Quiz

2.

What does this
body language
indicate?
a) Shame
b) Confidence
c) Sadness
d) Nervousness

The answer is nervousness. Nail biting
is a common body language behavior
that helps some people relieve
tension and anxiety during stressful
situations

4.

True or false: When
talking to someone,
feet pointed towards
you is a sign of mutual
interest.
a) True
b) False

5.

Feet pointing towards someone is generally
a good sign of mutual attraction or interest.
In large group settings, the most charismatic
person will usually have the most feet
pointing towards them.
However, if a person feels uncomfortable or
disinterested and wants to leave, the feet
may be pointing away towards the exit.

6.

Which of the following
eye movements
indicates that a
person is lying?
a) Looking left
b) Looking right
c) Looking up
d) Non of the above

7.

The correct answer is none of the above.
Experts suggest that being able to tell if
someone is lying based on their eye
movements is a myth. Currently, there is no
modern scientific evidence to back up this
claim.

8.

What does this body
language indicate?
a) Happiness
b) Fear
c) Confidence
d) Excitement

9.

The correct answer is confidence. This hand
gesture is called steepling. Steepling occurs
when someone is typically feeling confident
and in charge. The higher someone holds the
steeple, the more confident they feel. You
will rarely see steepling from a subordinate
in front of his boss, or someone who is
unconfident in what they are saying. If
someone is steepling in a sales negotiation,
they might feel like they have the upperhand

10.

Is this a genuine
smile?
a) Yes
b) No

11.

This is a fake smile. Real, genuine smiles
typically have an indicator that is known as
the “Duchenne marker.” This is what causes
the corners of the eyes to form wrinkles,
otherwise known as “crow’s feet.” If a person
is smiling but lacks this indicator, they may
be smiling just to be polite or even faking it.

12.

True or false: Putting
objects in the mouth
(such as pens,
eyeglasses,
fingernails) can be a
sign of anxiety.
a) True
b) False

13.

Most people put objects in or near their
mouth when they are anxious, tense, or
stressed. This gesture mimics the same
behavior of seeking comfort at our mother’s
breast when we were infants

14.

True or false: Crossed
arms always indicate
someone who is
closed-off
a) True
b) False

15.

Crossed arms is a body language cue for many
different things— it can mean someone is angry,
in deep concentration, feeling cold, or simply
resting their arms. It does not necessarily mean
someone is closed off.

powerful as words.
c) Nonverbal signals are twelve times more
powerful as words.

communication 12 to 13 times more than
verbal communication.
