Josef Stalin mugshot

[Curtis24]

While I was reading Stalin's Wikipedia entry, I found these excellent profile shots of him. I've also supplemented them with a picture of him as a young man with a much thinner mustache, so its easier to see his maxilla. What's his typology?

[Vasconcelos]

Assassinoid.

[Curtis24]

Yes, he does look like a pretty mean guy, but that is to be expected.

[Pallantides]

He was quite a handsome man in his younger days, though he also have that charismatic and ruthless sociopath look to him.

Even as a young boy he looked evil:

Thanks for the additional pics!

Yes, its very interesting how you can accurately judge people's personality traits from their facial features. There have been a number of studies on this. Check this out:


Are voters truly sophisticated and rational decision makers? Apparently not. Their choices are heavily influenced by superficial, nonverbal cues, such as politicians' appearance, according to Christopher Olivola from University College London in the UK and Alexander Todorov from Princeton University in the US. According to their findings1, voters make judgments about politicians' competence based on their facial appearance and these appearance-based competence judgments reliably predict both voting decisions and election outcomes.

From an evolutionary perspective, this makes perfect sense - it would have been a big advantage to be able to figure out someone's personality in a few split seconds of looking at them, thus something heavily selected for.

[Mordid]

He look Mediterraneanid.

[Gamera]

He look Mediterraneanid.

I don't think so.

[kwp_wp]

Pontid-Armenoid

[Mordid]

I don't think so.

Why not ?

[Dr. van Winkle]

Stalin was Kaukasid/Mtebid and a racially pure Georgian.

[Padre Organtino]

Mtebid with a small Pontid influence. I look a bit like him but that's not very surprising given we are both Georgians.

[RoyBatty]

Effective inspirational leader. :thumb001:

[Arrow Cross]

Some most peculiar and remarkable features can be seen on this particular profile shot, wouldn't you agree?

I'm detecting a slight Turkmen admixture here... must be the angle of the nose.

[Sylvanus]

Soso was Armenid+Pontid with slightly Turanid influence.

Check her mother, Ketevan Geladze's eyeshape. By the way, the Dzhugashvili is ossetian name at least, coz the dzhuga means herder what is a so common occupation in this area, hence probably he wasn't "pure" georgian. :)

[Neanderthal]

Pontid + Armenoid.

[Raskolnikov]

Agree with Armenid + Pontid, dominance of the former.


Mtebid with a small Pontid influence. I look a bit like him but that's not very surprising given we are both Georgians.
You look Pontid-Armenid I think.

[Svartálfar]

Metbid/Turanid.

[Smeagol]

Caucasid-Armenid with Pontid, and Cromagnid influences.

[just]

Turanid + Armenoid.
You know, judging by his name he is a Jew.
(Whether he's Jewish or not he hated Jews somewhat.)

[armenianbodyhair]

Paranoid midgetoid

[just]

Stalin's real surname was Dzhugash, and it means 'Jew' in a Georgian language.
His all three wives are of a Jewish descent.

[aherne]

Looked very Turkish. Normal Georgian...

[Smeagol]

Stalin's real surname was Dzhugash, and it means 'Jew' in a Georgian language.

He was no jew.

[oh-nahhh]

Dinaro-Alpine.

Not Jewish.

[Neanderthal]

Dinaro-Alpine.

Not Jewish.

You know nothing about Jews, you can't handle the truth.

[bella1407]

Stalin's real surname was Dzhugash, and it means 'Jew' in a Georgian language.

Stalin's real surname was Dzhughashvili. Dzhugha doesn't mean "jew", because "jew" in Georgian language is "ebreli". Some said that "dzhugha" means "steel" in Georgian thats why he adopted the name Stalin ("stal" means "steel" in Russian).

His all three wives are of a Jewish descent.

Ekaterina Svanidze - "Svanidze" -georgian
Nadezhda Alliluyeva- "Alliluyeva" sounds tatar.
Who was his 3rd wife?

[oh-nahhh]

You know nothing about Jews, you can't handle the truth.
There is no reason to believe he was jewish.

[Mehmet]

Looked very Turkish. Normal Georgian...

There's nothing Turkish in the look of that Atheist murderer. He just looks Caucasian.
There are people looking the same in Turkey; yes but they are Caucasus immigrants and not Turks.

[YeshAtid]

Mtebid
