Background: Cheiloscopy (quiloscopy) can be defined as a method of identification of a person based on characteristic arrangement of lines appearing on the red part of lips. Biometric parameters like fingerprints and cheiloscopy may be employed to determine/understand the personality of an individual. Assessment and prediction of personality anomalies like psychosis and criminal tendencies may potentially be guided by biometrics like cheiloscopy.

Materials and Method: A cross sectional study was conducted among adult population of age range 21-40 who were selected by eligibility criteria after informed consent. They were given a questionnaire adapted from the Eysenck personality questionnaire revised form and then cheiloscopic impression was obtained. Types of lip prints were correlated with determined personality types.

Results and Conclusion: A total of 524 individuals were selected and questionnaire data and lip prints were correlated. Type II and Type IV lip patterns were predominantly males and were associated with psychotism. Early diagnosis and counselling can potentially help in criminal jurisprudence.

Abstract


Background: Cheiloscopy (quiloscopy) can be defined as a method of identification of a person based on characteristic arrangement of lines appearing on the red part of lips. Biometric parameters like fingerprints and cheiloscopy may be employed to determine/understand the personality of an individual. Assessment and prediction of personality anomalies like psychosis and criminal tendencies may potentially be guided by biometrics like cheiloscopy.

Materials and Method: A cross sectional study was conducted among adult population of age range 21-40 who were selected by eligibility criteria after informed consent. They were given a questionnaire adapted from the Eysenck personality questionnaire revised form and then cheiloscopic impression was obtained. Types of lip prints were correlated with determined personality types.

Results and Conclusion: A total of 524 individuals were selected and questionnaire data and lip prints were correlated. Type II and Type IV lip patterns were predominantly males and were associated with psychotism. Early diagnosis and counselling can potentially help in criminal jurisprudence.
