Chapter 4 Eyebrows: The FBI tells you that eyebrows can also express inner changes

1
Different Personality Traits Represented by Different Types of Eyebrows

As we all know, eyebrows can modify and protect the eyes, and also have the function of perspiration, which is an important channel for the self-regulation of human body functions.Psychologists say that in daily communication, people tend to pay attention to each other's eyes, while eyebrows are often ignored.In fact, the character information carried by eyebrows is also very rich and accurate.It has become a new research topic for psychologists to analyze character through the characteristics of eyebrows.

Psychologists have found that eyebrows often need to cooperate with eyes in facial expressions. The specific situation is: if the eyebrows do not change and the eyes do not change, it means that the person is in peace; if the eyebrows do not change, but the eyes are open. Big, indicating that his mood is between impatience and anger, but if the actor's facial expressions and actions fail to achieve the expected effect, then he may take further actions; It is likely to be in a state of panic, and after a brief reaction, the perpetrator is likely to take a very violent action; and if the eyebrows are raised, but the eyes do not change, it means that the perpetrator is under pressure and has accepted what is happening in front of him. , and obeyed, although there may be varying degrees of resentment in his heart.

It can be said that the information conveyed by eyebrow and eye coordination is very complex and ever-changing, and any slight change in it may be a sudden psychological change of the perpetrator.As long as the actor cooperates tacitly, the information between eyebrows and eyes can still be transmitted accurately, and it is faster and more reliable than verbal transmission.Of course, in different cultural systems, the psychological information conveyed by eyebrows is also different.Take the slight raising of eyebrows as an example. People in most countries think that this is an action to greet each other in daily life, and even human close relatives, chimpanzees, also use this method to convey inner messages.But in Japan, this gesture is endowed with another meaning-in their view, this is a very frivolous and vulgar gesture, and if it is for the opposite sex, it even contains sexually suggestive information.Therefore, psychologists remind people to be cautious when using facial expressions to convey information, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

In order to further understand the personality information contained in eyebrows, psychologists have also studied the shape of eyebrows.The findings suggest that there is a link between different shapes of eyebrows and personality.

People with thicker and longer eyebrows are usually energetic, full of passion, and have a better ability to accept new things.They are mainly extroverted, optimistic, proactive, and able to withstand strong setbacks and pressure.In terms of specific work, such people are often able to be serious and responsible, pursue perfection, and stick to it.However, it is difficult for such people to accept different opinions. Even when helping others, they follow their own ideas completely and rarely take into account the feelings of others.In addition, this kind of people also have varying degrees of desire for performance, and like to take the limelight on various occasions, and sometimes even deliberately belittle others in order to raise their own social status.Therefore, such people do not have strong survival ability in the group, but they are easy to be appreciated by leaders and have a good room for promotion.And once such people become leaders, their strong and determined side will be revealed, and it is likely to become the style of the entire team.

For people with slender eyebrows, psychologists have found that most of their personality factors are negative, mainly manifested as low self-esteem, indecision and resentment.In fact, the biggest shortcoming of this kind of people is not here, but that they cannot reflect on themselves, and they are never willing to face up to their own mistakes and shortcomings.Fortunately, such people are usually very empathetic and kind-hearted, especially unwilling to add burdens to others, so they are more independent.Due to their personality, such people are often able to calm down and engage in some boring jobs, and their imagination and creativity are also very good.

A person with straight eyebrows, who looks like a "one" character, is a typical intelligent character.Psychologists believe that such people are rational, knowledgeable, and able to build sufficient confidence on this basis.This makes their ability to make decisions on the fly very strong, and they can maintain the best state when facing any people and things, and when meeting challenges and capturing opportunities, the extraordinary ability displayed by such people is often amazing.In addition, such people don't care about personal gains and losses, have a relatively fair concept of right and wrong, and even take maintaining justice as their own duty.Therefore, in real life, such people are usually respected by many people and become important figures in a group or even in a field.

People with curved eyebrows like a crescent moon generally have a strong personality and are full of creativity.Psychologists have found that such people can usually achieve outstanding results in more creative work, such as scientific research, academics, arts and other industries.However, such people usually have poor patience and sense of responsibility. They will devote a lot of energy and time to the things they are interested in, and can even take up time for eating and sleeping. ignore it.As a result, it makes this kind of people very unstable in ordinary jobs, and it is difficult to achieve ideal results.If they cannot be appreciated and effectively guided by their leaders, the creativity of such people will not only bring them no benefits, but will make them run into walls everywhere.

