Physiognomy Analysis: Jon Zherka | Face Reading, Psychology, & Rizz
FULL TRANSCRIPT
Hello everybody and welcome back to
another celebrity face reading. My name
is Taylor G Northcut. I'm a professional
facial analyst and physiogamist, which
means that I look at people's appearance
and especially their face in order to
discern their character, personality,
mental health, and other things about
them. And today I will be analyzing none
other than John Zurka. Now, he's a
pretty big live streamer. He's sort of
in the manosphere adjacent to Myron
Gaines, Andrew Tate. And I've gotten
some requests to analyze this guy
before, but I had kind of put it on the
back burner until he himself requested
it under my Carl Jung video. So, Zerka,
at your request, here it is. Your face
reading. What does your appearance say
about your personality? What is your
temperament, your archetype? What kind
of impression do you give to people?
We're going to answer all that and more
on today's physio analysis. Now, before
we get into his personality proper, I
want to look at his phenotype, which is
the physical expression of his genetic
ancestry and heritage. Now, of course,
John Zurka is Albanian. However, he is
converted to Christianity from Islam.
God bless him. Mashallah. That's a great
thing. And he has some typically
Albanian traits. Long nose, kind of
shorter skull, tall, beefy, a little
dark. And so, you might type him as the
most typically Albanian and Balkan on
the whole type, which is dinarid. And
while he certainly has some dinared
traits mixed in there, I would say that
that's probably not his main type. He
looks less like a mountain Albanian,
more like a coastal Albanian. Less gagg
more tok specifically. I would say that
he is a good example of the ponted
phenotype, which is a subtype of the
Mediterranean phenotype. He's moderately
robust in some aspects, but he has some
definitely gray refined features,
especially on his eyes there. Very much
typical of that ponted type, which is
the main Mediterranean type of the
Eastern Mediterranean and especially of
the Black Sea. So this is why to my eye
he looks a little less Albanian and more
Greek, Bulgarian, maybe even Turkish.
Very lural, very coastal, much more a
fishing village balconoid than a
mountain goat herder bulanoid. All
right, with his phenotype established,
we're going to now get into his
personality proper. We're going to start
with his side profile, which will tell
us about his temperament and inborn
characteristics. Now, based on the
images I have been able to find, I can
see for sure a slanted receding
forehead, a strong protruding kind of
square chin. And when taken in
combination with those reddish skin
undertones and that quite muscular,
robust, messomorphic body type, we can
see that he's a pretty clear sanguin on
the whole. The sanguin temperament is
one that thinks, plans, and acts in the
short term. They are impulsive,
impatient, very in the body, muscle
coordinated. They're enthusiastic and
optimistic. They love to have fun and
they love to be at the center of
attention. You find that sanguins are
oftenimes over represented in the
military. Less so among the generals and
more so among the grunts as well as
among celebrities on the whole,
especially among actors and athletes.
However, I'm not entirely sure that
Zurka is a pure sanguin. Look at his
jawline. It's pretty strong and pretty
pronounced, but I don't think it has
that perfect 90° right angle there. It
looks more like an obtuse angle. This is
not the sanguin jawline, but this is
rather the jawline of the collaric
temperament. Now, in face reading, the
jawline tells us about someone's
long-term energy of action. The front of
the side profile, especially the chin,
tells us about how someone presents
themselves intellectually and in action.
But then you go back to that jawline,
that tells us more about their long-term
vibe, how they are once you get to know
them and how they complete projects
after having started them. So with this
in mind, we can say that while on the
whole Zirka is very confident, sanguin,
outgoing, enthusiastic, optimistic,
fun-loving, impatient, impulsive, in the
long term, once you get to know him kind
of behind the scenes, he's a lot more
collic, more serious, hardworking,
focused, and this is actually kind of an
ideal combination for work and
especially for live streaming because
while you have the face, the initial
presentation of the sanguin, which is
very charismatic, fun, enjoyable,
likable, great in front of a camera. You
also have the long-term energy of the
sanguin that can endure for the long
term, that can run the marathon and not
just the sprint. A friend and associate
of John Zirka who has the same side
profile combination sanguin with a
collar jalen would be Nick Fuentes. And
Nick Fuentes is a good example of the
dark side, the downside of this
combination that I don't see too much
with Zurka publicly, but I think you
might see it in his private life, which
is that when Nick Fuentes meets someone
for the first time, he's very
enthusiastic, very happy to know them.
