Here are 7 small things that can tell you a lot about a person and what they all mean:

1. Their Body Language

From our posture to our facial expressions to our hand gestures, researchers believe that
our body language and nonverbal cues make up to over 65% of all communication (Foley &
Gentile, 2010). And because we often do it unconsciously, body language can be an
incredibly powerful tool in understanding someone’s personality, attitudes, and feelings. For
example, facial cues like smiling convey happiness, furrowed eyebrows denote confusion,
and biting your lip shows you are worried, anxious,

1. What and how they talk about others when they are not around--it’s
often a representation of how they would talk about you when you're not
around.
2. Look at how they take care of their shoes. You can tell their gender, age,
attachment anxiety, personality characteristics, etc.
3. Your home is a reflection of who you are. An old expression my mother
taught me growing up but holds truth in it. Tidier living conditions suggest
the person holds a sense of pride in who they are, values hard work, and is
organized. Whereas a messier home indicates, disorganization, confusion of
self, and laziness.

The way they respond to things not going their way.

When you get to know someone, you might not get to know them enough even if you go
on several dinners, dates, and parties.

If you really want to get to know someone, travel with them. Do you know why I say this?
During a trip, there is a possibility of several things not going your way. It could mean
anything right from a delayed flight, to them forgetting to pack something to you wanting
to see a museum, and them thinking that it is drudgery.

So imagine this situation. You both are on an 8 hour flight with a layover post that to get to

Ability to solve problems. Some people are able to apply skill sets across tasks. They don't
compartmentalize or have to be experts. A science researcher can also research cars or
houses and make a well-informed consumer choice. A division manager can get on the
phone with the passport office and take care of things at the last minute so his or her kid
can still go on an international trip.

Alertness in groups. People who stay connected in professional and social situations can
skillfully interject statements and actions that keep things flowing and allow goals to be met
more quickly. The impac

Your Body language will reveal a lot

-In any face-to-face meeting, when one person has decided to end the conversation or
wants to leave, he will turn his body or feet to point towards the nearest exit.

-hand-to-face gesture, This body language 'sentence' says something like, 'I don't like what
you're saying', 'I disagree' or 'I'm holding back negative feelings'.

-if a five-year-old child tells a lie, he's likely to immediately cover his mouth with one or
both hands.

-When a teenager tells a lie, the hand is brought to the mouth, the fingers rub lightly
around it.

They say the devil's in the details and according to my understanding simple actions and
habits of people can be very revealing as to the type of person they are.

Here are a few things that might divulge a person's true nature.

1. Personal hygiene tools. For example the type of brush they use. An overly used, fraying
brush denotes low personal hygiene of the individual thereby showing his/her irresponsible
nature.
2. Their choice of personal grooming and cleanliness is the litmus test for a person’s
healthy habits.

Although you and I are not masters of psychology, but master some skills, you can also see
other people's mind.

1.Smile when they are talking

When you talk to someone like this, you will feel very relaxed and happy. Most of them are
cheerful, never harsh to life. They always believe that one who is contented will be happy.
They are very popular and like a peaceful life.
2.Think with their chin in their hands

They are usually energetic, very talkative, and like to drill "ox horn point". They are picky
about their career and working environment. If it is something they like to do, they will work

A person's mouth can deceive people, but people's body language can't deceive people. By
getting along with a person, his body language can roughly know his thoughts.

 A man's mouth can lie, but his eyes can't. Boys are a kind of visual
animals. When they like a person, they can't help but stare at her all the
time. Even if it's not standing face to face with you, but at a party of many
friends, he can't help but stare at you. If you have such a boy around, it
means that he is actually very interested in you.