People with thinner eyebrows usually have a more introverted personality. They like to think about problems alone, and they can comprehensively analyze and consider the suggestions made by others.They are pragmatic and rational at all times, and their survivability is usually relatively strong.In addition, research by psychologists has found that this is a type of people who like to hide behind the crowd and secretly manipulate the development of the situation. They have a strong ability to disguise and protect themselves.However, once the ideology of such people deviates, it will become the most troublesome factor of social instability.Therefore, such people are also paid special attention by the social security department.In everyday life, this type of person also has the potential to be a leader.Because of their wit and cunning, they can often come out on top in the competition of thousands of troops and achieve great achievements.

People with two eyebrows that are very close to each other, or even connected together, are usually narrow-minded, preoccupied in dealing with others, and have to pay back every detail, so they are rarely welcomed by people.Psychologists say that the negativity of such people will also deepen with the thickness and connection of the eyebrows.If it develops to the extreme, it will be irritable and irritable, and often lose its reason for a little thing, and even do things that both people and gods hate.In addition, there is also a certain relationship between the eyebrow shape of such people and their physiological characteristics.According to another research data by psychologists, in some mentally retarded, mentally ill and a series of cerebral palsy patients, the probability of this eyebrow shape is very high.

People with very thin and thin eyebrows tend to be willful, very sensitive, moody, and often bring unexpected troubles to people.Psychologists remind people that the severity of this personality defect will increase as the eyebrow color becomes lighter, until it develops into an irreparable psychological defect.In addition, such people have a weak concept of feelings, and family, friendship and love will be tied to gains and losses to varying degrees by them.Once the interests are damaged, such people will ruthlessly abandon their emotional objects, and regard this as rational and normal.Therefore, such people not only have difficulty in achieving success in their lives, but also end up alone, living in resentment and despair all the time.

People with split eyebrows.The so-called bifurcation of the eyebrows means that the eyebrows are separated from the middle or the end, and then grow toward the two sides at a 30-degree angle, which looks like one end of the two eyebrows gathered together.Such people are usually stubborn. They seldom change their decisions due to external factors. When encountering difficulties and pressures, not only will they not give in, but the more frustrated they become, the more courageous they become.On the other hand, psychologists point out that the fate of such people is relatively unfortunate. Although they value their relatives and friends very much, they will experience hardships in terms of relationships.Especially for women, once such eyebrows are born, the degree of misfortune will be further deepened.

People with messy eyebrows.Most people's eyebrows grow in one direction, so whether the eyebrows are sparse, dense, thick or thin, they look more natural and smooth.But the shape of messy eyebrows is different, and almost every eyebrow grows in different directions, which looks messy.Such people are often born smarter, but have been poisoned by vanity since childhood.Therefore, their personalities will gradually become conceited, and they often play tricks, but due to their high self-esteem, they tend to be self-defeating, and eventually end up being misunderstood by their cleverness.In addition, being divorced from reality and talking on paper is also a major "bright spot" in the character of this type of person.

People whose eyebrows and eyes are too close together.The eyebrows of this kind of people almost grow on the eyelids, giving people the feeling that they grow under the eyes, so some people call them heavy eyebrows.Because of physiological effects, men's eyebrows are usually thicker and thicker than women's, and the oppressive effect on the eyes will be more obvious. Therefore, for men, slightly compressed eyebrows are not heavy eyebrows.But women are different. As long as their eyebrows are a little thick and close to the eyes, they already belong to heavy eyebrows.The biggest characteristic of this type of person is impatience, and the reason for impatience often comes from greed and lack of self-confidence. They usually decide on something because of their impulsiveness, and when the matter develops in depth, they find that they are not prepared at all, so This kind of people often do things anticlimactically, end hastily, and make a mess.In addition, psychologists also said that if there are signs of disorder in the eyebrow shape of such people, it will undoubtedly make their personality flaws worse, and they will always lead things to a dead end, leaving an unmanageable mess in the end. endgame.

