Sorting through old notes, I came across a former hobby of mine - studying the proportions of the human body and how they reflect a person's inner world, character, inclinations, and reveal heredity and development potential. This time I want to share material about the human palm.
One day we were deliberating on how a person's choice of car reveals their character. Running through the circle of acquaintances, friends, and relatives in our minds along with their vehicles, we ended up putting together a short typological description of each brand's owner. It must be said straight away that we make no claim to any kind of scientific or research-based conclusions - this is purely subjective observation. And exceptions always exist.
Would you believe that even by what fruits you choose for dessert or snack between meals, something can be said about a few of your character traits? American psychologist Elaine Kahn is said to have compiled a description of fruits and corresponding human character traits. Read about this classification and what I think about it all.
Just as Freud once made a great fuss about slips of the tongue - which are never accidental and reveal something about a person's inner state of mind - so too doodles and scribbles in the margins of paper are not accidental. Psychologists have for a long time studied the connection between unconsciously drawn lines and a person's inner experiences. I will try to summarise a few findings briefly.
My interest in this science or pseudoscience (whichever you prefer) was sparked by a programme on the television channel "24ТЕХНО", where an English phrenologist talked about the history of the theory and briefly introduced its essence. In any case, it is one of the ways for a person to get to know themselves and others, and to understand their predisposition towards one thing or another.
