Happy to sad?  
That looks to me like it  *ought*  to be one-dimensional,
and ordinal.  

It is not my area, but I am sure that there has been a lot of 
work in reducing visual displays of emotions to countable
dimensions;  also, in trying to figure how culturally independent 
they are.

Work on "lie detecting"  should also be relevant.
