General – How to read body language tip 2
This tip is not about particular body part, it is about How To Read the signals that are being given off and how to interpret them.
As stated on the BBC site “Most body language experts favour the Rule of Four, which means look for at least four signals suggesting the same thing before totally believing it.”
This is a good rule of thumb because the same sign can mean different things depending on the situation. For example if someone is pointing with their finger, it could mean they are pointing to an object. Or this could mean they are doing it in anger. So if you look for more signs to go with the same emotion you will be able to come to a more accurate conclusion. If they are also frowning with their eyebrows, their jaw is shut tight and their stance is a bold one then we can more or less assume this person is angry.
So remember the four signal rule when reading body language. It will give you a much more accurate assement of the situation.