People with eyebrows shaped like brooms.The eyebrow shape of this kind of people is usually called broom eyebrow, that is, the brow is very concentrated, but the eyebrow tail is more scattered, and the whole looks like a bunch of brooms.The biggest character defect of this kind of people is that they are very suspicious. They never trust anyone, and always keep everything as a secret and bury it deep in their hearts.In addition, such people are greedy for power but are timid, so life is often extremely difficult and fearful, because they often do things that harm others and benefit themselves behind the scenes.Based on this, psychologists point out that most of these people are negative social factors, and their existence often brings trouble or even disaster to others.

According to psychologists, in real life, people's eyebrows can be described as strange, and it is not an exaggeration to say that each person has a different eyebrow shape.From this point of view, the so-called looking at character through eyebrow shape is only a general description.If you want to fully grasp a person's character, you often need the observer to have profound psychological knowledge and rich professional experience.But in order to enable ordinary researchers to have a deeper understanding of eyebrow shape, psychologists have also given some specific shapes of eyebrows and the relationship between personality: triangular, roughly triangular in shape, people with this type of eyebrow shape have a resolute personality , not afraid of violence; eight-character eyebrows, which look like an inverted "eight" character, this kind of person has an upright character and firm belief; knife-shaped eyebrows, with sharp edges and corners, like a knife, this kind of person is ruthless, conceited and decisive.

In addition, psychologists have further pointed out that eyebrow shapes are different to varying degrees for men and women.Generally speaking, the eyebrows of men are thick, dense, and thick as the standard, because such eyebrows make people feel majestic, mighty, energetic, and full of wisdom. On this basis, it will be more accurate to analyze their personality characteristics; The standard of eyebrows is thin, long and dense. Such eyebrows can fully reflect women's tenderness, beauty, purity of heart and fullness of spirit.

The FBI teaches you to understand the eyebrows as a reference for mood changes
The main function of eyebrows is to protect the eyes and prevent sweat or rainwater from flowing into the eyes.In addition to this function, eyebrows can also show the rich expressions of human beings, because as people's mood changes, the shape of eyebrows will also change.Eyebrows occupy an important position on the face, not only beautifying people's appearance, but also enriching people's expressions.

The stretching, compacting, rising, and drooping of eyebrows all reflect complex psychological activities such as people's emotions.

In the process of solving crimes, the FBI often finds useful clues through changes in eyebrows. FBI agent Custer took over a case one night.The informant, Mr. Mars, said that he was on duty at the factory. Ten minutes ago, the factory suddenly lost power. He was just going to the switch room to check the reason when he saw a group of people prying open the door of a storage room and breaking in.Because there were so many people on the other side, he didn't dare to speak out, so he hid quietly in one place.He found out that the gang had stolen the valuables from the storage room, so he quickly reported it.

Custer rushed to the scene immediately, but found no clues, so he asked Mars for details again: "What are the characteristics of the group you saw?" Mars replied: "There are 3 of them in total, and one of them seems to be It's an Indian with a scar on his face." Castor asked, "Did you really see clearly?" "Yes, because one of them had a flashlight, and by the light they could just see the man's face." Mars answered while frowning as if thinking about something.Then, Custer asked a few more details, during which Mr. Mars's brow was furrowed, and it was only when Custer was about to leave that Mars' brow relaxed.Custer noticed the change and cast doubt on Mars' statement.

After several interrogations, Mars revealed more of his flaws, and finally admitted that he had secretly removed the items in the storage room.In this case, FBI agent Custer noticed the abnormality in the eyebrow changes of the other party, so he identified him as a suspect.

In many cases, FBI agents can clearly see the inner activities of the other party as long as they look at their eyebrows.From what details do they obtain effective information?In fact, there are many reasons for a person to frown. For example, when a person expresses his doubts or objections to the other party, he will frown involuntarily; Squeeze your eyebrows upwards to create a frown. FBI agents often see frowning expressions during the interrogation of prisoners, and the squeezing of the muscles around the eyebrows is the most instinctive reaction to an attack.When people encounter bright light, they will also make such actions.In addition, frowning also expresses dislike or disgust.People with deep frowns are usually depressed. They often want to change the current situation, but for some reason cannot do so.If a person frowns while laughing, it means that he must have a little worry and concern in his heart, and frowning means a bit of shrinking. It bothered him too.

