With the help of this kind of idea, we can assume that customers' preferences for automobile are different depending on their types and features of the face, and that it is also the case with their purchasing purpose. In addition, we think we can apply this physiognomical concept to marketing. The purpose of this study is analyzing people's difference of considering factors when buying automobiles and purchasing purpose according to their different types and features of the face. As a result, considering factors and purchasing purpose are different in proportion to sex, age, types and features of the face.
