#Facialrecognition

Could a person’s face betray their darkest personality traits? A recent study featured in international news coverage, including a widely read article on Newsweek, has sparked lively debate with the claim that psychopathy and other so-called “dark triad” traits—narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy—can indeed be detected from someone’s facial appearance alone. Drawing insights from the latest scientific advances, the study challenges traditional notions about whether people can reliably spot dangerous or manipulative individuals by their looks—a topic with major implications for Thai society, given the importance placed on first impressions, face, and social harmony.
