Study Explains Why I Have Such Incredible Expertise in Accurately Judging Others

A new study reveals why I'm so sharp when it comes to labeling others. The report explains:

Rejection can make a person more intuitive. New research suggests individuals who have faced the cold shoulder can more easily spot phony people.

The ability to spot a fabricated smile, exhibited by test subjects who had suffered rejection, could be a relic of our past, the researchers said.

"This seems to be a skill we've acquired through evolution," said researcher Michael Bernstein, a doctoral student in social psychology at Miami University in Ohio. "Living in groups several hundreds of years ago was extremely important to survival. Being kicked out of the group was like death, so they became very good at reading facial expressions and social cues."

However, it appears that Americans of all levels of training have been able to spot these phoney smiles.
