Just Look for Face Value

   In your face. If Naomi Tickle wants to know anything about you, that’s where she looks.

   As a child in England, Tickle was fascinated by the correlation between people’s faces and their behavior. When she shared these observations with her mother, she was told she was just imagining things.

   So, she put away her childish thoughts until they were rekindled in the 1980s while she was living in California. Tickle came across a face-reading system that Edward Jones, a federal court judge, researched from the 1930s to the 1960s. The results of a formal study on 1,068 subjects in the late 1960s indicated 92 percent accuracy for personality assessment using this face reading technique. 

   Through further research, Tickle discovered that back in 1943, face-reading consultants conducted a study on a freshman Air Force class to determine who would stay in the course and, if they did, what type of aircraft would best suit them. That study revealed 97 percent accuracy. 

   Some saw face reading as just another fad, but for Tickle, it became a career. Now the President of Face Language International, she travels the world conducting workshops on the basics of “face value.” 

   “Face reading is used for jury selection, sales training programs, career assessment, personal relationships, recruiting, working with children, personal development and communications,” Tickle said. “To back up these findings, my husband created a computer program for determining careers based on facial features.

   “It lists profiles based on client interviews and data from a U.S. Department of Labor publication called ‘The Dictionary of Occupational Titles.’ Our feedback indicates that our profiles are at least 90 percent accurate.” 
While doing my own research, I asked Chief Magistrate Warren Davis if he was familiar with face reading. 

   The judge said: “I am not familiar with this particular author or her work. However, I am familiar with similar concepts by different authors. The techniques do have validity in the hands of an experienced and trained observer.” 

   Tickle has more than 25 years of experience. She’s been a guest on BBC, CNN, NBC and “Good Morning America” and has been featured in major publications. 
At 8:30 a.m. Feb. 28, she will share her face reading skills over breakfast at a Cross County Networking gathering at Carl House in Carl (just beyond the Gwinnett-Barrow border on U.S. Highway 29).

   How accurate are her readings? A few months ago, when I attended her workshop, I bought her book and received a complimentary face reading. Tickle knew absolutely nothing about me. When she looked at my face, she stroked my forehead and said: “Information, information, information. You love to gather and share information.” 

   Is she good? You be the judge. For more information, call 770-586-0095 or visit www.carlhouse.com or www.thefacereader.com .
