Being described as average-looking might not sound like much of a compliment, but having a 'typical' face means people trust you more.

没有人会觉得相貌平平会是一种赞美,不过一张“大众脸”能让你看上去更可靠。
 
Psychologists created a scale of faces, ranging from unattractive to attractive, and found those around the half-way point were rated as the most trustworthy.
 
The experts believe that we are more comfortable with familiar faces because we are tuned1 to fear the unknown and unusual.
 
Lead researcher Carmel Sofer, from Princeton University said: 'Face typicality likely indicates familiarity and cultural affiliation2.
 
'As such, these findings have important implications for understanding social perception, including cross-cultural perceptions and interactions.'
 
For their study, the researchers created a 'typical' face by digitally combining 92 female faces.
 
They also created an 'attractive' face by averaging the faces of 12 women who were independently rated as the most beautiful, from a separate set of photos.
 
The typical face and the attractive face were then merged3 together, and from this, the researchers created variations that had differing levels of attractiveness and typicality.
 
The result was a continuum of faces ranging from least attractive to most attractive, with the most typical face in the middle.
 
To remove gender4 bias5, only women rated the faces on a nine-point scale for trustworthiness or attractiveness.
 
After each face was rated on three separate occasions, the results showed a U-shaped relationship between face typicality and trustworthiness.
 
That is, the closer a face was to the most typical face, the more trustworthy it was considered to be.
