Personality and Eye Shape (A 5 Point Guide)

In this article we will explore what your eye shape can reveal about your personality. This article will also discuss the different types of eye shapes and what personality traits are associated with them. 

What does your eye shape tell about your personality?

Your eyes may convey more about your personality than anything else!

The study of human character based on facial features is a very ancient practice. It is especially significant in the Chinese culture and was also taught as a subject at universities known as ‘Physiognomy’ in the 16th century. Later on it came to be known as ‘Morphopsychology’.

Now if you observe the human face carefully, you may notice that the eyes are the most telling feature of all, which means that they are most likely to betray you. Whatever you try to conceal, will inevitably become visible in your eyes, whether it be love or malice. So I would advise you to watch out my friend, for those pesky eyes of yours, may reveal a little way too much about you.

  • Large or Small
  • Round or Almond Shaped
  • Wide-set or Close-set
  • Deep-set or Prominent
  • Upward or Downward Slanted

These are the main eye shape features. Now let’s explore what each of these features signify. If you also want to assess your own eye shape then you might want to grab a mirror!

Large Eyes

If eyes are considered the windows of the soul, then does having large eyes simply mean you have larger windows? Larger windows to look in or more precisely peek into your inner world? 

It might as well be true. 

These people have emotions that run deep and they are most likely to trust people too easily. Their overly trusting nature may even land them into trouble.

It is common knowledge that people with larger eyes tend to be more open and expressive. They are passionate and creative individuals who are also known to be empathetic. They lead emotion centered lives and choose to act from the heart rather than from the mind.

Small Eyes

People with small eyes are all about pragmatism and making calculated decisions. They tend to employ logic and disregard emotion when making decisions. When these people set a goal they pursue it with tunnel vision. Their analytical lens gives them unparalleled intelligence and the ability to solve even the most complicated of problems with ease. A common misconception about these people is that they are cold fish, which is definitely not the case; it’s just that they choose to not be led by emotions. They may also come off as unapproachable because they may seem a bit skeptical. People with small eyes also have an eye for detail and are relatively more detail oriented than other people.

Round eyes

Since round eyes are similar to large eyes, it is safe to say that people with round eyes are also creative and fueled by passion.

A round-eyed person would be highly likely to be the kind that wears their heart on their sleeve. They may also have a flair for the dramatic.
