What face reading is People often confuse Face Reading with Body Language. Face Reading is reading the physical structure, features on a face. Body language instead is reading the body’s reactions and it is harder to read as many micro expressions last only 2/3 of a second. According to Lin, western face reading has up to 92% accuracy. Each part of the face has a special feature that affects different areas of our lives. Noses are about decisions, jaw is a bout personal power, chin is about being grounded, ears is about how we take information, and eyebrows tell more about a person than anything else.

Within companies, people from management and HR are using face reading for interviewing new personnel, for understanding other parts of the world they’re not familiar with, etc. Related: Body Language for Winning an Important Meeting Favorite quotation “We don’t see things as they are.
