This eye-opening study uncovers how the smallest variations in your smile can spill big secrets about your personality. By analyzing specific facial muscle movements, especially in Duchenne smiles, researchers found connections to traits like aggression, trustworthiness, pride, and even conscientiousness. Observers were able to make more accurate judgments of someone's character from smiles than from neutral expressions. So next time you smile, know that you're showing more than just happiness-you're giving away clues to who you really are!
