Imagine you enter a room full of strangers. What will you do first?

Select an answer:

I will stop for a moment and observe what is happening. With a smile, I head towards the nearest group and introduce myself. I'm looking for someone who is inconspicuous, and I will stand close by. I'll sit aside and wait for someone to talk to me. I take note of who holds the "power" and try to make contact with them.

How would you describe the way you usually hold your hands when talking?

Select an answer:

I usually hold them close to my body or in my lap. I use gestures spontaneously and often. I make sure that gestures are controlled and deliberate. I tend to hide them – in my pockets, behind my back. I often use them to support my words, but sometimes I don't even realize it.

What comes to your mind first when someone often avoids eye contact during a conversation?

Select an answer:

He is hiding something or lying. He might just be shy or insecure. He doesn't seem to be interested in what I'm saying. He is elsewhere in his thoughts, perhaps thinking more deeply. I don't mind that, everyone has their own style.

How would you feel if someone was mimicking you during a conversation (body language, posture)?

Select an answer:

I would feel understood, perhaps even pleasant. It would unsettle me, it would seem strange. I wouldn't have noticed it. I would be pleased – I take it as a sign of interest. I would need to change my position or way of speaking.

Imagine someone speaks confidently, but their body language is closed. What do you think?

Select an answer:

Something is off – maybe he’s not sincere. It seems that they are just trying to appear strong, but deep down they don't believe in themselves. He might just be tired or having a bad day. I perceive words more than gestures. I will notice it, but I won't evaluate it – I will just record it.

When you are nervous, how does it manifest in your body?

Select an answer:

I will start to move or play with some object. I'm trying to monitor every move to cover it up. I will start to sweat or change my facial expression. I freeze and limit my movement to a minimum. My body is "doing its own thing," I don't consciously pay attention to it.

Which image evokes the strongest sense of trust in you?

Select an answer:

A person who is smiling and maintaining eye contact. Someone who appears calm and stable. One who acts naturally, without ostentation. A person with firm, open gestures. The one who acts reservedly but observes attentively.

If you imagine yourself in a job interview, where would your hands be?

Select an answer:

Lying on the table, motionless. I would hold a pen or some object in my hands. I should have my arms crossed. I would naturally use them to emphasize words. Hidden under the table or in the lap.

How do you react when someone in a conversation intrudes into your personal space inappropriately?

Select an answer:

I will step back or gently tilt away. I will stay in place, but I feel uncomfortable. I will point it out verbally or with a gesture. I am trying to change the topic or situation. I don't mind it if I feel that the intention is friendly.

If you were a character in a silent film, how would you most often express your emotions?
