'''Facial width-to-height ratio''' (or short '''FWHR'''), measures how broad the face is in relation to the [[height]] of the face. FWHR was only discovered in the last few years but in that short amount of time it has been found in some studies that fWHR is correlated with such things as dominance, aggression, psychopathy, short term attraction, fighting ability, financial success, risk-taking behavior, trustworthiness, sex drive, status, and prenatal testosterone exposure or adult testosterone levels. | '''Facial width-to-height ratio''' (or short '''FWHR'''), measures how broad the face is in relation to the [[height]] of the face.
