Physiognomy is the pseudoscience of determining a person's character or personality traits based on their facial features. Face reading is the practice of analyzing a person's character or future by studying their facial features, expressions, and overall appearance. While both concepts involve reading faces, physiognomy is considered more of a speculative practice, whereas face reading may have cultural or traditional roots in some societies.

In Montaigne's essay "Of Physiognomy," he criticizes the belief that physical appearance can reveal a person's character or destiny. Montaigne argues that one's character is complex and cannot be accurately judged based on outward appearances. He emphasizes the importance of understanding individuals as unique and multi-dimensional beings.

Physiognomy has been used for several different reasons. It was originally developed while psychology was developing as a study of human behavior and pschoanalysis. In China, Mian Xiang was used to determine someone's personality and fortune through analysis of their faces. Today, it's used by AT&T during job interviews to try to get a sense of whether or not somebody would make a good employee based on their face. It is also used in dating because research has shown associations between testosterone and estrogen levels and facial structure. Mac Fulfur has recently become famous for his use of physiognomy in selecting individuals for juries.

The practice of assessing a person's character from their outer appearance, especially facial characteristics, is known as physiognomy. This concept suggests that certain facial features or expressions can reveal inner traits or qualities of an individual. However, it is important to note that physiognomy has been widely discredited as a pseudoscience and is not considered a reliable method for judging someone's character.