Plus, a frowning face can make others nervous.In fact, frowning is just a defensive expression. A truly aggressive and fearless face is one with eyes wide open and no frown.

The expression of raising eyebrows can be divided into single eyebrow raising and double eyebrow raising.People with raised eyebrows usually want to escape from vulgar things, and they generally have arrogance and arrogance.A person with a slanted eyebrow is usually skeptical, and the raised eyebrow is like a question mark.People with raised eyebrows often only appear when they are extremely happy or surprised. In this case, people's mood fluctuates greatly.

Shrugging the eyebrows refers to the action of raising the eyebrows, staying for a while and then lowering them, accompanied by the rapid downturning of the corners of the mouth, while the other parts remain unchanged. The FBI believes that this is an expression of helplessness or dissatisfaction.In addition, this expression is also made when a person wants to gain the approval or support of others.

Eyebrow flickering refers to raising the eyebrows first, then lowering them quickly, expressing friendliness.This expression often appears when lovers meet.If the eyebrows flicker in the conversation, it is to emphasize the content of the speech. Every time a word is read, the eyebrows will flicker, which means: "Be sure to hear every word I say."

Eyebrow lowering can be divided into full eyebrow lowering and half eyebrow lowering.Completely lowering the eyebrows means that you are very angry. If you provoke him again at this time, you will be asking for trouble; half-lowering the eyebrows is a gesture of doubt, and it is an expression of being puzzled by the behavior of the other party.

Inverted brows refer to eyebrows raised upside down, indicating that the person has become extremely angry.It may be that someone has done something sorry to him, or that he has been played by someone. This is an expression that is starting to go crazy.

Frowning often occurs when people are sad, anxious, or concentrating on a difficult task. The FBI said the meaning of such actions depends on the situation.For example, the financial staff of the company frowns tightly when checking the account books, which shows that he is cautious and serious about his work; but if this expression appears on the face of the prisoner under interrogation, it means that he is anxious or at a loss.At this time, if you want to get useful clues from the other party, you must patiently persuade and comfort them.

Eyebrows change in abundance, and as we age, brow changes can also leave deep marks on our foreheads and eventually form wrinkles.

Usually people who love to laugh will leave smile lines, which are the accumulated results of people's body language in life, reflecting a happy life.Those with furrowed eyebrows will squeeze out the furrows between their brows, reflecting that they may have gone through a rough life. The FBI pointed out that through the various changes of eyebrows, one can clearly understand a person's psychological changes, so eyebrows are also known as the reference for mood changes.

Mental activities implied by subtle changes in eyebrows
FBI psychologists have shown that changes in the shape of different eyebrows can reveal different information.Normal eyes and eyebrows indicate peace of mind; static eyebrows and wide eyes indicate anger; raised eyes and eyebrows indicate fright. In the process of investigating cases, FBI agents often infer the suspect's psychological activities through the movements of eyebrows, thus providing the most powerful evidence for solving the case.

Once in the investigation of a murder case, the FBI obtained favorable information and solved the case by observing the changes in the eyebrows of the suspect.At the time, FBI agent Vika was in charge of the case, and he was asking a man about it.The man was not the prime suspect in the case (since he had ample alibi), and he was cooperative with the FBI.Vika kept asking questions, and when asked about the murder weapon related to the case, Vika said: "If you were involved in this case, would you use a hammer?" "If you were involved in this case, would you use an awl?" ?” “If you were involved in this case, would you know how to use a knife?” The tool used in this case was an awl, which is already a public fact, and the man certainly knew it.The main purpose of Vika asking these questions is to observe how the suspect will react when he hears these murder weapons.When he heard the awl, his eyebrows moved suddenly. After Vika noticed the change in this detail, he locked the suspect as the first suspect.The final result proved that his judgment was correct.It can be seen that the eyebrows are indeed the most vulnerable part to be affected by mood.

