Five Tests of Body Expose Your Personalities
1. THE CLUE IN YOUR CHEEKBONES
Using a photograph， measure① the width of your face from cheekbone to cheekbone and its height from your upper lip to the highest point of the eyelids. Divide the width by the height. The calculation gives you your ’facial width to height ratio’ （FWHR）.
Most people have an FWHR of between 1.5 and 2.1， with higher numbers of course signalling② a wider face. Scientists have shown that people with wider faces， such as Wayne Rooney， tend to be more aggressive③， angry and assertive. People with thinner faces tend to be more placid.
Scientists suspect that testosterone is the cause. T he hormone tends to make men’s faces more traditionally rugged — with heavy brows， jutting jaws and wider faces.
2. THINKING WITH YOUR THUMBS
Clasp your hands together with fingers interlocked and place a thumb on top of the other. The thumb that goes on top gives a clue about whether you are logical or intuitive， according to some researchers.
The test relies on④ the theory that the two halves of the brain specialise in different ways of thinking. The left half of the brain tends to deal more with logic and language， while the right half processes emotion， vision and creativity. If the right thumb goes on top it suggests that you are a logical， rational "left-brainer". In the same way， if the left thumb usually goes on top， you are more likely to be a creative， intuitive "right-brainer".
3. LET YOUR HANDS DO THE TALKING
Hold out your right hand， keeping your fingers together. Compare the length of your index finger， with your ring finger， from the tip to the crease where it is attached to the hand. The relative size of your fingers is strongly linked to your exposure to the male sex hormone testosterone in the womb.
Finger length sheds light on a host of personality traits. Most women’s index and ring fingers are almost equal in length. However， if their ring ringers are longer， they tend to be more assertive and are more likely to run successful businesses⑤.
4. MAPPING YOUR MIND
Do you think your "self" is located in⑥ your heart or your head？ Mentally note your answer. The answer was linked to a host of revealing personality traits.
People who claimed that their ’self’ was in their heart were more likely to rely on emotions and intuition when making decisions. Those who saw themselves as living in their heads， however， were more likely to value independence， did better at general knowledge tests and reacted less emotionally to stress. 5. OPENING YOUR MIND’S EYE
Stretch out both hands in front of you and bring them together to make a small gap. With both eyes open， look through the gap and concentrate on a distant object， such as a door knob. Now close your left eye. If the object remains in view， your right eye is dominant. If closing your right eye keeps it in view， your left eye is dominant.
If you are left-eyed， your brain gives more weight to things you see with your left eye. It means that you should use your dominant eye when peering through a telescope， camera viewfinder or keyhole— it will feel much more natural and easier to see that way.
小编导读：你手指的长度，你的脸形可以解释你的性格吗？尽管听上去不大可能，现在强有力的证据表明许多身体特征和行为怪癖暗示你的性格特点。无须熬过又贵又复杂的心理画像程序，有些特点只需几秒即可测试哦。
1. 颧骨的线索
用照片，量一量你的脸两颊的间距，还有上唇与眼睑最高处的距离。然后用宽度除以高度，计算结果即是你“脸部的宽高比（FWHR）”。
多数人的脸部宽高比在1.5～2.1之间，数值越大自然脸也越宽。科学家称，脸宽者，如韦恩？鲁尼，往往咄咄逼人、气势汹汹、自信武断；脸瘦者往往更平静温和。
科学家怀疑原因在于睾丸素。这种激素通常容易让男性脸庞更为粗犷——眉毛粗重、下颌突出、脸形更宽。
2. 用大拇指思考
合起双手，手指交叠在一起，一根大拇指在上，另一根在下。在上面的大拇指暗示了你是的思维方式靠逻辑还是凭直觉。
这个测试的理论依据是：大脑的两半专门负责不同的思维方式。左脑更多涉及逻辑和语言，右脑则处理情感、视觉和创造力。如果右手大拇指在上，这意味着你是富有逻辑、讲理性的“左脑思维者”。同理，如果左手大拇指在上，说明你更有可能是富有创造力、凭直觉的“右脑思考者”。
3. 手有发言权
伸出你的右手，并拢手指，比较下你的食指与无名指的长度，从指间到指节末端与手掌相连处的距离。这两指的相对长度和你在娘胎里受到多少睾丸素这一雄性激素大有关系。
手指长度可以解释清许多性格特点。多数女性的食指与无名指长度基本一致。不过，要是无名指长些，她们更自信坚定，也更容易做好生意。
4. 映射你的大脑
你觉得你“自己”在你心里还是在你的脑海里？记住你的回答。这一回答能透露许多性格特点。
自称他们“自己”在心里的人做决定时更易于依赖情感和直觉。而认为自己存在于自身头脑中的人更看重独立，常规知识性测试做得更好，面对压力也不容易感情用事。
5. 打开“心眼”
向前伸出双手，在眼前合上，露出一小块空当。双眼睁开，望向空当外，集中注意力盯着远处的物体看，比如可以看门把手。闭起左眼，如果物体还在视野内，那你的右眼就是主视眼。
如果你是左眼主视，你的大脑更重视你左眼看到的事物。也就是说，你要用主视眼来看望远镜、照相机的取景器和钥匙孔——那样看更自然更方便。
