Think of the last time you had to politely describe a person you didn’t quite get along with.
None of the traits you named were 100% positive, but none were negative, either.

Which is where we now find ourselves.
Some folks balk at the practice, deeming it pseudo-scientific.
But recent research suggests there may be a verifiable, biological link between facial features and personality.
So today, we’re unpacking the facts and attempting to answer the question: Can you read someone’s personality by their face?
