Imagine that you are talking to someone new and you notice that they often look away during the conversation. How do you react to that?

Select an answer:

I will start speaking more fluently and try to keep his attention. I will also start to look away to mimic his behavior. I will stop and ask if everything is okay. I don't pay any attention to it and continue the conversation. I feel uncertain and start to think if I said something wrong.

How do you react when someone stands very close to you during a conversation and invades your personal space?

Select an answer:

I will take a step back to create space for myself. I will stay standing, but I feel uncomfortable. I will use touch, such as a pat on the shoulder, to gently indicate boundaries. I will start focusing more on the nonverbal cues of that person to understand their intentions. I quickly change the topic or situation to get out of it.

During the discussion, someone suddenly crosses their arms and leans back. What do you think about that?

Select an answer:

It can mean a defensive stance or disagreement. Maybe he is just cold or tired. I don't want to jump to hasty conclusions, but I prefer to observe his further signals. I'll change the topic because I might have said something inappropriate. I will continue telling the story as before, without addressing it.

When someone constantly checks their phone during a conversation, what do you think about that?

Select an answer:

He is not interested in me, I bore him. Maybe he is waiting for an important message or call. It's rude, but I would rather not comment on it. I'll wait to see if he puts his phone down by himself, and if not, I'll do the same. I will ask him directly if something is bothering him or if everything is alright.

How would you describe the nonverbal communication of a person who often touches their face or neck during a conversation?

Select an answer:

He can be nervous or insecure. Maybe something is itching him or he has a sore neck. I usually try to ignore it so that I don't get influenced. I also monitor other signals to understand his true emotions. I will try to calm him down by showing more understanding in the conversation.

When someone uses very expressive gestures while speaking, what impression does that make on you?

Select an answer:

It seems to me that he is very enthusiastic and passionate about the topic. It can be exaggerated and disruptive. I notice whether his gestures relate to the content of his words. I tend to mimic his energy and adapt. I will focus more on what he says than on his gestures.

How do you react when someone maintains very intense eye contact during a conversation?

Select an answer:

I feel uncomfortable and would rather look away. I will return his eye contact, but I am trying to keep it natural. I perceive it as a sign of self-confidence and concentration. I'm wondering if he's testing me or if he has some hidden intentions. It depends on the situation – sometimes I find it impressive, other times it can be strange.

When someone is speaking very quietly and barely audible, what will you do?

Select an answer:

I lean closer to hear him better. I ask him to speak louder. I will adjust to his pace and also start speaking more softly. I am observing whether it is related to his insecurity or just a habit. I'll leave it as it is, maybe he has a reason to speak softly.

What do you think about a person who often touches those around them when they laugh?

Select an answer:

He is sociable and open to physical contact. It could be a way to get attention. I'm trying to determine whether he does it naturally or consciously. If it doesn't suit me, I will gently let him know that I prefer distance. I perceive it as a manifestation of his friendliness and connection to others.

How do you react when you're in a room full of people and notice someone standing alone?

Select an answer:

I will approach him and start a conversation. I am watching to see if someone else takes the initiative. Maybe he's happy alone, so I'll leave him be. I will try to subtly involve him in the conversation through the group. I feel a bit of awkwardness and I'm not sure what would be best to do.
