Guess the leader of the leader

Many people believe that the leader must have a general, a different appearance from ordinary people, styled to be born to bear.

Why does the Western prime minister or president have long faces? Because people tend to believe them, especially in difficult times. In fact, the research results show that the type of long-faced person is considered to be innate leaders, as if fate had decided they would be the ones to stand against the country.

Based on surveys, the height of the person with the long side is thought to be related to the times when our ancestors had to make wise choices to survive.'Our research results show that people tend to lean towards those who have the most dominant physical form when having to choose leaders, especially when we face some kind of threat,' the newspaper said. Independent quoted psychologist Daniel Re of St Andrews University (Scotland), who led the study.

For a long time, height is often related to success. In the last century, the taller of the two bipartisan candidates for the presidential election won. In a study published in Evolutionary Psychology, volunteers were asked to view photos on a computer screen, the faces of men and women who could intervene to look higher or more masculine.

Participants were then asked to use the computer to transform this picture into a face they wanted to be national leaders in peacetime and wartime. The results showed that when looking at potential "leaders", the average length of these people 's faces increased by 6% in men and remained constant in women. However, during wartime, face length increased sharply to 34.9% in women and 45.8% in men.

Of course, these assumptions about leadership qualities in people with long faces may be far removed from reality. While Tony Blair, the longest serving British Prime Minister after World War II, was 1.82m, his face was considered short compared to his whole body. And also the unusual height of Nicolas Sarkozy (if compared to other leaders). Mr. Sarkozy is only 1.65m tall, but he is still the president and captivating the super model supermodel wife . 1.75m.

For female politicians, the team thinks it's difficult to draw conclusions, because their hairstyle often makes the face look rounder.'Grandmother of steel' Margaret Thatcher has a pretty pregnant face, with a height of 1.67m. Among the most influential women in the 21st century, the Princess of Cambridge is a typical example of a person with a round face but up to 1.72m, equal to the average height of a Western man. . It seems that in women, face-based leadership choices do not seem to be an appropriate suggestion.
