Not exactly Face Reading, but Eye Reading 👀: https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-things-that-reveal-our-personality/answer/John-Uke/log
Below is a lot information you can tell about a person based just on how their eyes move while they are speaking. And no, this isn’t the standard “if they are looking up/down/left/right…”

Direct Gaze with Seeing. These people look at you with very fixed eye contact while speaking, almost like they are reciting information from memory. On average they will be more traditional and weight decisions disproportionately based on laws and their past experiences. They tend to be very reliable people.
Direct Gaze without Seeing. These people look “zoned out” while speaking. They discover a lot of deeper truths about science and society. They curiously pursue information to answer questions, then stop at the answer. These people are also intuitive/abstract thinkers who are likely to try things out because it’s a “good idea” before there is supporting evidence. They want to see the big picture before the details.
Constant Motion without Seeing. These people’s eyes are moving around a lot, but they aren’t actually looking at anything in real life either. The eye movements are helping their brains forge connections. They are also intuitive/abstract thinkers, but are more spontaneously creative. They bounce from thing to thing a lot and can get sucked into tunnels of research forgetting where they started.
Constant Motion with Seeing. These people are actually looking at lots of things while speaking. They are likely to notice your eye color, the strangers in the room, and who farted. These people are often quick-witted. They live much more in the moment and weight their decisions more heavily with short-term information and enjoy sense-pleasure more than average.
This information is based on understandings of Jungian personality typography. While everybody does everything, if you start paying attention to people’s general patterns you will see these stereotypes are mostly true. It will be easy to read these eye movement patterns in half of people, but for the other half they are closer to being in-between types and are harder to identify.
How to Make This Useful
You can really re-visit and memorize the patterns above to help you a lot in interactions with people. Here are a few examples.
If they have a more direct kind of gaze they tend to speak with more accuracy, so you can take what they say more literally.
If their eyes move around a lot, you need to keep them entertained to hold their attention.
If you are an abstract thinker it’s good to brainstorm with a literal thinker to fact + reality check your ideas because what makes sense to you may not actually be real.
If you are a literal thinker it’s good to share your observations with abstract thinkers to check the validity of your claims about the patterns you are seeing (no such thing as ghosts, aliens on Earth, etc…)
If talking to an abstract thinker give the underlying patterns or big picture details first or else they will stop paying attention as they try to assume their own answers. Their brains go a->b->z
If talking to a concrete thinker start with lots of facts and physical + personal examples or else they might not trust/understand your conclusions.
The things people enjoy also reveal their personalities a lot, so there is a high correlation between jobs people do and their personalities. Something a little less known is that games reveal this as well - what kinds of games energize people, how people play them, etc… this is the field most of my research is being applied to where I’ve developed personality tests, educational articles, and videos on how to makes friends according to personality. If you like games, there’s also a recommendations app for games and friends based on personality psychology and machine learning. Check it out: GameTree Wiki (https://gametree.me/wiki/en/home/)
