In order to determine how a person is in fact, the researchers asked participants to write their own response, which was supported by the assessment of relatives and friends.

The study shows that the first impression may be correct, even if short-term fellowship, and participants showed quite good results. The more the sides were confident of the accuracy of their estimates, the closer it was the opinion of friends and relatives (although this relationship is not exact ).

I consider it my duty to draw readers' attention to a very important factor, as the bias in the preparation of a first impression of a man. The more a person is attractive to us, the greater the tendency on our part to ascribe to him a more positive traits and ignore the negative. The less - the more negative traits we ascribe to it. This factor should not be forgotten, because it is based on a dating service such as 'speed-dating' derive their efficacy.
