Are you self-obsessed? Your eyebrows can tell the truth

There is no denying that eyebrows can make or break your whole look. But what if we told you that they can play a huge role in determining your personality as well? Yes, you read that right. Researchers have discovered that people who have a certain type of eyebrows are more likely to be self-obsessed or narcissist by nature. Do you fall into the category? Read to know more.
What does the study say?
A study, published in the Journal of Personality, mentions the research on Narcissism Personality Inventory (NPI), a test to assess narcissistic traits. The research was conducted on 39 participants who took the test and their photos were taken.
For each of those 39 people, 28 other individuals were asked to rate them from 1 to 8, ranging from not narcissistic to extremely narcissistic on the basis of their looks. To keep things simple, volunteers were asked to keep their expressions neutral.
The result
The researchers discovered that those with thicker and distinctive eyebrows were more likely to be rated self-obsessed. So, even though the bushy eyebrows might be in trend right now, it could also mean that you are narcissistic. According to the lead author of the study Dr Miranda Giacomin from the University of Toronto, “Narcissists seem to have more distinct eyebrows, thicker and denser.”
She further added that those who are self-absorbed tend to groom their eyebrows in a way to make them appear distinctive and easily recognisable by other people. This could be the reason why people still spend a lot of time grooming their eyebrows by waxing, tweezing or picking out the stray hair to keep them looking sharp.
How do eyebrows play such a crucial role
It is interesting to note that when researchers removed the eyebrows from pictures of the participants, the other group was not able to differentiate between self-absorbed people and their humble counterparts.
Moreover, when just the photos of the eyebrows were shown to the identifying group again, they could differentiate between narcissists and normal people again.
