I'm posting about VI Theory bs. I established a tentative link between two things in my tiny amount of research. Eyebrow and smile.
Five base options. Oh, and I'm not here to argue temperment theory, it just matches up really nicely with my personal theory.
Sanguine. Happy and generally easy going is the definition.
To VI, you'd look for a nice smile and upturned eyebrows. It should make a / \ shape based on theory.
Supine. Happy and aggressive. Typically also neat and orderly I'd honestly swap supine and sanguine's VI for the purpose of this all, but I'm going by their theory so I won't.
Supine has a nice smile, and a opposite \ / eyebrows.
>: ) Nice. Obligatory Woodman meme.
Probably Gandhi, though he had two expressions, so possibly supine-melancholy or phlegmatic.
Then there's phlegmatic. They generally are seen as unemotional and calm.
You'll typically have a null expression out of them, and their eyebrows stay at relax. You'll often confuse them with good poker players. Maybe they are, I don't know.

Choleric is our first unhappy type.
It's unhappy with the supine eyebrows. So they'll generally have a frown on their face.

Best example is Donald Trump but he's possibly mixed, and thus not true choleric.
Melancholy is also similar to sanguine.
/ \ + (
Best example is Einstein, but he'd likely be mixed phlegmatic.
Mixes exist, and make things much harder. So someone with no expression and has the sanguine/melancholy brow could be either.
Then you go and think of people with the most interesting eyebrows ever. ~ ~ What type is that?
So going by this, you can read the temperments in a person quite reliably in theory, but it's probably hard. There's probably exceptions, people who type wrong, and a 6th unknown temperment that looks similar to phlegmatic. I'm talking about clenched, where you're pushing the brows together. Moving on.
1. Smile/lack of smile tends to tell you if melancholy or what. I've done several tests, and I look phlegmatic and sanguine.
2. Direction of brow determines aggression. If you are pointed down in the traditional angry face, you have aggression. Opposite means no aggression. In phlegmatics case, you don't display any aggression at all.
3. People who change expressions often are probably mixed. Dominant is first expression. Then second expression.
For reference, I am phlegmatic-sanguine or phlegmatic-supine. Test I took gave me phlegmatic-sanguine, so good enough. When I smile, you either get sanguine or the halfsie phlegmatic-supine, so yeah. Fancy huh.
Oh yeah, expression can change, so try and get the person to be baseline when checking. That means photos lie. Guess what everybody does in a photo. Smile. Good right? Paintings don't work either, cause you'd not smile or frown in a painting because you want to take it seriously. It's why Mona Lisa is so remarkable.
So that's that. I'll be off, but I expect people will use this. Don't know for sure, but meh. My next goal is to apply this to Socionics VI or something like that. I'll be back, but for now, meh.
You know, that's a good thread name to get people real stocked about the stuff I'm talking about. Nice. The Fe is with us today.
