Featured on Match.com Discussing Personality Traits
Renowned Boston plastic surgeon Jeffrey Spiegel recently contributed to a Match.com
(http://www.match.com/cp.aspx?cpp=/cppp/magazine/article0.html&articleid=13315&ER=sessiont
imeout) article entitled “Hidden Personality Clues” which addresses the significance of first
impressions. The article, penned by Laura Schaefer, addresses the relationship between
appearance, perception, and personality traits, using researched opinions from professionals like
Spiegel. The article reveals that the snap judgments we make about people based on facial features
are more accurate than we might believe.
Spiegel, as a double board certified Boston plastic surgeon, offers an informed opinion early on in
the piece regarding the connection between facial features and behavior. As he notes, the
perceptions of an outsider “can shape the person being judged so that his or her behavior actually
aligns with the trait the observer expects.” For example, as Spiegel further notes, women who
present as stereotypically feminine are often seen as more trustworthy people, which in turn
prompts them to behave in a trustworthy manner to meet these expectations.
The remainder of the article goes on to list a variety of different facial shapes and features and their
corresponding personality traits. A wider masculine face, for instance, signals a self-sacrificing
personality. Likewise, a perfectly symmetrical face, often perceived as beautiful, corresponds to a
positive attitude since, as Spiegel notes, “people who are attractive are perceived in ways that are
desirable” and they then reflect that positive reaction outward.For more information please visit
