12.1.7.4. FRONTAL FEATURES
**************************
Study of frontal features forms a valuable adjunct to physiognomy, as lesser observations corroborate the more important findings and sometimes supply distinct points of their own.
These run as follows:
FOREHEAD
********
When high, this denotes a strongly mental type; if wide, a tendency toward theory and philosophy, hence the expression “high-brow.” High but narrow, an analytical scientific mind. When low, it shows a practical, direct nature, given more to action than to theory hence the expression “low-brow.” Most foreheads are between these extremes, so hey can be gauged proportionately.
EYEBROWS
********
If heavy or bushy, an intense, strong nature, but inclined to domineer and become blunt in manner. If light or pencil-thin, they show a fastidious but sometimes fussy nature.
When wide apart the eyebrows show adaptability, but indicate that the person is easily influenced. Close together, of the “Beetle” type, they show nervous energy often coupled with emotional outbursts.
Straight eyebrows mark an alert, active nature, while curved eyebrows show a more inquiring type. Downward slopes show petulance or resignation; upward, considerable ambition. A double curve connotes artfulness; while arched eyebrows indicate an imaginative nature.
