First impressions are always WRONG says Princeton Uni

Your first impressions on meeting a new person are likely to be wrong, according to one leading scientist. The assumptions we make when meeting new people are based largely on their facial expressions and appearance, but this rarely matches up to their personality. And these hang-ups may spoil our chances of finding a life partner or landing the perfect job, according to Professor Alex Todorov, from Princeton University in New Jersey. Faces that look happy, even if they're not smiling, (left) are commonly rated as more trustworthy than faces that appear angry (right). First impressions are likely to be wrong as they are based on shallow assumptions about appearances, according to one leading expert.
