Aspie Physiognomy

I have come cross several Aspie morphs, this is my analysis of them.

Aspie Features [1]

Dark hair

Strong Supraorbital ridges

Large, deep set eyes

Wide set eyes

Short nose

Broad forehead

Smaller distance between the philtrum and glabella

This morph is split into two subgroups, which I will call Type A (subgroup 1) and Type B (subgroup 2)

Type A

Physiognomy 

Elven appearance

Commonly blonde

Rounded forehead

Negatively tilted eyebrows

Emotionless, dark eyes, 

Long mid-face

Drooping cheeks

Small chin and jaw

Pale skin

Type B

 

Physiognomy 

Flattened forehead

Positively tilted eyebrows

Strong supraorbital ridges

Wide set eyes

Usually coloured eyes, which are emotive

fleshy nose tip with a weaker bridge

Square face

Stronger jaw

Another Study [2] has identified three sub groups of Aspies which I call type A1, B1, and B2.

The study which produced these morphs had a larger sample size, so I think that these three types represent more specific variations of the first two types.

I used the type A and B examples to introduce those types, but all type A's and B's fit into either B2 and A1, or B1 and B2 respectively. Think of the pure A and B types as ancestors to the three types above, with type B2 being derived from either A or B rather than a mixture of both.

Type A1

Physiognomy

Flat and forward projected brow ridge

Large eye sockets

Receded cheek bones

Long mid-face

Long nose

Drooping cheeks

Small chin and jaw

Often Blonde

Ectomorphic

The Four Sides of the Mind Influence Appearance.

A video describing the four sides of the mind can be found here.

The variation in appearance within MBTI types can be explained by:

1: Genetic differences

2: Epigenetic/Environmental differences 

3: Influences from the other three sides of the mind

                                                                                                                   (ESFJ)            

                                   

These are my four ESFJ examples, you should be able to see that the left and right column each have distinct features. The left is what I have identified as pure ESFJ and the right are ISFP influenced ESFJ's. In these two examples you can see the innocent and unassuming Fi Hero gaze, and the rounder and fatter features that are typical of ISFP's. Only slight differences in the structure of the face show ESFJ influence, so unless you know how identify the interplay between the sides of the mind, then you should assume you are seeing a representation of the Ego, to avoid mistyping.

When one of the three sides of the mind influences the face it always represents a natural development of that type; specifically the Hero function of that type. The ESFJ's shown on the left would be expected to be more classically Fe, and the ESFJ's on the right to have more effective use of Fi from their ISFP Unconcious. ISFP influenced ESFJ's also have lower Pre-NT.

(INTP)

In these four examples you can see that there is one outlier. It is Edward VIII at the bottom left who has ISFP and therefore Fi influence. The other three are ESFJ (Fe) influenced INTP's which is quite a typical influence for INTP's who have become famous through a career.

Friedrich Schiller 

ENTJ (Te) influenced INTP

Arran Lomas

INTP (Ti) influenced ISFP

Henry Ford and Bernard Montgomery 

INFP (Fi) influenced ESTJ's 

Bjorn Andreas Bull Hansen

ESFJ (Fe) influenced ISFP

John Lennon 

ISTP (Ti) and ESTJ (Te) influenced INFP

Thomas Edison

INTJ (Ni) influenced ENTP

Quentin Tarantino

ESFP (Se) influenced ENTP

Bertrand Russel

 ISFJ (Si) influenced ENTP

Before I knew about the four sides of the mind I incorrectly typed Russel as an ISTJ, but his eyes and philosophy are typically ENTP. His ISFJ Subconscious, is why he acts like a typical wise old man.

The Physiognomy of MBTI Types

Physiognomy is the study of determining personality from the body, this is controversial, but easily proven.

We collect information from everything we see, rocks, buildings, trees. With this information we can come to conclusions on the nature of things, and then make judgements based on those conclusions. There is no reason to think this principle does not apply to something as complex as the face, which has evolved to convey information.

You came to the conclusion that he has Down Syndrome just by looking at him. That is because Down Syndrome is when there is an extra chromosome, and with so much novel genetic material it gives unique personality traits along with facial features.

The facial features themselves are not the cause of personality, but there is a correlation.

Important observations

Europeans have the highest individuality of all peoples. This individuality is expressed through idiosyncratic traits being amplified. For example, a European ISTJ will look more ISTJ than an East Asian ISTJ, because his ancestors went through more selection that favoured diversity within populations.

The same principle applies to men. Women select from a small pool of men to mate with, and so the evolutionary strategy of men is to stand out, this shows itself in the greater diversity of appearance that men have. Therefore I have only used European men as examples, so that each types nuances can be appreciated fully.

Finally, the last example for each type comes from Legend of the Galactic Heroes, and has been used to show how each types features have unconsciously been translated into Art.
