Mirror, mirror on the wall…
Whether we want it or not, we all judge others. Within a second you form an opinion about someone you don’t know at all. That applies to the cashier in the supermarket, that new colleague or your handsome Tinder date. We think we can judge how intelligent someone is, or how reliable, on the basis of looks. It happens that our first impression is completely off, but the 7 things below really say something about someone’s personality. Good to know!
