- A high forehead or wide-set eyes add a bright, quick-witted mood.

Reading results by photo condition
- A natural laughing photo shows the bright energy characteristic of the Monkey Type.
- In a neutral photo the playful cue weakens and another result may come up.
- If the face is blurred, the eye and brow-gap cues blur too, lowering confidence in the result.
Using the result, and what to keep in mind
- Good for image descriptions built around wit, curiosity and bright energy.
- Calling something playful describes the mood of the photo and does not fix a personality.
- Comparing with the Squirrel and Mouse Types shows the difference between liveliness and nimbleness.
