The analytical physiognomy is the system of 64 psychological types according
to which physiognomy of a human face, and in particular asymmetry of the right
and left halves of a face is display of psychological parameters of a human
person, and corresponds with concepts of C. G. Jung's analytical psychology, socionics and
I. Brigs-Majers's typology. Basic feature of analytical physiognomy is
ordering of psychological types by means of 64 hexagrams of the canon of changes IChing
and by means of physiognomic images of psychological types which are constructed
according to hexagrams IChing, namely features of a human face in physiognomic
or visual images of psychological types correspond with 64 hexagrams and serial
numbers of hexagrams in the canon of changes IChing. Advantage of psychological
analyses in a context of analytical physiognomy is the opportunity of visual
identification of psychological types by means of universal analytical system
(identical to hexagrams IChing) according to which psychological parameters
(components) of a human person correspond to features (formal elements) a human
face.
Principles of analytical physiognomy consist in the following.
The left eye corresponds with the extraverted direction of a person and the
right eye corresponds with introverted direction of a person, namely if the left
eye is active then the man is extravert and if the right eye is active then the
man is introvert. Provided that an active eye is big also draws attention, and a
passive eye less open and less appreciable.
Rational mental functions (logics and ethics) correspond with the top sphere of
a face and particularly correspond with eyebrows which symbolize consciousness.
And irrational mental functions (sensorics and intuition) correspond with the
bottom sphere of a face and particularly correspond with corners of a mouth
which symbolize feelings. As rational functions are realized and irrational
functions are sensual.
Logic function corresponds with the right half of a face as in the greater
degree is individual, rather than adjacent ethical function which in the greater
degree is directed on understanding of processes of an external world. Namely
logic function corresponds with the right eyebrow and the right introverted half
of a face, and ethical function corresponds with the left eyebrow and the left
extraverted half of a face.
Similarly sensory function corresponds with the left half of a face as is
directed on sensation of subjects of an external world, and adjacent intuitive
function corresponds with the right half of a face as is abstract from subjects
of an external world. Namely sensory function corresponds with the left corner
of a mouth and the left extraverted half of a face, and intuitive function
corresponds with the right corner of a mouth and the right introverted half of a
face.
The listed ratio of components of human mentality with features of a human face
are displayed in physiognomic images of psychological types. Namely asymmetric
features of a face specify activity of one mental function and passivity of
adjacent mental function. Symmetric features of a face specify obvious and
unobvious adjacent mental functions.
For example, asymmetric eyebrows specify active logic function and passive
adjacent ethical function if the right eyebrow is active (has a tone) and the
left eyebrow is passive (has no tone). Or asymmetric eyebrows specify active
ethical function and passive adjacent logic function if the left eyebrow is
active and right eyebrow is passive. Symmetric eyebrows specify obvious logic
function and unobvious ethical function, or specify obvious ethical function and
unobvious logic function.
Physiognomic images of psychological types can be seen in
gallery on pages of this website in the
other section which has the name: the right
and left face where also there is more detailed information on ratio of
components of human mentality with features of a face and about ratio of 64
psychological types of analytical physiognomy with 64 hexagrams of the canon of
changes IChing.
The shown images in gallery are expedient
for using as conditional physiognomic images according to which psychological
types are systematized, but nevertheless conditional images are intended for
comparison with real faces of people and consequently it is necessary to analyze
features of a face and to identify attributes of activity/passivity or
obvious/unobvious of psychological components. For example, I bring to your
attention the physiognomic analysis which identifies psychological type in M. A. Wrubel's
self-portrait:
As it is possible to see in the self-portrait of M. A. Wrubel the left eyebrow is
raised in comparison with the right eyebrow that corresponds to active ethical
function and passive logic function. The right eye more appreciable also has the
greater size in comparison with the left eye that corresponds to active
introversion and passive extraversion. The left corner of a mouth and the right
corner of a mouth are symmetric, but as a whole corners of a mouth are passive
(has no tone)
that corresponds to obvious intuitive function and unobvious sensory function.
Look the information on ratio of features of a human face and psychological
parameters of a human person with attributes of obvious/unobvious or
active/passive mental functions on pages of this site in section which has the
name the right and left face.
In aggregate psychological parameters in M. A. Wrubel's self-portrait correspond
with the 58th hexagram IChing that corresponds to 58 psychological type in
system of 64 psychological types of analytical physiognomy. Namely the active
left eyebrow corresponds with the interrupted line on the sixth top position in hexagram,
the passive right eyebrow corresponds with the whole line on the fifth position,
the passive left eye corresponds with the whole line on the fourth position, the
active right eye corresponds with the interrupted line on the third position,
corners of a mouth corresponds with the whole lunes on the second and first
positions.
M. A. Wrubel's psychological type in a context of offered system of 64
psychological types corresponds with the 58th hexagram IChing, namely the active
left eyebrow specifies the interrupted line on the sixth top position in
hexagram IChing; the passive right eyebrow specifies the whole line on the fifth
position; the passive left eye specifies the whole line on the fourth position;
the active right eye specifies the interrupted line on the third position;
corners of a mouth specify the whole lines on the second and first positions.
Look the detailed information on conformity of features of a human face with
positions of lines in hexagrams IChing on pages of this website in section which
has the name the right and left face.
M. A. Wrubel's psychological type is the ethical introverted in a context of
analytical psychology of C. G. Jung, or otherwise it is possible to tell that M.
A. Wrubel's self-portrait represents features of a face according to which it is
possible to identify the man as the ethical introvert.
According to I. Brigs-Majers's typology the M. A. Wrubel's psychological type is
the
ethical intuitive rational introverted and is designated by letters IFNJ where
letters mean: I - introversion, F - ethical function, N - intuitive function, J
- rationality.
Look the detailed information on designations in C. G. Jung's analytical
psychology, in socionics and I. Brigs-Majers's typology on pages of this website in
section which has the name the right and
left face.
In system of 64 psychological types of analytical physiognomy it is possible to
see that intuitive and sensory functions are combined as the left and right
corners of a mouth are symmetric. Hence, psychological polarity of intuition and sensorics
is not inconsistent in personal characteristics of M. A. Wrubel that is not
considered possible in a context of analytical psychology of C. G. Jung, socionics and
I. Brigs-Majers's typology, because overlapping (mixture) of
psychological parameters is not considered. Therefore the system of 64
psychological types of analytical physiognomy is more adequate for
identification of types of a human person in comparison with others typologies
within the analytical psychology.
Namely the system of 64 psychological types is adequate for descriptions of all possible combinations according to which
psychological components are incorporated in a complex design
which a person of a man is.
The following page lists analogies of psychological types in analytical psychology of C. G. Jung, and also in socionics and typology of I. Brigs-Majers with 64 psychological types in analytical physiognomy.
