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.
