See what Big 5 traits you are visually attracted to!

[squark]

@coeruleum You don't see a difference in their eyes and expressions? Only the face structure? That's interesting if true.

I see a lot of differences between the pictures, they look like different people I've known throughout my life. Idk, I moved a ton as a kid, on average once a year to a new place with new people so maybe I just developed the quickly-sizing-people up by the way they look skill because it's something I had to use so much. Doing the same with composite pictures doesn't seem that different.

I see different expressions but having a different expression doesn't make you a different person. The low emotional stability, low openness, and high agreeableness ones look physically ill to me based on their expressions and I think that's super unattractive. I don't think the composites quite look like real people though because they're too blurry. The High Agreeableness and Low Agreeableness males and High Conscientiousness and Low Conscientiousness females look the most different to me and the rest are distinguishable but still too annoyingly similar for my poor brain.

No one is saying that facial features are the only factors in what makes a person attractive, if that's what you're disagreeing with. 'Having a different expression doesn't make you a different person' actually yeah, it seems to indicate that you are different person. Appearances don't just exist in a vaccuum. There's plenty of science out there finding that people are suprisingly accurate on their character judgements, just from looking at physical appearances. VI on this website is living proof that there's similar facial expressions between similar types of people. The paper in the OP is another example.

People tend to have more than one facial expression though. I feel like a lot of these could be the same person at different times. Others, clearly not (like the High vs. Low Agreeableness males.)

It's possible. Imo there's a baseline facial expression that tends to represent a person's character pretty well. That baseline expression will change according to different situations and emotions, but even the way they react to those situations tends to fit with that character baseline.

The high openness eyes are one example of a facial trait I tend to see people either having consistently, or not having.

Also each of those composites were groups of people that had one particular trait especially low or high. Real-life people would probably show signs of all 5 traits (either high or low) - except the ones they're neutral on.

[Tonatiuh]

Baseline... yes.

[DirectorAbbie]

bottom cuter, top more attractive
both meh, bottom slightly better
top looks slightly happier, only difference
top less attractive
prefer bottom

So I like high agreeableness, slightly below-average conscientiousness, ambiverted, below-average emotional stability, and low openness.

[Olimpia]

This is cool


For the guys...

I liked: High Emotional Stability, High Extroversion, High Agreeableness
I disliked: Low Agreeableness, Low Extroversion, Low Emotional Stability

Overall confirms what I am into, though in real life I tend to also be into high openness.
But I am guessing that the men with high openness in this composition were mostly "intellectuals", which is not my general preference.


For the women...

I liked: High Openness
I disliked: Low Agreeableness

Pretty much true.

[Aramas]

The most immoral/destructive and fucked up dudes were the hottest to me. Figures.

Fucking A. Same here. Low everything except extroversion. That was the high one. I'm doomed.

[AndyW]

Went in blind with the first set of images.

With the female portraits, I had a definite preference for high agreeableness and high openness and perhaps a slight preference for low emotional stability and low conscientiousness. Extroversion I could take or leave. But my attraction to Delta NF girls is not news to me, lol.

More interesting to me was my opinion of the male portraits, I preferred low agreeableness and openness, and higher extroversion, conscientiousness and emotional stability. Maybe I feel more comfortable around my identical or mirror types when it comes to guys?

[Hot Scalding Gayser]

Fucking A. Same here. Low everything except extroversion. That was the high one. I'm doomed.

Hmm yeah. I don't think that I really want some immoral, destructive person- it's just I am so turned off by self-righteousness and pious virtue signaling that by comparison it is the more attractive option.

I clash with a group of people I call 'Heterosexual Angels.' I guess they're like you know, the Delta newsreporter people you see on tv or something? Or any very morally strict cop/judge type person I suppose.

[myresearch]

For females:

I strongly prefer High Openness over every other quality.

I prefer High Agreeableness over Low Agreeableness.
I slightly prefer Low Conscientiousness over High Conscientiousness.
I slightly prefer Low Extraversion over High Extraversion.
I don't have any preference regarding Emotional Stability scale.

For males:

I strongly prefer High Agreeableness over every other quality.

I slightly prefer Low Conscientiousness over High Conscientiousness.
I slightly prefer High Extraversion over Low Extraversion.
I slightly prefer Low Emotional Stability over High Emotional Stability (I kinda surprised myself, wasn't expecting this)
I don't have any preference regarding Openness scale.

[summerprincess]

I was most attracted to High extraversion, low conscientiousness, and both high and low emotional stability. I was definitely most strongly attracted to the high extraversion one

[Exodus]

I did the test and it was quite difficult for me to dicide.
My favorites ranked: "High Agreeableness" followed by "High Openness" and "High Conscientiousness".

Similar to me.

Primarily for the women:

I liked high agreeableness, low emotional stability, high openness. (all of which sound like ESE traits)

Both extremes of conscientiousness were unattractive to me.

Extraversion - either is fine.

[Cybernetic]

For the women I liked high everything, for the men it was High Agreeableness, Low Conscientiousness, Low Extraversion, High Emotional Stability, and Low Openness. High agreeableness stood out to me in the males.

[sbbds]

I liked the low emotional stability guy the best LOL.

Followed by high agreeableness.

They look IEI and SLE to me, respectively.

[gone]

I found High Agreeableness, Low Extraversion, Low Emotional Stability (!) and High Openness to be the most attractive in women. Very interesting, I suppose it aligns well with what I had previously thought.

[VenusRose]

I think I very much prefer high agreeableness on both of those sets.

