So, today I've thought of something a little fun. Something that has to do with yourself. Which in result also attempts to know what is other's perception on your personality. Got this information from "The Only Book You'll Ever Need : Body Language". Now in my opinion, there isn't an answer for a specification of what people would be interested in you. Every individual is differ. Depends, but these answers are reasonable. Besides, it's based on psychological matters. You might be the most loyal person on earth, but do you show an actual interest in others? Try to assess your body language skills with the following quiz.
1.Interaction with People
You're talking with your friends at work. You stand:
a) Several feet away. You're fully aware that people need their personal space.
b) As close as you can. Snuggling up is the way to show people you really like them!
c) Between one or two feet away, which is close enough to be friendly, but not close enough to crowd other people.
Answer: C. Personal space is important in relationships and different relationships call for different measurements of personal space. Close friends usually stand between on or two feet away from each other ;women tend to get closer than men.
2. Reaction on Facing Critism
You've just completed a project that is currently being criticised by the powers-that-be. You know your information is solid. You:
a) Stand in front of the boss's desk with your hands on your hips, your feets planted apart, your nostrils flared and your jaw locked while listening to his critique.
b) Sit in front of the boss's desk, your back straight, your feet flat on the floor, your head level and your eyes focused on him.
c) Stand in the boss's doorway, legs crossed, arms crossed over your chest, head angled down.
Answer: B. If you chose A, it expresses hostility,:option. If C, it shows as if you're willing to accept the critque being pointed at you. It's okay to use these gestures when the situation warrants it, but here you want to show that you're calm, cool and collected. Best option is B.
3. Either to be Approachable by People.
You're new in town and haven't met any friends yet. You've decided to hit the local coffee shop in the hope of making a new acquaintance or two. Once you have that latte in your hands you:
a) Find a quiet table in the corner where you can watch as people enter and leave the place.
b) Sit at the window counter, where someone else is bound to come and sit near you.
c) Leave. You don't see anyone interesting here at all.
Answer: B. When you want to meet people, you have to be willing to be near them. This, relates to personal space as well bear in mind. As long as certain boundaries are respected. A and C sends the message 'Stay away from me'.
4. Your Kind of Comfort to People.
You sit with your friends in the canteen every day. You'd like to be better friends with them. Aside using appropriate amounts of personal space, you:
a) Tilt your eyes to the side, smile and nod. Hold eye contact several seconds, look away and then look back at the speaker.
b) Look at what others are doing while someone else is speaking and do what they do.
c) Make your eyes as wide as possible, maintain constant eye contact, smile, nod profusely and touch them as often as possible.
Answer: A. B is a safe option. Only that if you do what other people do, you might look like you're not interested in the conversation. C is wayy too much. You're gonna get the person scared if you're possibly to interested in her. (Plus, in my opinion, may them to feel irritated.) A is middle ground, it's not too much, it's not too little. Just right.
5. How Your Crush Sees You.
You're out on a first date with Mr. Prince Charming (No, I'm not encouraging this matter please note.), who is so perfect you can't get your eyes of him, because you think he might be used to it. You think it's okay to watch him non-stop.
a)True
b) False
Answer: B. Unless you know them very well and willing to accept the circumstances. Staring isn't a great idea. Sure, this guy might probably knows how good-looking he is,but don't forget he's also a human being. Maybe he wants you to fall in love with his mind. And worse, makes you look like a potential stalker (total reputation spoil there). Even if it's true he looks so hot, remember, you're eye gaze on him by some extent can show either you're easily to get or rather showing him the sign 'You're handsome, but I ain't fallin' for you'(Like what Islam teaches, lower your gaze).
There is so many more but I thought I should end it here. Hope the answers satisfies you. I admit I'm falling for the book on having it to be really helpful on body language. :)