Among the rich body language, raising eyebrows slightly is a very common action in life.In fact, the action of raising eyebrows has played a certain role in people's communication since ancient times.Usually, when two people are far away but want to greet each other, they can make a slightly raised eyebrow.This gesture has a universal meaning almost all over the world, but in Japan it should be done with caution.Because in Japan, raising eyebrows slightly is considered a bad behavior, and even in some cases, Japanese people will understand this behavior as a sexual suggestion.Therefore, FBI staff remind people to avoid such actions when communicating with Japanese in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

In addition to gently raising eyebrows, there are many kinds of eyebrow movements.In many cases, these subtle changes in eyebrows often better reflect a person's real inner activities.Especially in public places, people's facial features will make a lot of changes. If people only notice the obvious changes in the eyes or mouth when talking with each other, but ignore the subtle changes in the eyebrows, then it is likely because there is no Get the complete expression information, but can't understand the other party's real thoughts. The suspects faced by the FBI in the process of solving crimes are often people who are good at hiding. If you can't carefully observe the subtle changes in the opponent's eyebrows, it is difficult to obtain effective information from the opponent's facial expressions.Therefore, in most cases, subtle changes in eyebrows are an important basis for people to analyze each other's psychology.

There is also a situation where people raise their eyebrows slightly when they know what to ask.For example: a friend of yours bought a very expensive designer bag, and you know the price of the bag, but in order to match the other person’s desire to show off, you may pretend to be ignorant and ask: “This bag looks really good. How much?" At this time, you must control your eyebrows, otherwise your friends may see that you are asking knowingly.Of course, this is just a small thing in life. Even if the other party sees your flaws, they usually don't mind.However, in the process of handling the case by the FBI, if the prisoner does not control his eyebrows, it is easy to expose their crimes.

Once, FBI agent Matthew was assigned to investigate a bombing case. He decided to go to the suspect's home to find out whether his family knew the inside story of the bombing case.When he showed relevant investigation documents to the suspect's family, the suspect's family asked: "Our family is a legal citizen, what are you doing at my house?" Matthew found that when the suspect's family said that, their eyebrows raised slightly. for a moment.He immediately judged that the other party must know his purpose of coming, and he should also know what their son committed.Therefore, Matthew decided to start with the suspect's family members to inquire about the suspect's relevant information.In the end, the suspect's family was forced to reveal the suspect's hiding place.

The FBI often gets the information it wants to know through the eyebrows of the other party, which is very admirable.In life, many people will make similar subtle actions to cover themselves, but this is not because they have done something that is ashamed of others, but a kind of white lying in interpersonal communication.Therefore, people should know how to grasp the balance between them and control their body language expression.

Eyebrow shape and human personality and psychological characteristics

FBI senior non-verbal behavior expert Smith Felton pointed out that the shape of human beings is complex and changeable. Everyone has a different face, a pair of eyebrows, and a mouth. It will cause great changes in people's thinking and psychology.Different eyebrows also represent different character traits and emotional worlds.Therefore, the FBI has always been communicating with people and confronting criminal suspects, carefully observing the different personalities and psychology reflected by the different eyebrow shapes of the other party, so as to gain insight and discern their inner thoughts and intentions.

American personality psychologist Gordon Willard Allport, known as the "father of experimental social psychology", and some other psychologists and FBI elites are also in the process of long-term research and practice It is found that different eyebrow shapes can convey different information and psychological characteristics.Generally speaking, the more common eyebrow types mainly include the following:
(1) willow leaf eyebrow
This type of eyebrows is thicker, with curved tails and irregular horns, like a willow leaf in spring.People with this eyebrow shape are more sincere to others and get along well with friends, and when they smile, their curved eyebrow shape gives people a feeling of cuteness and honesty.And it is precisely because of this that their performance in life often gives people a feeling of being confused, but they themselves are often dumb eating glutinous rice balls-knowing it well.

When interacting with such people, don't try to mistreat them, or try to take advantage of them, etc.Although they didn't say it with their mouths, they knew it very well in their hearts.They don't say it because they respect their friends, but once they feel a real threat, they will spare no effort to resist, and their explosive power is also very strong.

(2) Short eyebrows

This eyebrow shape is too short for the eyes.People with this eyebrow shape are more selfish in temperament, easily angered, and never easily compromise with others.Such people are more sentimental, and once they encounter some kind of setback, they will involuntarily lament that fate is unfair to them.However, they never like to look for the reason, because in their view, everything is predestined, just like their short eyebrows, which cannot be fundamentally changed once they are formed.In addition, they also like cold wars with anyone they think are dissatisfied, and they never intend to speak out their thoughts, always wanting to make the other party compromise with themselves.

