Features: II. How to Judge a Person's Character Based on Their Eyes
The eyes are the windows of the soul. Eye contact is the window to observe a person's psychological activities. Observing the eyes of others to understand them is one of the basic skills in the business world.
1. Eyes can reveal a person's joys and sorrows
(1) When excited, a person's eyes may radiate a fiery glow.
(2) When discouraged, a person's eyes may appear dull and lifeless.
(3) When angry, the eyes may burn with fury.
(4) When happy, the eyes are joyful.
(5) When sad, the eyes droop, half open and half closed.
2. Eyes can reveal a person's personality
The eyes can reveal a person's temperament. Whether someone is warm-hearted or easily angered, indifferent or enthusiastic, kind or malicious, can all be reflected through the eyes.
(1) What do eyes of a good personality look like?
Eyes of a good personality have the following characteristics:
(1) Long and filled with a compassionate glow.
(2) Moderately clear.
(3) Eyes aligned horizontally, with no protruding or sunken eyeballs.
(4) Clear distinction between the white and black parts of the eyes, with large and bright pupils. The black part of the eyes is in the middle of the upper and lower eyelids, without revealing the white part.
Eyes that meet these characteristics are ideal, and the personality is good.
(2) Key points in reading personality through eyes
How can one read people by their eyes? The main methods include:
(1) Observing the size of the eyes.
People with large eyes are outgoing and sensitive; those with small eyes are cunning and less sensitive.
(2) Observing whether the gaze is gentle.
People with a gentle gaze have deep emotions; those with a fierce gaze are determined and cruel.
(3) Observing the speed of the pupils' movement.
People with fast-moving pupils are warm-hearted but easily influenced by others; those with slow-moving pupils are self-centered.
(4) Observing the alignment of the eyes.
People with horizontally aligned eyes have straightforward personalities and stable lives; those with long eyes are deep-thoughted, intuitive, and prone to impulsive actions.
(5) Observing the width between the eyes.
People with wide eyes are optimistic and generous; those with narrow eyes are pessimistic but can deeply grasp things.
