Body Language Quiz

How Well Can You Read Body Language?

July 14, 2009

Whether we're on a first date or talking to co-workers, we use body language every day to navigate our way through conversations or to get out of them. Take my quiz to see how well you can read between the moves.

Some of them are myths - for instance, if you look left, you're lying.

Agree about question 7-- I can't hear very well at all, and always look at the speakers' mouths. While taking this quiz, I had that in the back of my head, thinking: well, I'm concentrating, I guess-- I certainly don't want to kiss anyone!

I liked this quiz. I think I can read people pretty well.

They also sweat when they lie and/or they shift the blame back onto the accuser. I thought #4 was difficult & rather tricky! :( 5/10

also, since when did rolling up your sleeves mean you're relaxed. I normally associate that with about to get down to work on somethin (food, gardening, etc.) Yeah, I thought the exact same thing!

yeah i'd like to fight on number 7. A lot of time people are looking at your moth as you speak because they're trying to hear you better. Science proved (no i cannot find the link.) that you can hear better when you can see the speakers face. And everyone knows a little bit how to read lips, naturally.

I only got 5 right, I am a little disappointed, I really thought I knew more about this particular subject. Oh well, you live and learn.

7/10. Question seven kind of threw me off, though. I've always had a really weird habit of watching people's mouths while they're talking. Not because I want to kiss them, though.

6/10 I was taught in my Anthropology of Business class that this isn't true: "Nonverbal communication varies between cultures, but facial expressions for happiness, sadness, anger, and fear are universal." I was told that many Russians don't smile in public (I forget the reason), but that it doesn't mean they aren't happy.

"A head tilt to the right increases attractiveness but a tilt to the right does not do the same. " Typo?
