Does a selfie reveal something about the person-in-pic? In fact, your style of taking a selfie can disclose various secrets of your personality, says a new study.

Researchers from Nanyang Technological University Singapore, said the pose of taking selfie, the place from where it is taken and even the angle of selfie can bring forward several aspects of a person's personality.

Experts said that the facial expressions, emotions and other personality secrets could be judged through selfie.

For example, if a person looks happy and smiling in a selfie, he/she is likely to be kind hearted and co-operative, the study said.

People who take selfie of below their face are able to adjust in all kind of circumstances. Similarly the people who are crazy to take selfies in public places seem to be very honest, it said.

Experts feel that selfies reveal more about an individual's personality than any other ordinary photo because in the selfies, people have to handle the camera themselves.