He loves them. He's very generous. But
then over time, he gets more austere,
clammed up, more serious. He thinks more
so, eh, I want to focus on my work more.
And I would suspect that this is how
Zurka is when the cameras are off, when
the girls are away, when he's with
people that he's comfortable with and
has known for a long time and he's sort
of in the middle of things he's been
working on for a while. I would imagine
he's a lot more collic, a lot more
serious, focused on work. I think he
puts away the fun and games after a
while. All right, with the foundation of
his personality, that is his temperament
established, we are now going to start
looking at the broad strokes of his main
personality and the archetype that he
fulfills. We're going to be able to tell
this from his face shape. Now, he's got
a very interesting face shape. This is a
good case study because his face shape
has a lot of competing, almost
contrasting elements going on there.
Now, first off, there's a very long,
narrow triangular element there. This
triangular shape is the Mercury face
shape, and that stands for the sensitive
magician archetype. Now, Mercury was the
god of communication, and as such,
Mercuryfaced people with that long
triangular narrow face are great
communicators. They are witty, charming,
funny, humorous, quick thinkinkers,
great on the spot. A lot of the best
comedians, actors, musicians are all
Mercuryfaced people. And so, as an
entertainer, as a public figure, this is
a great face shape for him to have. But
there's kind of a downside to it, which
is that the Mercury face is reliant on
outside validation. They need that good
feedback from people in order to feel
fulfilled and valid as people. In
addition, they can also be quite
reactive, maybe a little hyper sensitive
at times. And so, as a result, this
triangular mercurial element is an
interesting contrast with his sanguin
temperament. And if it was the only
archetype that he was working with, I
would suspect that there would be a very
strong contrast, maybe even some
personal instability there. But I think
these two elements are sort of buffered
by the other face shape elements there.
We can see that his face is not purely
mercurial. It's not just pointy and
triangular and narrow. It's also robust
and blocky, strong chin and jaw, square
forehead. It has an overall hexagonal
shape. This is the Pluto face shape and
it stands for the loyal guardian
archetype. Now Pluto is a sort of
offshoot of Mars archetypally speaking.
So like the Mars archetype, like the
warrior archetype, Plutoface people are
very aggressive, willful, warlike, very
generous and bold. They hate and love
with equal intensity but unlike the Mars
type they are quite loyal and enduring
and they can stick to principles or to
relationships in the long term. So this
face shape actually complements his main
temperament sang with the collar jawin
quite well mostly sanguin very
aggressive outgoing enduring bold but
with an underlying energy of action in
the long term that is capable of
enduring and being loyal and committed.
Now in addition to this there is also a
third that is a tertiary face shape
element there as well. Look at his broad
forehead that kind of slopes down and
out towards a somewhat broader lower
face and jaw. This is a reverse
trapezoid shape and it stands for the
Jupiter archetype also known as the
jovial judge archetype. Now this means
that in addition to the big picture
being mostly Mercury combined with
Pluto. So we have sensitive, good
communicator but also very strong, bold,
courageous, loyal, we have an additional
third element here that is going to
emphasize the more humorous jolly side
of both types. A lot of positivity, joy,
joviality. The word jovial comes from jo
which is a nickname for Jupiter. So it
comes from this archetypal system
originally. He's going to be friendly,
boisterous, big, loud, outgoing. The
other side of this, the other side of
the Jupiter archetype there is that he's
going to be a bit overbearing, very
moralistic, self-righteous. Jupiterface
people are very interested in justice,
righteousness, right and wrong moral
systems. This is why it's called the
judge archetype. Now, what's interesting
to me is that if we sort of exclude that
Plutonian element there and just think
of him as Mercury plus Jupiter, this is
a combination archetype that I've
noticed before in people like Rodney
Dangerfield, you have Jovian, joviality,
this outgoing, boisterous, big man sort
of energy combined with this mercurial
sensitivity. It's a very interesting
contrast. They're almost exact opposites
and I think that's a very interesting
fascinating thing there. This is an
archetype that I have called the ring
master. It's magician plus judge because
it's sort of this big outgoing humorous
type who wants to sort of bring everyone
together. That's a very jovian thing.
