Not everyone is like an open book. However, you can learn "what's between the lines" when you meet someone, such as when you're looking for a theme or figurative language in a novel. Try to analyze a person by paying attention to their clothing, body language and behavior.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Judging by the Cover
Step 1. Identify clothing that identifies a person's occupation
A lab coat, equipment belt, paint splatter all over, suit or uniform can tell you what someone is doing professionally. Use the information to determine whether they are young (too young for a job), a professional, a skilled worker or retired.
Step 2. Look for wrinkles
The lines near the eyes, mouth or neck will tell you how old the person is likely to be. Signs of aging on the hands can also be a good indication of their decade. Some people who experience a lot of sun exposure, or those who have smoked, may have more wrinkles, while those who live in colder, more humid climates may have smoother skin.
Step 3. Try to recognize the prosperity
Sometimes, wealth or the desire to be rich is shown through the quality of clothes, shoes and even haircuts. Look for a watch, diamond earrings or a designer bag. However, be careful. Many educated people avoid these items and wear more casual clothes. Some are even happy with tousling hair and maintaining facial hair (beard or mustache in men).
- Alternatively, look for signs of frugality. Faded clothes, discount labels on worn out clothes or shoes will tell you if someone has a little money, although many people have the principle of avoiding fashion pressures and making it clear by wearing simple clothes, made of natural materials, which will naturally fade faster. In addition, certain very good shoe brands will last much longer than cheaper brands, and although they may look worn out over time, they have been built to last for more than a century, and therefore, will have prices are many times the price of cheaper shoes with similar styles.
- While these signs may tell you an economic decision someone has made, they don't translate into behavior.
Step 4. Look for signs of precision
If the person has well-groomed hair, ironed clothes and has an eye for style, chances are they are people who pay a lot of attention to the little things. A person with a more relaxed closet or “head of the bed” is likely to be a creative or messy person, although it is possible that someone with an eye for detail has decided to focus on the details of their job and not put the time and money into it. enough for their personal appearance.
Step 5. Proceed to the person's body language
As the saying goes, "You can't judge a book by its cover," clothing is the most inaccurate way to judge a person's personality.
Method 2 of 3: Interpreting Body Language
Step 1. Notice if the person you are talking to moves away from you when they answer
This can be a sign that they are under stress. Rubbing your hands against your thighs or head is also an indication of stress.
Step 2. Look for signs of anxiety and nervousness or physical tension with clenched jaws or pursed lips
Crossing your arms or legs suddenly or looking away can also be seen as negative body language.
Step 3. Pay attention to eye contact
Avoiding eye contact and staring too long into someone's eyes can be a sign of anxiety or lying. Eye contact cannot be faked, so if you don't see wide-eyed or prolonged stares, the person is most likely in a relaxed state.
Step 4. Watch for signs of distraction
Looking at the wall clock, watch or cell phone can mean that the person is nervous or bored, or maybe they have a habit of checking their phone or email frequently. Starting a new job while they're talking to you is a better judgment to see if they're paying attention.
Step 5. Count the blinks of his eyes
Increased blinking will indicate a feeling of nervousness. This can be a positive thing, such as physical attractiveness or a subconscious manifestation of the stress of being the center of attention.
Step 6. Reward yourself for your efforts
People often have micro-expressions that may show more accurately what they're thinking. However, it will appear in an instant, and probably only your subconscious can record it. Micro-expressions will tell you much more than body language cues.
Method 3 of 3: Reading Behavior and Motivation
Step 1. Study a smile or laugh to find out its authenticity
If someone's mouth is raised in the corner, but their eyes are not wrinkled, they are faking a smile. They may be trying to lie or they may be uncomfortable or nervous.
Step 2. Watch for changes in his behavior
If someone crosses their arms and legs and starts to open them or reach out, it's a sign that they feel more comfortable with you. Also, if someone close to you begins to show a lot of new postures or expressions, they are likely going through an emotional or physical change.
Step 3. Recognize the signs of someone wanting power
This type of person will seek awards and leadership positions. They aim to win arguments and find ways to influence others.
Paying attention to behavior can indicate a person's motivation and help predict his future actions
Step 4. A person who is motivated by affiliation or contact with others tends to have many friends and is likely to act as an intermediary among his friends
This type of person expects acceptance from others.
Step 5. Capture the motivation to excel
If a person sets high standards, likes to work alone and seeks challenges, they are more likely to be motivated by feelings of personal accomplishment rather than strength or affiliation.
