FACE READING BACHELOR
Read faces: observe visible signals and check what they mean.
In the Bachelor, you learn to observe another person’s face systematically.
You separate the first impression from visible tension in the jaw, eyelids and mouth and check your assessment against the context.
The world believes the first facial expression. The Bachelor trains you to observe and check before you judge.
WHAT YOU LEARN
You do not learn to judge people. You learn to read signals.
A face has an immediate impact. You learn to separate this first impression from what you can actually observe in the jaw, eyelids and mouth.
Appears confident
When a calm facial expression looks confident although its meaning has not yet been checked.
Appears warm
Whether relaxation is also visible in the jaw, eyelids and mouth.
Visible pressure
Whether clear tension is visible in the jaw, eyes or mouth.
Appears distant
Which visible signals look like distance. Only the context shows why they arise.
Appears calm
Whether a calm manner matches relaxed facial muscles.
Words and face
When what is said and the visible signal do not match.
You no longer treat the first impression as evidence. You give Hermes, your fact-checker, visible data and context.
YOUR OWN REACTION BEFORE ANOTHER PERSON’S MEANING
Why you must first recognise your own alarm.
When your body is already reporting alarm, your conscious mind can confuse your own reaction with the meaning of the other person’s face.
Alarm
Hera represents your rapid alarm system; the amygdala is involved. She reports danger before Hermes, your fact-checker supported by the prefrontal cortex, has checked the visible clues.
The first impression wins
A calm, warm or hard manner is believed more quickly than the face and context are checked.
Old experiences become involved
OS 1.0 – your old operating system, built for Stone Age alarm and familiar habits. It fills unclear signals with past danger and treats your own body’s reaction as evidence.
Train your own reaction
The Short Trainings help you recognise your body’s reaction earlier and practise a new conscious response.
Read the face
In the Bachelor, you then learn to observe visible tension in the other person’s face and check it against the context.
Only when you recognise your own reaction can you assess the other person’s face more precisely.
