Determining Personality with shape of the Nose – Pick your nose

By KATE WIGHTON

BRITISH scientists have revealed the latest crime fighting weapon – noses. Authorities could soon be looking at people's hooters rather than their fingerprints to help work out their identity. Researchers say by looking at the distance between the eyes and the shape of the nose tip they have identified six different types of snout — Roman, Greek, Nubian, Hawk, Snub and Turned-up. Dr Adrian Evans, of the University of Bath, says: "Noses are easy to photograph and hard to conceal, so a system that recognises noses would work better with an uncooperative subject or for covert surveillance." Hooters could even foil credit card fraud. Scientist Prof Melvyn Smith adds: "A system could be installed at a cashpoint that secretly analyses the face of the person typing in the PIN." Here, face analysis expert Simon Brown, author of The Secrets Of Face Reading, reveals what your nose shape says about you.

Turned-up Famous example: Marilyn MonroeCute ... Marilyn Monroe's turned-up nose NOSE NOTES: Those with these types of cute, turned-up noses are mostly kind, optimistic and full of character. They usually have nurturing personalities and like to provide love and support for their friends and family. People with this nose type often have an endless enthusiasm for new things and experiences. Often a sign of the sexually adventurous but at the same time a person with a turned-up nose usually takes well to marriage.



Hawk Rebellious ... John Lennon and his hawk nose Famous example: John LennonNOSE NOTES: This type of person likes to carve their own path and rarely follows the crowd.

Greek Classic ... Nelson's Greek nose Famous example: Admiral Lord Nelson NOSE NOTES: A classic straight shape, this nose suggests someone who is inspirational, yet functional, and a skilled organiser.
