Finally they reach to the unbelievable conclusion that the 90% of our personality’s characteristics can be guessed just by looking at our footwear.
Experts, in order to reach this conclusion made 63 students analyze pictures of the shoes of 208 people, which had completed a form with their personal data. The observers were asked to indicate the sex, social class, age and the personality characteristics of the shoes owners. That takes to high percentage of success.
