A “How To” guide to Quickly Know Each Type

A Summary of Each Type’s Face and Body Characteristics

The 7 personality types are determined by observing the physical characteristics of the combined Face and Body features that are used to identify the enduring character and temperament of an individual.  These 7 personality types evolved over the centuries through the practice of Physiognomy which is the art of judging human character from facial features and body types.  It is not hard to recognize the differences once you learn the guidelines.  They will become obvious to you.

You must first learn to read and recognize the different facial features and body type combined of a person to determine which of the 7 personality types they match.  Then you will be able to further refine your analysis of the person by observing individual facial characteristics that refine each type. It helps if you study the photo examples on the website. Additionally, learning the basics of Palmistry to further refine each type by the shape of the hand and the type of fingers is an area to explore once you decide which personality type is the best fit.  They are clues as to where a person falls within the personality type as it is a sliding scale of character traits that need to be refined.

For best results in deciding what personality type an individual is: 

FIRST: If someone is sitting or standing across from you, trust your observation based on the website personality types you reviewed and the 7 Personality Type photos and make a quick assessment of their overall body type, the rest will follow.  If you aren’t certain, you can eliminate the personality types you are certain they do not match.

THEN: Look again more carefully. Look at the body shape first: Are they tall and thin, short and stout, wirey and small boned….this will quickly give you a clue to the matching personality.  It is of primary importance as each personality has its own distinctive body shape.

Look at the whole face . It relates to the body type. Determine the shape of the face and the overall impression which is better than examining individual features.  You can do that later.

Facial Features:  Saturnians have an oblong face, thin not round and Saturnians often have what would be best described as a “hatchet shaped” face.  Their cheekbones are high and prominent and their eyes are often deep set close to their brows.  The most common color would be a deep brown.  They have a sad and subdued expression. Their neck has a protruding Adams apple as they age.

Lunarian Type

(Creative Dreamers)

Body Type:  They are usually tall, soft, fleshy with a non-muscular body that appears rounded, no sharp angles. Lunarians have large hands and feet.  They are apt to walk with a slow gait, almost appearing to be shuffling since their arches are not high.

Facial Features: A round head, large in size which is broad through the temples. They have a very pale almost white complexion.  Lunarians have fine light colored hair which is usually straight and does not have body.  Eyes are rounded, sometimes heavy lidded, occasionally they are bulging slightly, but the important thing is that they are pale in color and do not sparkle. Their eyes could be described as luminous.  Their nose is small and sometimes turns up at the end like a pug nose.  Lips are small, somewhat pursed and their teeth are large and long.  Since the Lunarians are fleshy they can, as they age, develop a flabby neck and double chin.  Visualize Elton John, Alfred Hitchcock.

A telling feature is that the thumb of the Apollo is generally curved which is historically and indication of an adaptable and social personality.  Apollos are often fair rather than dark though some ethnic groups with darker skin tone have their share of Apollos.  In those cases you can determine if they are an Apollo personality  by the sparkle in their eyes and overall body characteristics.

Facial Features: Apollos are often fair with a slightly rosy tone to their skin and wavy blond hair rather than dark hair, though ethnic groups with darker skin tone have their share of Apollos.  In those cases you can determine if they are an Apollo personality  by the sparkle in their eyes and overall body characteristics.
