PERSONOLOGY 
Background
PERSONOLOGY is a science that reveals a person’s innate talents and
abilities, emotional response and sensitivity and also thinking process and
communication style.
For a very long time there have been many studies undertaken connecting the
structure of the body to behaviour, but it was Dr. Edward Jones, a Superior High
Court Judge in California in the 1930’s who researched and tested the process
of measuring inherited traits and he called his discovery “PERSONOLOGY”.
Jones founded and chartered the Personology Foundation of California in 1941
and worked with the Los Angeles Police Department. Dr. Jones’
observations were later validated and a study of 1,050 adults was made from
1950-1963 when measurements of 68 facial features were recorded and correlated
with personality factors using standard statistical techniques. The
analysis of the results showed an impressive 92% accuracy! When Personology
was used for counselling relationships, the information elicited helped couples
in 88% of the cases. A later survey of a group of 472 individuals indicated that
the vocational recommendations based on these traits resulted in a 96% professed
job satisfaction.
What is Personology?
Face reading is based on facts. The innate abilities and characteristics that
we inherit are only one of the forces controlling our lives. Early
nurturing and experience of childhood, and later on, strongly shape the growth
of our personalities. Of course, after childhood we still can, by conscious
desire and choice, change our attitudes, behaviour and activities and be
supported in our personal growth and development.
Personology, unlike psychology, does not rely on subjective interpretation. Instead,
Personology is a system by which anyone, of normal intelligence and an interest
in the subject matter, can learn to identify and interpret the various traits.
Traits we can consider are the length of the legs in comparison to the rest
of the body, the hands and facial features. Generally, the left side
of the face represents the mother and the right side represents the father - the
more significant the difference, the more likely the tendency towards mood
swings!
It is important to remember that in Personology we talk about positives and
challenges (not negatives). Personology is a tool whereby we can find out
about our innate talents and abilities but of course inevitably it is our
decision to choose how we use them and how we live our life.
How can Personology be used?
Personology can be used for personal development, communications,
human resource, sales training programs, career guidance, relationships and
understanding your children.
Whenever you look at a new face you instinctively form an impression about
the person without any conscious effort. You can tell whether they are
friendly, aloof, reserved, introvert, confident, trustworthy. As you learn
to recognise specific facial features and the traits they indicate, you are able
to understand many more things about the person before you begin speaking.
Understanding Face Reading is invaluable for anyone who interacts with other
people, particularly in the work field. By looking at photographs of
applicants for a specific job, you can see which ones would be more likely to be
successful and comfortable in the role. For instance, for a job that
required high analytical skills, it would be advisable to give priority to the
person whose eyelids are less apparent (see below), as it has been observed that
the degree of exposure of the eyelids has a direct bearing on analytical skills.
Using Face Reading for relationship compatibility is
invaluable in many instances. There are six important traits to observe: Leg
length, Intellect, Tolerance, Temperament, Width of face and similarities in
Interest (People & Things). If these traits are not similar in the
couple then there is a real possibility that the relationship will be very
challenging indeed! For example, if one partner has fine hair and the other
course hair (ie. Temperament), the finer person may see the other as harsh
and unfeeling. There would be differences in their approach to love making. The
course haired person would see the other as being overly sensitive. Once
each individual had been made aware of the differences then each partner would
be able to adjust to the other and make allowances.
Understanding your children with Personology is invaluable. For
instance, recognising hand co-ordination will enable parents to select their
children’s games and toys. If, for instance, hand co-ordination is low
the parents will be aware that the child needs support and encouragement in
using a toy that requires high hand co-ordination.