Jupiter is the biggest planet and so
it's orbited by a bunch of moons and
Jupiter is the king of the gods. So he's
orbited by his sort of court of gods and
demigods. But it's combined this with
this mercurial sensitivity humor with
this need for outside validation. And so
I call it the ring master because these
people tend to create a sort of circus
around them. And we see that Zurka has
his own circus of only fans thoughts and
other podcasters. And he sort of treats
Miami as his own personal circus where
he invites people in to entertain them,
put on a big show for everyone, and just
make everyone happy, be the center of
attention. So great overall archetype
for a streamer for sure. All right, with
the big picture, the broad strokes of
his personality established, we're now
going to fill in some of the finer
details by looking at his facial
features. Now, we're going to start from
the top with his eyebrows. They're very
long, which means that in contrast to
his more impatient, impulsive elements
there on the sanguin side, he does like
to plan ahead. He's rather premeditated.
He's very calculating with his stuff. I
don't think he does that much really on
the fly. He likes to, but really it's
calculated ahead of time. There's not
too much rapid instinct there. However,
they are low set, which means that he's
quick to judge, quick to assess, rather
judgmental. He doesn't require a ton of
time in order to assess information. He
doesn't need all the facts, and he
doesn't take a long time to consider it.
He just looks at something, he assesses
it, he assesses the situation, and then
he acts on it. Although, I would say
that with those longer eyebrows being
both long and lent, I think that
combination there is going to look like
him rapidly assessing a situation. what
the factors at play are and then taking
a while to come up with a plan for it. I
think this might express itself in the
way that he rises up these Miami girls.
They are also quite flat across his brow
which means he is very stubborn and
there's a noticeable asymmetry here. Now
in face read and physiography and this
is a universal thing in both China and
the west. The facial asymmetry shows us
an asymmetry in the soul. The left side
tells us about someone's true self,
their private self, who they came into
the world as. And the right side tells
us about someone's public self, their
persona, who they project as, the mask
that they wear for the world. And we can
see that his left eyebrow is noticeably
more arched. It's straighter. This shows
that in private and by nature, he's more
logical, calculating, uh, commanding,
competitive, a little more jealous,
wants to be the best, and thinks more
logically. But the right eyebrow is
noticeably more curved. It's softer,
even a little more feminine, maybe. This
means that in public he projects as
being much more consensus oriented,
caring much more about the feelings of
other people and the group harmony than
he might by nature. Now, we're going to
move down to his eyes. Now, this was a
very interesting part for me because it
was so hard to find pictures of his eyes
because he's one of these sunglasses
indoors kind of guys. Now, why is that?
It looks cool. Yeah, but this is
generally something you see with people
who are insecure about their eyes. Look
at Casey and Neistat. I mean, everything
he does, he's got those sunglasses on.
Why? Cuz he has weird caveman eyes. And
is this the case with Zirka? Does he
have really weird looking off-putting
eyes? Well, no. But I think what's going
on here is that the eyes are the windows
to the soul. And he does not want you to
see that. He is putting shutters or
blinds over his soul because he doesn't
want to reveal what's really going on
there. And what is going on there? Well,
I think it contrasts with this mainly
sanguin energy he has. He really wants
to play that up. He really wants to be
Jovian Plutonian Sanguin, just a big
happy Chad. But his eyes betray that.
Look at him. First off, they are close
set. This is the main thing that I think
he might think is ugly or unattractive.
But in face reading, close set eyes
simply mean that someone is very
nitpicky, meticulous, detail focused
with a high disgust impulse. I think
this is reflected in him having a rather
cynical view of women and dating. He's
very capable of seeing all the problems
in people and in relationships in
society and so he can take the whole
thing apart mentally with those close-
set eyes. I think this also helps him
with his rising because he can identify
how to talk to a girl, what the angle is
with that. So very calculating, very
focused, very detail- oriented. They're
also quite deep set. This is going to
emphasize that aspect as well. Very
calculating, withdrawn, thinks before he
speaks. So this again goes with the long
eyebrows, likes to plan ahead. So he's
very quick to assess, quick to take in
information, but when it comes to
planning to doing, I don't think there's
too much impulsivity, too much instinct.