No wonder I have been attracted to 9s...

[Samuel Leopold]

Among the pictures of the women I was most attracted to high agreeableness and high extroversion. What I find remarkable is how similar the group of faces in each figure is to each other, even as I understand that these faces are composites.

[Alomoes]

Those are just pictures of the same person with a slightly different expression. Garbage. I have litterally caught myself with a different expression in a similar manner.

In other words, I'm a superficial autist who cannot differentiate between them. They're all equally ugly.

To be fair though, when I took a test to decide if I could tell the emotions a person was feeling from their picture, I got litterally the same results as if I guessed. This was after multiple tries.

WAIT. If I look at it from far away (or in my case, without enlarging the photo), I can see it. I can see the colors. Quality. Loophole!

High openess. I like myself, apparently. Second pick is low extraversion.

Also, I know someone who looks like high concientious. Probably the case. She would also qualify for high neuroticism, although I'm probably the worst person to be around for someone who is incredibly conscientious. I scored a fat 0.

Lastly, high agreeableness seems to match the myth that people with non-parallel faces are better comedians. Hrrm.

[Nunki]

I looked at the men, since I'm attracted to males, and determined that the most attractive Big Five type to me is whatever you call:

High Agreeableness
Low Conscientiousness
High Extraversion
High Emotional Stability
Low Openness

[maniac]

i found attractive in men: high agreeableness, low conscientiousness, high extraversion, low emotional stability (shocker), low openness
the only women i found somewhat attractive were the high extroversion and high conscientiousness ones.

[Aylen]

I don't find these composites attractive but I know what I prefer (mostly).

50-80% openness
60-80% extroversion
35-55% agreeableness
40-70% conscientiousness
25-55% neuroticism

These are ranges I think I can reasonably deal with if I am living with the person.

[Hot Scalding Gayser]

Open-ness..... hmm not sure. On paper I would like High Open ness a lot better, irl I am probably drawn more to people with Low. Not really sure though.

Conscientiousness.... More into people that are chillax/spur of the moment and don't plan so much. As long as it doesn't go too overboard. The other way would feel like I was dating my mom. Ugh. I love her but YUCK.

Extroversion.... usually more into other introverts actually. Contrary to what some ppl have thought about me on this forum I don't usually trust 'life of the party' people and they are really douche-y to me and I don't really feel that compatible with them. I like affection tho.

Agreeableness... that is the cateogry where both of those descriptions sound horrible to me and I would be really turned off by both those types so somebody that is more in the middle would be great.

Neuroticism ... prefer low I guess as long as they weren't too dense. This is where I think opposites would probably attract better.

[The Reality Denialist]

This kind of asks for composites of all possible combinations. How capable of fracturing is your perception is going to be? Is it consistent among all combinations?

Anyway, one IEE classified me as kind of complex to understand what am I really about. This seems to be pretty much consensus of me. People are very perplexed of the first impressions I give and then knowing me.

[Aster]

This time when I looked at them, I sorted out low conscientiousness that I didn’t like, and high conscientiousness that I did like.


...I wonder what all this means....

[Anglas]

High agreeableness>low emotional stability > low extraversion
I find other faces unattractive

[Anglas]

Introverted psychos here i come

[The Reality Denialist]

based on traits:
Extroversion: I prefer introverted people in long term. It is easy to run hot headed intense interaction with extroverts but that becomes a problem later on.
Agreeableness: I have no clear opinion. No extremes, please.
Conscientiousness. No clear opinion although I like if daily stuff runs smooth.
Openness: I can open up people. Some sort of suggestibility.
Emotional stability: I have seen extremely neurotic people, please no. Extremely low: no thanks.

[cry]

High Openness

and mate of your choice is... grumpy impulsive ILI

[thegreenfaerie]

I like the 1st one best, upper left, for men. Who dat?

I consistently score-
O- Extremely high
C- Low end, though not extremely so, around 40, it always says "low" though, not average, rip
E- Usually low end, though not extremely so, usually between 30 and 40, one time I got 42 and was told to be "average", I recall I was feeling more social at this point in my life too
A- Upper low to average, usually about 50, often says low or average I believe. I find this one interesting for myself considering I'm INFP in MBTI. May give IEI as a typing for myself more weight
N- High

But yes, who is #1?

[thegreenfaerie]

I like the last dude too, 2nd choice/immediate draw. So first person I like is high agreeableness and 2nd person I like is low openness, lol interesting. I do not share either of these traits myself (see above post for my big 5).

Interesting. Now I want to see the post on Big 5 correlations and Socionics type Perhaps this supports the dual theory after all

[Number 9 large]

and mate of your choice is... grumpy impulsive ILI

ILI r probs one of the most conscientious types

[The Reality Denialist]

ILI r probs one of the most conscientious types

Yes but mainly in their devotion. They can totally disregard things that are not important to them. Just see Donald Triplett. Was he exceptionally good citizen without assistance in practical matters like schooling?

Donald triplettt is ILE dumbass

Or at LEAST LII

[The Reality Denialist]

Donald triplettt is ILE dumbass

Lol he is all about what Ni is you little IEI dandy.

[Protozoa]

Liked

High conscientiousness
High openness

[Sah Kel Plaisir]

I'm attracted to :


High Openess
High Consciousness
High Agreableness
Low Emotional Stability
Low Extraversion

Still unsure about my type but I'm leaning towards ILE/IEI/SEI . In Big Five I score RLUXX tho (with a huge preference for unstructured)
If RLOAI is INFJ that would suggest ILE ?

[Cataclysm]

None
