Sometimes we happen to be mistaken in a person even when we have known him for several years. What then can we say about those with whom we have just met? Sometimes a lot can depend on how you correctly assessed the business qualities and decency of a person. The methods used by psychologists will help to learn more about it. The same methods are used by employees of recruitment agencies, recruiting personnel that meet certain requirements.
Instructions
Step 1
A lot can be learned about a person's personality in a conversation. That being said, you don't have to ask anything directly. Ask the person you are talking to if he drives a good car, speaks English, or cooks. An insecure person will say this, referring to the opinion of others. A person who has his own opinion on everything and is not inclined to adjust his behavior depending on the circumstances will refer to his own confidence.
Step 2
You can learn about a person's character by asking him an innocent question about how he is going to spend the weekend. The end result-oriented person who does not love or know how to do routine work will tell you that he wants to watch a new film and rest in order to go to work with renewed vigor. The person focused on the process will inform you that he needs a rest, because he is very tired for a week and wants to sit quietly in the cinema, watch a comedy, without thinking about anything. Such a person, as a rule, is assiduous, likes to work with documents, painstakingly study papers, he likes the process itself.
Step 3
You can learn not only about the character, but also about the feelings that a person experiences in a conversation, not only by the speech forms he uses, but also by the gestures that he makes completely involuntarily. An uncomfortable posture, sitting on the edge of a chair, and toes of shoes turned towards the exit will tell you that a person is not interested in a conversation with you, he wants to stop it and leave.
Step 4
The fact that he is going to lie will be told by his hands covering his mouth or fingering his earlobe. His confidence in his innocence will be indicated by his hands resting his elbows on the table and palms raised up with fingers touching each other.
Step 5
Hands lying calmly on the table with open palms signal that he trusts you and is ready to listen carefully. If at the same time the person feels free and is ready to dialogue with you, he can unbutton his jacket and get comfortable, leaning back.
