12.1.5. FULL HEAD SHAPES
12.1.5. FULL HEAD SHAPES
************************
These are best gauged by studying the back of the head, to gain a different perspective than the facial outlines. Often, it is possible to obtain an inkling of a person’s individuality from a brief and distant back view; hence, although this is no more than an index to very general traits, it is valuable nonetheless.
For convenience, head shapes can be classified in three simple groups:
Type A: This is a semicircular type, following an even, well proportioned curve. It shows an impulsive, sometimes aggressive nature, with a willingness to take chances. This may be attributed in some degree to confidence in one’s own knowledge or ability, which in turn means a lack of worry over consequences. This is a head shape common to men who handle big business matters.
Type B: This is a squarish or flattish type, block-shaped and therefore rugged. It symbolizes caution, which is sometimes classed as obstinacy. It also represents deliberation, which may be mistaken for indecision. But these actually add up to dependability. Once anyone of this type makes up his mind to a purpose, he almost always acts firmly and efficiently.
Type C: This is a pointed type, sometimes classed as egg-shaped. It shows intuition, with ability to chart a course according to circumstances and conditions, rather than following any fixed policy. Here we find a diplomatic nature, though persons of this type will also rise forcefully to an occasion when they feel they are right. They are apt to accept artificial standards and govern their actions accordingly; hence they frequently stress their self-importance.
12.1.4. COMPOSITE FACES
12.1.4. COMPOSITE FACES
***********************
Though comparatively few faces conform exactly to the round, triangular, and square shapes, many approximate them sufficiently to be classed in a specific category. An oval face may be regarded as round; a face is triangular if it narrows to the chin, though it is not actually pointed, while a strongly oblong face belongs in the square type.
By picturing each visage in a frame of one of the shapes just described, over-all judgment may be made, with further analysis depending on a study of other features. But there are composite faces that show two shapes, or leave doubt as to their exact type. These should be modified accordingly.
12.1.4.1. THE ROUND-TRIANGULAR
******************************
Wide at the temples, sloping inwardly, then rounding widely at jowls and chin. This shows mentality of the triangular type, tempered by the commercial sense of the round. Judgment is not always a strong factor, however. This blend indicates optimism, because of the many ideas coupled with self-confidence. The result may be complacency or indulgence, with a lack of action.
Where the upper face is rounded, with the chin coming to a strong triangular point, the calculating nature of the round type is more apt to be the dominating factor. Here, ingenuity is often keener than intellect, and quick thinking may supplant deeper thought. A good combination in the handling of business details.