I think you see a lot of calculation and
real thorough thought and planning. Now,
in some of the pictures from his past,
it seems like he had a bit of a negative
can tilt. This would have meant that he
was kind of a people pleaser wanting to
put the interests of others over his own
or at the very least naturally did so.
It seems like this might have receded a
bit today. His cample is a bit more
positive meaning that he has become more
assertive, confident, bold, rebellious
over time. Another thing is that
although his eyes are deep set, he has
quite full upper eyelids. This shows a
strong need for intimacy and closeness
in relationships. I think this is why
his thing is so oriented towards
relationships, dating, romance, because
that's something that draws him in.
Those full upper eyelids, very romantic.
Sydney Sweeney has those. And lastly,
but certainly not least, you can see
that his left eyelid is noticeably more
droopy than the right. The eye as a
whole, it droops down. You see this on
the left eye a lot in people who have
some sort of dark secret hidden on the
private side or especially some sort of
childhood trauma, some sort of bad event
in their past that they are shying away
from. It's either some sort of dark
secret or some sort of childhood trauma
that he is subconsciously shying away
from. He doesn't want to look at that in
on his left side, which is his past. All
right. Next up, we've got his ears,
which tell us about how he relates to
other people, how he listens to other
people. Now, they're actually rather
close set, which means that he's not
super independent, rebellious,
non-conformist. I would say that he is a
conformist of sorts. He wants to fit in
with the mainstream. He wants to sort of
be within that hierarchy and climate. He
probably also has a strong connection
with his relationships, family, friends,
able to rely on those, not independent
to a fault. And this is further
emphasized by the fact that his ears
bulge in the middle third which shows a
strong interest in social and emotional
pursuits and interests. His ears are
also quite high set which is
interesting. Most people I look at they
have low set ears. He has very high set
ears which is again emphasizing this
ability to take in information rapidly.
He takes in information very rapidly
very quick to acquire almost animalistic
in that instinct. And he approaches
project with a a mindset of do it now.
So there's sort of this paradox between
this calculation, this long-term
thinking, and this very rapid sensing
instinct here. Next, we come to his
nose. His nose is pretty good nose. It's
medium in length, about average for a
ponted or dinard, showing a balance
between deep thought and quick action in
his disposition. The bridge is rather
wide, which is good. Shows strong energy
and stamina, but it seems like it has a
bump, which would indicate some
sensitivity and even reactivity under
pressure. might get a little hot under
the collar when the heat is on him. Next
up to his mouth, super full lips. Now,
each lip is going to stand for something
different. The very full lower lip. It's
incredibly full that shows a very strong
sense of self. He's super in his
feelings, very in touch with his own
inner worlds of thoughts, feelings,
morals, desires, and beliefs. There is
an alternate explanation for this as
well or interpretation from Chinese face
reading which would mean that this
overly full lower lip shows intestinal
issues especially with the large
intestine. So if you've got digestive or
intestinal issues that might be being
shown there but I do western face
reading not really Chinese face reading.
