Imagine that someone unexpectedly looks away during a conversation and starts playing with a ring on their finger. What do you think?

Select an answer:

He is probably nervous or uncertain. Perhaps he is thinking about something important. That's a signal to me that he's hiding something. I don't pay attention to such details; what matters is what he says. Maybe something else caught his interest more than the conversation.

In the waiting room, you notice that someone is sitting with their arms and legs crossed, looking with a neutral expression. What does that tell you?

Select an answer:

It looks closed off, maybe they don't feel comfortable. He is probably just tired or bored. It could be a defensive posture – protecting something. I do not judge people by the way they sit. He comes across as someone who keeps his distance, which I respect.

During the conversation, the other person often nods even when you are not speaking yet. How do you perceive that?

Select an answer:

He wants to encourage me to keep going. It comes across as unnatural, maybe it's just trying to impress. Nods give me a feeling of understanding. He seems to have a tendency to quickly agree to keep the peace. Something in me becomes alert – it's too eager.

When someone gestures dramatically with their hands during a presentation, what do you think of them?

Select an answer:

He is confident and passionate. He is trying to attract attention – maybe he is hiding insecurity. I feel that he is exaggerating and is being theatrical. I appreciate it when people enliven their explanations with gestures. I don't perceive it consciously, rather I notice the content.

Which of these situations would make you the most nervous?

Select an answer:

When someone does not maintain eye contact during a conversation. When someone speaks too closely to me. When someone is silent and just stares at me for a long time. When someone has a rigid posture and a blank expression. When a second person gestures excessively.

How do you react when someone unexpectedly touches you during a conversation (e.g., on the shoulder)?

Select an answer:

It slightly catches me off guard, but I try not to react. I welcome it – it feels human and heartfelt. I don't like it, it invades my space. It depends on who it is – with some people, it doesn't bother me. My smile freezes, but I won't say anything.

During the job interview, the HR representative has a neutral expression and is only taking notes. What does that evoke in you?

Select an answer:

I feel uncertainty - I don't know where I stand. I will focus on my answers, I will not worry about expressions. I perceive it as a cold approach – it's not pleasant. Maybe he's just creating an objective picture. I will start to control myself more to avoid making mistakes.

When someone frequently changes their body position or shifts their weight from one foot to the other during a conversation, what do you think?

Select an answer:

He is nervous or hiding something. Maybe he just doesn't feel physically comfortable. That signals to me insincerity or tension. I ignore it when it gives me more attentive feedback. I will start to subconsciously feel just as uneasy.

Imagine someone shakes your hand very firmly when greeting you. How do you interpret that?

Select an answer:

Wants to appear dominant or confident. Can't estimate strength – behaves clumsily. It is a sign of authority, which I respect. It will leave me with a perplexed feeling. I perceive it as a part of his energy – it's okay.

During the conversation, someone subconsciously covers their mouth with their hand while speaking. What does that tell you?

Select an answer:

He might be lying or hiding something. It could be a sign of shyness. He/She can't completely trust the situation. I consciously do not pay attention to such details. I perceive it as a gesture that can signify a lot.
