Your Eye Color Could Influence Your Personality, Often Overlooked
Eyes are the windows to the soul. You've probably heard this famous saying before, haven't you? It got us thinking - is it really true? Many researchers have dedicated themselves to this question, and the results are astonishing: there seems to be a connection between personality traits and eye color.
Extensive Research
There have been numerous studies on eye color. One of the more well-known studies took place in 2007 at Orebro University in Sweden. In this study, 430 individuals were closely examined.
So, what exactly was investigated? Analysts noted the eye color, different shades, and tried to find a correlation with their subjects' personalities. What did this research discover?
Fascinating Connection
The research team concluded that there was definitely a connection, mainly related to genetics. It turned out that the DNA strands that determine eye color are closely linked to the development of the frontal lobe of the brain.
And this part of the brain is responsible for the development of a person's character. So, there is indeed a fascinating connection in this area.
Remarkable!
Since then, other researchers have also delved into this topic. New theories have been proposed time and again. After hearing them, you too will pay closer attention to eye color!
The majority of people have brown or dark eyes - a staggering 70%, according to the South West Londoner website. There apparently are six categories with different shades that reflect in one's character. Let's take a closer look at them.
Brown and Dark
Let's start with the eye color that the majority of people have - brown. Did you know that, according to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, no shade is older than dark brown? So, apparently, this shade has been around for a long time.
The journal "Current Psychology" examined this color more closely and found that people with this eye color are particularly empathetic. Additionally, this eye color is associated with being easy-going.
"Natural Leaders"
This is also connected to the fact that people with brown eyes are considered "natural leaders." Their friends readily accept this, especially because of the high level of empathy they possess.
You're probably thinking about leaders of different countries now, checking their eye color, aren't you? Do they fit this description precisely, or perhaps this even applies to you? We naturally have further analyses.
Spiritual
An astrologer named Inbaal Honigman offered an alternative perspective - she describes herself as an "esoteric color expert." Her alternative viewpoint suggests that the color brown has a particularly spiritual meaning.
She collaborated with the English contact lens company "Lenstore" to conduct her own analysis. Honigman goes into further detail in an interview with the British newspaper "The Daily Express" in March 2022.
"Trustworthy and Reliable"
She said, "Brown is the color of the earth, which can be associated with stability and a 'happy home.' People with this eye color usually have stable relationships and a structured daily life.
Others will feel a sense of security when they look into brown eyes. It's a trustworthy person that one can rely on." However, one opinion does not contradict the other. The natural leader somehow also hides within Honigman's statement.
Green Eyes
Green eyes are already very rare, which also caught the attention of the "International Journal of Indian Psychology." They delved into this topic and, at the end of the project, found that people with green eyes are perceived as particularly attractive.
That can make one quite envious. Does another proverb come to mind - green with envy? Despite this statement, there are, of course, other characteristics that can be associated with green eyes.
Inventive and Mischievous
Yes, according to the experts' analysis, there are still more traits. People with green eyes seem to have a particularly mischievous side. This also includes being especially inventive. That is a valuable character trait.
Furthermore, it is believed that individuals with green eyes tend to remain relatively calm. No matter how dramatic the surroundings are, green eyes stay serene without significant fluctuations. But that's still not all.
Alluring?
Apparently, researchers have found that some individuals find the eye color mysterious and, therefore, are particularly cautious. Have you ever noticed that? However, Honigman does not share this view.
She believes that the mysterious eyes can even be alluring. On a spiritual level, green eyes are "connected to the air." How do you see these theories? Do you find green eyes more alluring or not?
Good Communication
When Honigman spoke with "The Daily Express," she said, "People with green eyes communicate very well and are often intellectual. When we see green eyes, we are immediately drawn to long conversations or a night of partying." Lenstore also provided a comment and recommended buying green contact lenses.
Specialists from the company told the newspaper, "Green contact lenses also help on a first date, as the partner is immediately interested." This is a trick that you should definitely remember. We would like to know if this trick really works.
Gray Eyes
So, what is there to say about gray eyes? It is definitely the most unusual color of them all. Spotting someone with gray eyes is like finding a needle in a haystack. Despite its rarity, there is a connection.
The gray iris is a variation of blue eyes. The gray color is related to additional melanin, which turns the blue into a shade of gray. So, what personality traits can be associated with it?
A Good Balance
According to "South West Londoner," people with gray eyes are seen as the center of attention in social or public gatherings. "This is due to their balance and the wide range of their emotions," explains the website.
In terms of emotions, it can also be added that people with gray eyes have good self-control. They are capable of focusing for extended periods and have a strong drive, which includes a good work ethic.
Blue Eyes
First, the question arises - where do blue eyes come from? Denmark's University of Copenhagen found that it was a genetic mutation in Europe. According to the "Daily Express," this happened about 10,000 years ago.
The production of brown melanin in the iris failed, and blue emerged. But the Danish university delved even deeper into the blue eye color and focused on the perception of blue-eyed people.
Negative Perception
The research revealed that blue eyes are often associated with arrogance and callousness, as well as a lack of empathy. But there must also be something positive, right?
Honigman once again offers a different analysis of the facts. She said, "Blue eyes evoke the water element. So, the color suits the sea, romance, and destiny. People with this eye color are emotional and spiritual."
Lenstore's Perspective on Diverse Opinions
Lenstore, in an English newspaper, shares its viewpoint on the varying opinions surrounding eye colors.
The company states, "Choosing blue contact lenses can be a great way for someone to rekindle a romance or sustain a romantic relationship for longer." Earlier, we discussed a 2005 project that linked different colors to personality traits.
Children with Blue Eyes
Interestingly, children were also part of this research project, and significant findings emerged. It was discovered that children with blue eyes tend to be more reserved when spending time in a group.
This behavior could contribute to the stereotype we discussed earlier—the enigmatic eyes. Genetics truly is fascinating, don't you think? Next, let's delve into amber eyes. Have you ever met someone with amber eyes?
Amber Eyes
Introducing the fifth color, which lies between green and brown and exudes a golden gleam. The website "Icy Tales" has explored this color in depth. Apparently, individuals with amber eyes have a strong sense of self-awareness and tend to focus on the future.
Moreover, others feel comfortable in their presence. They possess empathy and can anticipate problems before they are even voiced. These are truly exceptional qualities, wouldn't you agree? "Icy Tales" also highlights their positive outlook on life.
The Last Color
The final color we discuss in this article is hazel. To accurately define this shade, an eye doctor in Washington describes hazel eyes as a blend of green and brown on his website.
Individuals with this eye color were captured by a reporter from "South West Londoner" and described as particularly independent. They exhibit extreme self-sufficiency and have no problems taking care of themselves, even from a young age.
Impulsivity
This independence is also evident during childhood. Children with hazel eyes quickly learn to navigate life on their own, which can be quite impressive. However, outside of self-sufficiency, this eye color is associated with impulsive actions.
Naturally, this trait can have both positive and negative implications. Confidence is not lacking in these individuals either. People often seek their support and draw confidence from them. Honesty is a priority for them.
