You can "SNIFF out someone's personality in
a SNAP. The four first impression factors are credibility, likability,
attractiveness and power.
New research says that you can
use your sense of smell to tell if someone isn't nice. A new study in the Journal
of Nonverbal Behavior, reveals that self-centered or domineering
people (those high on power) have higher levels of stress hormones --- and
that those hormones emit a unique scent that is detected by your lymbic and
subconsciously alerts us to their true personality! Thus if you get a gut
feeling that someone isn't nice, it may be our sense of smell that's identifying
that personality trait for you. So don't leave your house if you have a
cold.
