You CAN judge a book by its cover!

Talking about cats, I have always been fascinated by the way my feline friends can smell a rat a mile away. And never you mind, I am talking about the two legged kind. I think it has something to do with their enhanced sensory ability that can "feel" the creepy of a character.

In much the same way I always secretly believed that I could too.

To my mystical dismay I just discovered research that say I do, that you can too, and from a photograph no less! According to an article in World Science there are several accurate deductions we can make, just by looking at a photo of somebody.

By judging things like self-esteem, extraversion and religiosity we are able to make conclusions that tell us more about "agreea­bleness, emo­tion­al sta­bil­ity, open­ness, lik­a­bil­ity, and lone­li­ness." And personally I have always found that from there it is just a hop, skip and a jump to guessing political affiliation, talent, passion and vocation.

But then I must confess the bond we share in spirit also help some time.
