I know for many years I was afraid to smile broadly because of problems with my teeth, and was really happy to have that taken care of
I read some actor saying once that "it is all in the eyes"-- and someone else telling me that we "read" other people very quickly, putting together data combining someone's posture, the tilt of their head, their eyes, their mouth, their tone of voice if they can be heard..
( I have heard several times in my Life that people, when meeting someone new, will"size up" the other person very quickly and decided rather rapidly how they feel about the other person...a VERY strong "first impression". Some people assign more weight to some factors than others-- I remember one woman telling me how " the first thing a woman notices about someone else, especially a man, is their hair."
Well, true for her maybe, but the "multi-factorial" approach sounds more sensible to me--
And now we have this article to ponder
Can You Read People’s Emotions?
Are you tuned in to the emotions of others? Or have you been accused of being insensitive?
If you are among those people who are mystified by moods, new research offers hope. A new study shows that certain types of reading can actually help us improve our sensitivity IQ. To find out how well you read the emotions of others, take the Well quiz, which is based on an assessment tool developed by University of Cambridge professor Simon Baron-Cohen.
The average score for this test is in the range of 22 to 30 correct responses. If you scored above 30, you may be quite good at understanding someone’s mental state based on facial cues. If you scored below 22, you may find it difficult to understand a person’s mental state based on their appearance.
(If no final score appeared, please double check to be sure you didn’t skip a question.)