So as I see it this is a strong sense of
self really in your own feelings. But
the upper lip is also quite full. This
means that he is quite open and
expressive, candid with his own
feelings. You don't need to earn a ton
of trust for him to tell you what he
really thinks and feels. So although he
is somewhat calculated and withdrawn and
thinks before he speaks, he kind of
plans out how he wants to say something,
the actual things he's saying,
especially when it comes to beliefs and
thoughts and feelings, I say they're
pretty genuine. You know, I don't see
him as a super deceptive or lying
person. You don't see too many people in
politics with a full upper lip. They
almost always have a very thin upper
lip. That's because in order to make an
impulse, you have to be a liar. You have
to kind of hide your power level or your
true beliefs or what you're really
after. His upper lip also kind of lacks
a prominent cupid's bow, which that wide
and low arch upper lip shape is the sun
upper lip. That is going to show that
his communication style, while it is
very candid and open, it's going to be a
little cold, distant, maybe even harsh
or blunt. I watched a couple videos
while researching this to try and get
some better pictures of him and it seems
like that's kind of his style. It's very
direct to the point. There's not much
weasling around. It's not super warm or
seductive. It's just very
straightforward, open, bold, and that's
how his RZ works. Lastly, we are going
to take a look at his asymmetry in
detail, which is going to tell us about
his inner self and his outer self, who
he really is, and the mask he puts on
for the camera and for the world. Now,
we're going to make composits of two of
his left sides and two of his right
sides and then compare them to show uh
who he is on the inside and who he is on
the outside. We're going to start with
the left side, his true self, who Zurka
started out as. We can see that the face
is much narrower pointier, more
mercurial, very sensitive, reactive. The
eyes are also very close set. So, by
nature, he's very nitpicky, focused,
very intellectual. So, I can really see
Zurka by nature as being kind of a nerd.
Honestly, he is sanguin and that's
inborn and underlying. So, he's always
had this confident, you could call it a
meatthead sort of energy. But on the
whole, I see him as by nature being a
more sensitive, nitpicky, nerdy sort of
guy. always able to pick out the details
in things and being kind of sensitive
and reactive to outside stimuli and
especially desirous of that outside
validation. So how did he adapt to that
over time? What persona, what mask did
he build in order to survive and
succeed? Well, we can see from these
composits of two right sides there, it's
much more jovian, more plutonian. The
face is much broader. You can see that
the inner face is smaller, more aloof,
detached. And we can see from the face
as a whole a little more hostile,
combative maybe. This is very much a
strength mask that he's putting on of
this big jock alpha male type. We can
also see from the eyes that they're much
wider set. So his right eye is wider set
than his left eye. So by nature in
private, much more detail focused, much
more easily disgusted, much more focused
on the whole in public and in his
professional life. much more open,
tolerant, a little spacey, easygoing,
doesn't really care about that stuff.
That's how he projects to the world as
being is this easygoing guy, but in
reality, he's much more sensitive,
focused, detail oriented. So, what is
John Zirka's big picture? Well, I would
say that on the surface, he is Plutonian
Jovian. We see strongly on the right
side and in that main face shape Jupiter
plus Pluto. a very strong compliment to
that sanguin front of his face with the
sloping forehead and projecting chin. So
he is a very strong sanguin,
charismatic, stereotypical alpha male,
bold, confident, courageous, combative.
However, his true self, his underlying
energy of action that we can see from
his jawline and from the left side of
his face is much more caleric,
mercurial, sensitive, thoughtful, highly
intellectual, detail focused, nitpicky,
very focused on work. Now, in most
cases, you want to kind of eventually
reach a balance with this where you're
the same person in public as you are in
private. There's no more asymmetry. You
want to get a balance, a pure synthesis
of these elements. But in practice, a
lot of times this sort of dichotomy can
work well for people where when the
camera's on, you're super charismatic,
outgoing, bold alpha. And then when the
camera's off, you're much more serious,
thoughtful, intellectual, quick
thinking, and able to work and focus on
work and do stuff and build in the long
term. As of now, I think this is a great
combination for him, and it reveals on
the one hand why he's been so successful
in streaming, and on the other hand,
maybe some of the disadvantages that
come with that. Again, too much Sanguin,
Mercury, Pluto. These are all very
strong, intense facial features and
archetypes and temperaments going on
here. There's not much in the way of
moderation, subtlety, stress resistance.
He's very much an impulsive, rapid,
intense, go off the handle sort of
person. And we can see that he's been
banned from streaming platforms before,
maybe because he's gotten a little too
enthusiastic, a little too into it, and
he's had to pay for that. That goes to
show that face reading cannot tell your
destiny. It can tell you what your
strengths and weaknesses are. But how
you use those and whether you use those
for good or for bad or use those
effectively, play out the advantages or
fall into the disadvantages of that,
it's entirely up to you. Thank you once
again to John Zurga for requesting this.
