I don't pay much attention to non-verbal communication; I rather focus on what I am saying.

I am trying to stay calm and naturally maintain a comfortable distance. I will unknowingly yield or slightly deviate. I remain in place, but I nonverbally express discomfort (e.g., I cross my arms).

What do you do with your hands when you talk?

I use them to emphasize my thoughts, but I don't overdo it. I keep them calmly in a neutral position so that I don't seem nervous. I often put them in my pockets or hide them when I don't feel comfortable. I wave my hands and use wide gestures to emphasize emotions. I don't really consciously notice my gestures, and my hand movements are spontaneous.

How do you react when you realize that someone is lying?

Select an answer:

I observe his facial expressions and body language to confirm my suspicion. I'm asking questions and trying to analyze his reactions. I won’t show it, but internally I am keeping an eye on it. I will react immediately to show that I noticed the lie. I tend to rely more on what is being said than on non-verbal signals.

What attitude do you take when trying to convince someone of your opinion?

Select an answer:

I am consciously trying to control my body language in order to minimize it. I tend to play with my hair, a pen, or another object. I'm either pacing in place or making quick hand movements. My voice changes slightly, but my body language remains stable. I am not aware of any obvious visible signs of nervousness.

How do you use eye contact in communication?

Select an answer:

I maintain natural eye contact to show my interest. I change my gaze so I don't look too intense. When in prolonged contact, I feel uncomfortable and I tend to look away. I try to look someone straight in the eyes to appear confident. Eye contact is not important to me; I focus more on the content of the conversation.

How do you respond to the non-verbal signals of other people?

Select an answer:

I observe them and adapt my communication to them. I take a neutral stance and analyze the situation before reacting. I rarely pay attention to nonverbal signals; I focus more on words.

How do you express empathy through nonverbal communication?

Select an answer:

I lean slightly forward and gently nod. I use open body language and maintain eye contact. I will touch the person (e.g., a gentle tap on the shoulder) if it is appropriate. I mirror her nonverbal cues to show understanding. I express empathy more verbally than non-verbally.
