The human face has long been used as a tool for determining behavior and personalities in psychoanalysis and psych morphology. It was used as such because scientific backgrounds related to anatomy were identified with the curiosities from philosophers and theorists in the past. However, this theory about the face comes together with different temperaments and personalities that require special attention in architecture, in this study, privacy. Using Architectural Space Montage Technique as a tool for perceiving the layout of the living space with the use of scaled models of architectural elements, this study aimed to identify the perceived layout of a person. Thirty persons in each assumed personality types (e.g. Mental, Emotional, and Physical) were used as participants in a total of ninety (90) participants. The layouts were then analyzed through a tool called Enclosure Calculation to determine the degree of privacy that the participants unconsciously incorporated in their montage. Physiognomy, on the other hand, was used to identify the measurement of the three regions of the face where the temperament is determined being the largest in terms of area. It used photographs and scaling in CADD software for accuracy of the face measurements of the same sets of participants. These tools were correlated using Pearson Product-Moment Correlation as a tool of analysis, the following are the highlights; (1) mental participants created results that is strong in relationship between the face measurements and the degree of privacy which resulted to 0.374741538, a strong positive correlation which resulted to -0.015894173, a weak negative correlation (3) emotional set of participants incorporated the highest degree of privacy in their interior space, (4) mental participants got the least requirement in their interior space. These results identified the set of participants that required the highest and the lowest in terms of privacy and desired interior layout which was incorporated to create an interior space in the design phase of study.
