Phenotypology - What Your Nose Can Tell About You

I knew the lecturer Marks Lučins from an LTRK seminar on the powerful thinking technique. This time the subject was a different technique - determining a person's character and their perception of the world based on their appearance (nose, ears, chin, etc.). The speaker illustrated the dry technique with vivid examples of how one might hire the wrong employee or marry the wrong person if one ignores one's own and their purely visual and physical traits. Since the lecturer is a naturally eloquent, charismatic speaker, the event passed in a relaxed, cheerful atmosphere.

The talk began with an analogy about dogs - their traits and corresponding behaviour - and ended with many requests from the audience and people showing photographs on their smartphones, asking Marks to characterise a husband or wife, a son or daughter, a fiancé or lover from a picture. By the time that last activity was underway I was already slipping out of the room, but not before listening to an hour and a half of fascinating storytelling about noses - and now, for the second day running, I find myself involuntarily studying the noses of clients, candidates, employees, and friends.

What should you pay attention to when getting to know someone?

1) physiology;

2) psycho-physiology;

3) character;

4) compensatory psychological mechanisms.

A Long Nose

Long and short noses have a different rate of air and scent passage, which in turn affects perception of the surrounding environment and of people. People with long noses tend to speak more slowly and fluidly. They need stories rooted in feelings and sensations. Typical long-nose owners are actors and sommeliers.

People with long noses must not be rushed - you need to adapt to their pace. You can give a woman with a long nose a single rose on a long stem with an elegant bow or fine ribbon. She will appreciate the refined style of food presentation in a quality restaurant - a small amount in the very centre of the plate, with all components served separately.

A Short Nose

People with short noses are typically irritated by long and "watery" speeches. They need everything quickly, briefly, and concisely - straight to the point. Short-nosed people speak quickly and energetically, with broad, expansive gestures. They do not always behave tactfully, as a fast, unconsidered, and direct reaction is their normal mode of conduct.

Short-nosed buyers cannot be engaged with lengthy descriptions of how they will feel when they purchase this or that product. They need specifications, numbers, percentages, prices - all of it. A woman with a short nose should be given enormous bouquets barely manageable to hold - she will appreciate that. In food, too, she will sooner choose large, hearty portions over prettily arranged morsels on a plate.

A Rounded Nose Tip

Attention should also be paid to the nose tip. A rounded nose tip - the person sees the big picture and interconnections, but is careless with details. Well suited as chief accountants, managers, and Santa Clauses.

A Pointed Nose Tip

People with a pointed nose tip tend towards details and minutiae, and cannot see the big picture. Well suited as dentists, accounts clerks, data entry operators, and auto repair mechanics.

Since this was only a tasting, the full training is planned to cover and analyse other features and proportions of the face and body. If this appeals to anyone, you can enquire at Sapņu Osta. ;)
