Physiognomy or Face Reading is the practice of assessing a person's character or personality from their outer appearance - especially the face. The term can also refer to the general appearance of a person, object, or terrain without reference to its implied characteristics - as in the physiognomy of an individual plant or of a plant community. Physiognomy as a practice meets the contemporary definition of pseudoscience and it is so regarded among academic circles because of its unsupported claims; popular belief in the practice of physiognomy is nonetheless still widespread and modern advances in artificial intelligence have sparked renewed interest in the field of study.
