From the results:
Facial traits are the primary driver of subject perceptions of leadership ability, and those perceptions successfully predict promotional success later in the cadets’ careers. When selecting for leadership potential based on police cadet photographs, respondents predict correct promotional choices at levels well above chance as measured by an AUC score of .70. Further, respondents’ evaluations successfully discriminate both between no promotion and lieutenant promotion, and sergeant versus lieutenant promotions.
That is from a new paper by Ian T. Adams, Scott M. Mourtgos, Christopher A. Simon, and Nicholas P. Lovrich. Via the excellent Kevin Lewis.
