If there's a big difference between the two sides, a person tends to be moody.

24
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
And in my case?

25
00:01:47 --> 00:01:53
Because your face is very balanced, you're quite the opposite. You're a calm, cheerful person. Is that right?

26
00:01:53 --> 00:01:56
Not first thing in the morning ... but, generally, yes, I think so!
