System and method for evaluating personality using anthropometric measurement of a person's face

A method on a computing system for evaluating a person's personality through anthropometric measurement of the person's face, the method comprising:

• a) taking a plurality of photographs of the person's face from various angles;
• b) storing said plurality of photographs and a lookup table;
• c) volatile memory;
• d) analyzing a plurality of photographs so as to identify a predefined set of features on the person's face;
• e) taking a plurality of measurements of the person's face based on the set of features that were identified, including measuring an inclination of the person's forehead, a bizygomatic breadth and a width of each zygomatic arch;
• f) calculating additional measurements based on the plurality of measurements, including a ratio of the bizygomatic breadth and the width of a zygomatic arch;
• g) accessing the lookup table that includes multiple sets of measurements of a person's face, and defines a correspondence between each set of measurements and a set of personality characteristics;
• h) analyzing the lookup table to identify a set of measurements of the multiple sets of measurements that most closely match the plurality of measurements and the additional measurements, thereby identifying a matching set of measurements;
• i) generating a report that defines a set of personality characteristics in the lookup table that correspond to the matching set of measurements;
• and
• j) displaying the report.

A system for evaluating a person's personality through anthropometric measurement of the person's face, comprising:

• a) a camera for taking a plurality of photographs of the person's face and neck from various angles;
• b) nonvolatile storage for storing said plurality of photographs and a lookup table;
• c) volatile memory;
• d) a computer processor configured to execute instructions on a computer readable medium for:
• 1) analyzing the plurality of photographs so as to identify a predefined set of features on the person's face and neck;
• 2) taking a plurality of measurements of the person's face and neck based on the set of features that were identified, including measuring an inclination of the person's forehead, a bizygomatic breadth and a width of each zygomatic arch;
• 3) calculating additional measurements based on the plurality of measurements, including a ratio of the bizygomatic breadth and the width of a zygomatic arch;
• 4) accessing the lookup table that includes multiple sets of measurements of a person's face and neck, and defines a correspondence between each set of measurements and a set of personality characteristics;
• 5) analyzing the lookup table to identify a set of measurements of the multiple sets of measurements that most closely match the plurality of measurements and the additional measurements, thereby identifying a matching set of measurements;
• and
• 6) generating a report that defines a set of personality characteristics in the lookup table that correspond to the matching set of measurements;
• and
• e) a display for displaying the report.
