New Study Pinpoints That Female Face Reveals Her Persona

New Study Pinpoints That Female Face Reveals Her PersonaA new study claims that women's faces are easier to read than men.

The research conducted by the scientists at the University of Glasgow has found that a woman's face reveals more about her personality as compared to that of a man.

According to lead researchers, Richard Wiseman, from England's University of Hertfordshire, and Rob Jenkins, from Glasgow University in Scotland, one can easily trait the personality of a woman from her face. Just by looking at female face, one can easily recommend if she is lucky, religious or trustworthy.

However, the study also maintained that studying men’s faces gives no hint as to their character. The researchers maintained that any attempt to read men faces may be useless.

While commenting over his research, Mr. Jenkins said, “Past studies have shown that people do associate facial appearance with certain personality traits and that our snap judgements of faces really do suggest a kernel of truth about the personality of their owner. But we were very surprised by these findings. We did not expect there to be such a difference between the sexes.”

The study tracked approximately 1,000 people who send their own photographs and filled in a detailed questionnaire about their personality and beliefs. The personality test included questions on how lucky, humorous, religious and trustworthy they classed themselves. After the test, the experts picked up the groups of men and women and classified them into four distant personalities.

Nearly 6,500 people visited the website to identify the lucky, humorous, religious and trustworthy faces.

The most striking feature of the study is that the majority of guesses proved to be correct. Around 70% to 73% of people identified lucky people and religious people respectively. Moreover, women were more accurately read on average than men.

The findings of this study are published in the New Scientist magazine.

So be careful and never forget to read fiancée’s face at the next time.
