What are you able to predict about a person based on their looks?
Are you able to tell their sexual orientation? Political orientation? Music they listen to? Are they narcissistic/empathetic? Their educational degree?
None of that or anything exactly
@Optimisticempath not one thing?

@helloCranberry5684 But it shouldn't be about looks, it should be about who they are when you start chatting to them.
@Christina25 most people hide who they are so your comment doesnt relate to reality
@helloCranberry5684 You really cant tell much by how people look. Sometimes you can get some very basic info but not a lot. For instance I have lost a lot of my front teeth due to medical issues and having to go on intense rounds of medication but when most people see me they assume i am/was a meth user (when i have never touched any drugs stronger than pot). People get me wrong all the time when it comes to other random information as well. Unless im wearing my rainbow necklace or anything like that people assume im straight even though im bisexual. People have no idea that I went to school for animal sciences or that i enjoy reading and gaming unless i am wearing something that would tell them that.
maybe you can tell. I am not sure if you can know for sure but at least you can guess. Also the clothes they wear. you can have a picture of their personality 🤷♂️
Great question though!
There was actually an interesting study that showed people can spot narcissistic people visually better than chance. Note that this is general narcissistic personality instead of a medical diagnosis.
I learned it from the Ologies podcast (Perrsonality Psychology encore episode), but look up "Dr. Simine Vazire, Portrait of a narcisist".
I would venture to say i can spot someone who very anxious, very depressed, or very shy/introvert. other than that, not much.

I can tell that when somone dresses themselves in a way that shows a lot of their body, that they enjoy reviving a lot of attention from other people.
