I've read a lot on body language, and obviously some of it has stuck.

Overall Score: 62/100
If your're under 13 years old then you shouldn't take your score to seriously at all. You need to know that sophisticated body language recognition really only starts between the ages of 14 and 18 years old

61 - 80 :

WELL DONE! Ok! We’re a little impressed and so should you be! Reading and projecting the right body language does come naturally to some people but not as many as you might think. If you’ve never read up on this form of human communication then a little extra study could make you an expert. If you’ve been training yourself then you’re well on the way to becoming great at this. You probably got into this because you were interested and now that you’ve found that it really works you’re still hungry for more. It’s a fact that people who project the correct body language are far more likely to be seen as attractive to the opposite sex and progress well in their chosen careers. Believe it or not, most people do recognise body language at a subconscious level but experience it as an emotion – the trick is to turn it into conscious recognition. And ... you can!

Know yourself!

These seem the very same things I've been taught to memorize. A very interesting quiz. A lot of what I know comes from guesswork and analysis. It is something of a confirmation for me that my memorization is functional, although my execution is still, sadly, lacking. I need mirror practice to match facial movements.

41 - 60 :

YOU'RE AVERAGE. Well, if you’re a man then, believe it or not, you’re actually just above average. If you’re a woman and you’re score is under 50 then you probably often wonder why you wind up with men that are such complete and utter losers. The good news is that with a little extra attention to your body language, and other people’s, you could really begin to experience the difference. Reading body language is just like any other skill – it takes practice. Really great sportspeople and actors spend a tremendous amount of time watching how others do it. Try going to a party and blend into the background and then watch how people are interacting with each other. Try and predict what will happen and why. You’ll be amazed at how well this works and how hard it is not to participate. It’s programmed into human psychology that we should take part. The problem is that when you’re “out there” it’s hard to see what is really going on. Try watching some movies – not for the sake of the story – but to watch the actors. This really works. Actors use body language as the tools of their trade. When we talk about bad acting we really mean bad and unconvincing body language. Still, body language is something that you feel you’re beginning to understand. If you made it close to a score of 60 then you should be reasonably pleased with yourself.

Overall I got 59/100, average

I do read a lot of books and have watched videos and tv programmes about body language so I know quite a lot about it. I can notice stuff when I'm observing people.
It's different in real life interaction though that I'm taking part in.

the test is outrageous!
how the hell do i know the answers to those questions.
i would have to be educated in order to answer most of them them, so i guessed most of them.
i am sure i got more correct than my score suggests.
most of the questions were bizarre.
they spelled "you're" wrong so i do not place any credibility in the score i got.

like i said in response to the question "a person points their cigarette toward...the person who they do not like" this must have been incorrect since i got 0 for the body pointing score.

hmmm...humbug.

Overall Score: 17/30


YOU'RE AVERAGE.

I didn't like a question about where some gesture means something blah blah blah. How should I know? I thought they'd show me pictures of gestures and ask what they mean. For some questions answers can be learnt only from books I guess.

This is not a very good body language quiz. Some of the questions do not have anything to do with body language at all, but with common stereotypes unrelated to this field. A total waste of time, I'm afraid. :)

True. It encompasses culturally-based social knowledge as well. Although if I were to rename it, I can't think of a way to do so that describes this quiz adequately.

61 - 80 :

I think the test was a bit bogus to be honest. Not everyone who is good at body language knows (or needs to know) social customs in different cultures, and some questions seem to require that you read a certain book beforehand.

Also, why is it necessary to know what features most men/women find physically attractive in the opposite sex? It seems largely irrelevant.

Most of the questions I was just guessing, so I think my 51/100 is pretty inaccurate!
