<p>Professor Abraham Tamir of Ben-Gurion University in Israel has completed what he claims is the first survey of its type to classify and record the different shapes of the human nose, the Daily Mail reported.<br /><br />This revealed that there are 14 types of nose, with classifications ranging from “fleshy” to “celestial”. The most common, particularly among men, was the fleshy nose, best illustrated by Prince Philip, which featured on almost a quarter of all the faces studied.<br /><br />Writing in the Journal of Craniofacial Surgery, Prof Tamir says those with such a nose are likely to be generous, emotional, helpful and sensitive. But it is not all good news. In the professor’s opinion, both the “fleshy” and the “hawk” are among the least attractive.<br /><br />The Roman nose, seen on Hollywood actor Tom Cruise, was sported by 9 per cent, who were ambitious, courageous and clear-thinking. Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe joins the 9 per cent who sported an aquiline nose, said to symbolise a cool tactician with a business mind. Some 13 per cent had celestial noses, with celebrity examples including actor Carey Mulligan. These, the professor believes, are most attractive along with the snub noses found on 5 per cent. <br /><br />Simon Withey, of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons, said: “Women like a nose like Angelina Jolie’s — a very delicate nose with not a lot of bulk. Men like straighter noses. In general people don’t like fleshy tips or excessive bumps.”</p>
