Introduction to Psychology

Picking up personality can be a very fun and adventurous process. Many cultural societies have many ways to do it and so many people to test; you’re never going to get the same results. One very interesting way of determining someone’s personality is Face Reading. This is a type of physiognomy that can show you your hidden personality, history, current situation, your future, even how well your health is. Face reading was developed from Ancient China by a man known as Mr. Guiguzi (481-221 B.C.).
Although it is one of many ways of measuring personalities, face reading has twelve ways of being used. The first method is called Fortune House, or also known as “Fude Gong”. This method shows whether your life is going smoothly or not. When reading someone’s face with Fortune House, the face should be round and smooth with no markings or scars that are out of the ordinary. If there happens to be any marks or scars, they will show any issues you have, such as illness, bad relationships, financial troubles, etc.
The second method of face reading is Parents House, or “Fumu Gong”. It tells you whether you had a good or not so good childhood with your parents. This procedure reads the face by its forehead. If it is big, round and/or shinning, means the individual had an excellent relationship with his parents and had an enjoyable life as a child. However, if the forehead was ugly and/or damaged, then the person had a painful and difficult life when he/she was young. The next way is called Career House, or also known as “Guanlu Gong”. This method is somewhat similar to the Fortune House because it is searching for round and smooth features on a face as well. If your cheek bones stick out and have eyebrows that project, you will most likely have a better chance of having a successful career. House of Travel, or “Qianyi Gong”, would be another style of face reading someone. It is designed to

    There are creases under the eye that act as wrinkles and thin lines around the mouth differentiating the hair thickness from that of the bolder beard that is all around the face. From the top of the head to the middle of the cheeks, it is very rounded. The lower half of this piece becomes more triangular, as if it were to be connected to some support for display in a setting such as a temple. Color wise, it has an earthy green tone with specs of gold…

    Participants are asked to indicate their handedness prior to the trials. Every trial contains two chimeric faces. The way chimeric face is constructed is by combining a half of each of two different faces. In each trial, participants are asked to choose the younger looking of the two chimeric faces. In reality, the two faces are mirror images of each other; therefore, the age characteristic of the two is the same.…

    When I was in the military taking this test was required once I reached senior levels. It was not used by anyone for evaluation or suitability purposes, but instead it was used for individual self-assessment. Each time I take the test my reaction is always the same. I am skeptical in the beginning, and a believer in the end. It is amazing how the results capture my own opinion about my personality. The only part I did not feel was accurate (in the beginning) was its definition of “how others see you.” To validate my feeling, I provided two different interpretations of “how others see you” to a co-worker. One interpretation was from the test, the other was my own interpretation. To my surprise, my co-worker said that he viewed my personality was more in line with the findings from the test. For me, this further validated the legitimacy of the…

    Personality is an individual’s unique and relatively consistent patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving. Learning about personality helps us to understand how and why people act the way they do. There are four perspectives of personality: psychoanalytic perspective, humanistic perspective, social cognitive perspective and trait perspective. The psychoanalytic emphasizes the importance of unconscious mental processes and the influence of early childhood experience. The humanistic perspective represents an optimistic look at human nature, emphasizing the self and the fulfillment of the person’s unique potential. The social cognitive perspective…

    A facial expression is the movement of the muscles beneath a person’s skin and it often demonstrates someone’s state of mind. For example if a person is upset they may look down and have upwardly slanted eyebrows and a frown. On the other hand a person who is happy will probably smile and have crescent-shaped eyes. Eye-to-eye contact can also show how a person is feeling or what they may be thinking. If a person avoids eye contact it may indicate that they are upset or annoyed, whereas a person who has wide eyes may suggest that they are excited. Facial expressions can help professionals understand how a person may be feeling or thinking. It is also very important that professionals show the right facial expressions too, for example they should smile when speaking to someone to show that they are interested and happy to be with them. This will help the person’s self-esteem and to build a strong and trusting relationship so they can share any personal information. (Wikipedia, 2015) (Carolyn Aldworth,…

    Personality assessment instruments continue to be widely uses by the public and widely examined by the public. Since the early 20th century a number of personality instruments have been very useful in classifying personality traits, while other test instruments have shown to be antiquated. The Myer-Briggs, Apperception test and self-help books all have confidence that they can deliver a concrete view on differences in personalities. They allow you to know an individual's personality type along with an examination into how these different assessments may be of importance to the everyday person.…

    Of the many ways that exist to classify and conceptualize individual differences, some are obvious and somewhat visible, such as gender, race, language, origin and / or social background. Other forms, perhaps not as visible, are nonetheless influential distinctions such as culture or personality. The personality, like many things in life can be difficult to explain, is what makes every human being different, unique and exceptional. Today, the personality is an issue around the world. It reflects who we really are. Although most people use the term "personality" to identify the most obvious characteristics of a persons, psychologists are addressed in regards to this to explain why people with similarity in genetic background, experience and motivations can react quite differently to the same situation, and to explain why people with different genetic, experience and / or motivations past, but similar reactions to a single event. I intend to share with you my account of the personality, as it defines me as an individual and finally I will discuss what factors make a personality test is reliable and valid.…

    There are universal expressions that can be seen all around the world and within different cultures. Theses universal expressions are the result of some emotion, and because of the similarities in how microexpressions appear in people, it is known that most people react the same way to emotions, and the most common emotional expressions are “happiness, anger, disgust, fear, sadness, surprise and contempt” (HOW I). For example, disgust is often characterized by a wrinkled nose with the upper lip raised, and sadness is expressed by the upper eyelids dropping and the lips going down in the corners (HOW I). Without this similarity in the reactions it would be impossible to use microexpressions to “read” people’s actual emotions. However, it is important to note that there are some differences that can cause these microexpressions to not be accurate indicators of emotions and deception. When an individual avoids eye contact it may be assumed that individual may be lying or hiding something, but in many cultures it is a sign of respect not to look someone in the eyes. With this in mind, it is important to know that microexpressions are not solid evidence, but clues to detecting deception, and should be used in context with the different…
