Welcome to
the second episode of ‘What you need to
know’…on Jerry Odii’s blog. With these series of exposure, I intend to lay emphases on what you possibly encounter on daily basis and how you can use
them to sieze the moment to your advantage. I hope you find them useful.
Today we are looking at ‘9 THINGS YOU DO THAT PEOPLE USE TO JUDGE
YOUR PERSONALITY’
From the
moment two people meet, they are sizing each other up. Whether it’s a date or a
job interview, the small stuff matters – from the firmness of your handshake to
your taste in music, to your punctuality, hand writing and so on.
YOUR
HANDSHAKE
Firm
handshakes communicate strength and confidence. A weak handshake could signal
meekness.
YOUR
PUNCTUALITY
Being on
time is a sign that you are organized and proactive. Late people can be seen as
procrastinators.
YOUR
HANDWRITING
Graphologists
contend that large or bold letters indicate you are extroverted, while small or
tiny letters suggests shyness. Also your writing has a way of selling you off about how coordinated or not you are on the inside.
YOUR
FAVOURITE COLOR
Industrial
psychologists argue that red lovers are tenacious, while yellow lovers find
happiness easily.
YOUR TASTE
IN MUSIC
A study has
found that people who listen to ‘upbeat and conventional’ jams are more likely
to be outgoing and athletic. But to note, your taste in music goes a long way
in describing your personality, your sensation and most importantly your
exposure.
YOUR EYE
CONTACT
Psychologists
insist that confident extroverts tend to look more often and for longer at
their partners. A huge deal of how you can express your smartness depends on
your eye contact. It is a weapon of safe manipulation and defence mechanism.
YOUR MAKEUP REACTIONS
Research
suggests that those who bite their nails, pull their hair, or pick their skin
tend to be anxious perfectionists.
HOW YOU ASK
QUESTIONS
The
questions you ask and how long it takes you to ask them reveals how much of a
‘giver’ or ‘taker’ you are. It simply shows that amidst every grammatical
glorification, you don’t miss out in sieving that which is important or
relevant.
YOUR CHOICE
OF PET
One study
found that dog people are generally more energetic, while cat people are
smarter and more sensitive.
