Is there a Catholic art of reading people? If this shows up more than once, it's because the browser seemed to have frozen

I was reading that it’s ancient and Confucius had a way he thought would do the trick (I just saw that in a browser search result), but I thought I heard that the Church has that amongst its tradition. I have heard on Kathleen Keating’s radio show (BTW, I am just curious about what she says, but I think we need not be Chicken Little about the 3 days of darkness, yet we should read the signs) that, if I understood her correctly, in some peoples’ eyes, you can see whether something disturbing is going on in their mind and/or soul (not that you can read or judge their soul). Thi does not have to do with knoing if they are lying or what not). I thought I heard something similar once from a traditional priest. Is this a true thing? If so, is there a kind of faq about it? It may not be perfect and you may not read someone perfectly, obviously. I was reading a website, though, on a secular military site about how this sargeant, I think he was, looked at a soldier and could see the fear on his face and looked at another and saw a lifetime of regret on his face.

Thanks!