These people are more likely to suffer from mental illness.It is conceivable that if a person always keeps all the happiness and unhappiness in his heart, he will inevitably cause various psychological barriers to himself, and when such psychological barriers are not effectively resolved, it will lead to mental illness.What's more, such people are often unaware of this change in their psychology.

(3) Lying silkworm eyebrows
This kind of eyebrows has a delicate and slender shape, with thinner eyebrows and eyebrow tails, but thicker in the middle of the eyebrows.People with this eyebrow shape are usually taller and have a strong body, which often presents a sense of security to others.Although these people are naturally quick-witted and quick-witted, they are more frank.Because this kind of people have a strong sense of right and wrong, they never wrong the good people, and never let the bad people go.From this point of view, people tend to have respect for such people, so their interpersonal relationship is also better.

However, such people often act recklessly.As long as they think it is right or worth doing, they will do it without hesitation.What they believe, others generally cannot easily change, unless they themselves realize some kind of mistake.From this point of view, they are not so much stubborn as they are stubborn, because although they are stubborn, they are very reasonable.Therefore, when they realize some mistakes, they can correct them in time, so as to avoid irreversible consequences.

(4) Inverted eyebrows

"Inverted vertical" eyebrows refer to the shape of the eyebrows inverted into a character "eight".Generally speaking, such people do not have any exorbitant ideals and ambitions, and lack of aggressiveness, and do not have the psychological qualities for success.This kind of eyebrow looks too flying, making the eyes look a little sunken, so that they are mostly high-minded people, unwilling to do small things, but unable to do big things, always fantasizing about gold falling from the sky.

This type of person also likes to brag and show off, always talking loudly in front of classmates, friends and even relatives, flaunting themselves and exaggerating themselves.For example, if they earn 500 yuan because of something, when expressing themselves, they will exaggerate the amount that can express their value. For example, they will say that they have earned 800 yuan, 1000 yuan, or even more than 1000 yuan.In order to convince their friends, they even took out all the 500 yuan for a treat.In the eyes of friends, they just took out part of the money they earned, but in fact, they lost everything for the so-called "vanity".

It can be said that their behavior is a typical exaggerated personality.If this kind of person does not completely abandon this exaggerated personality, it will be difficult to achieve great achievements in life.And when dealing with such people, one must carefully examine the credibility of their words.

(5) Triangular eyebrows
Triangular eyebrows are also commonly known as "warrior eyebrows". Therefore, most of the mighty and sturdy people such as ordinary killers and warriors have this kind of eyebrows.People with this eyebrow shape are resolute and decisive in doing things, not afraid of any setbacks, but like to be self-centered.Because of their deep admiration for killers and warriors, many of them chose this profession.

FBI senior agent Michelle Monte pointed out that most of the cruel murderers, robbers, and kidnappers have triangular eyebrows, and in Michelle Monte's view, criminals with triangular eyebrows They are all quite cunning and vicious.Perhaps because of this, they treat life much more cruelly than ordinary criminals.And this eyebrow seems to have become a symbol of their ferocious nature, even daunting.Therefore, generally speaking, people with triangular eyebrows are not very flattering, so they are always alone.

(6) One word eyebrow
One-word eyebrows are also eyebrows shaped like the word "one" in block letters.There are thick and thin unlined eyebrows, and most of the people with thin unlined eyebrows are women. They often behave stubbornly, lack patience in doing things, and are eager for success.People with thick unibrows are mostly men. They have great courage, strong willpower, and a kind of spiritual momentum.You may wish to observe those people with thick monogram eyebrows in your life. They always give people a sense of majesty and majesty, and their voices are loud and loud, and they are extremely stern.Therefore, this kind of thick unibrow is more common in male eyebrows.

Charlie William Miller, a senior agent of the FBI, pointed out that men with thick monogrammed eyebrows are very likely to become intelligent criminals that cause headaches for the police.Because this kind of people are relatively calm, after they commit a crime, outsiders can't see any flaws from their appearance, and their solemn and mighty thick monogram eyebrows are very likely to become one of their tools to disguise themselves.Therefore, generally speaking, when encountering such thick-faced criminals, don't try to find any clues from their appearance, but must engage in psychological warfare with them, starting from disintegrating their hearts.
