A LITTLE HELP WOULDN'T HURT. Get a body language book! Spend more time on this website. So you’re not a complete fool but we’ll still bet that you feel uncomfortable at parties and often wonder why you find it so hard to communicate with other people. You’re also often surprised when a person suddenly kisses you or just walks off to talk to someone else. You probably cross your arms a lot. There’s more than a sixty percent chance that you’re still with the first person you had sex with (or wish you were). The problem is that you recognise just enough body language for it to disturb you. Mostly, you don’t want to accept the truth of what you see. Understanding body language is like looking into a mirror and seeing another world on the other side. You just can’t accept the truth of what you’re seeing. Most people go into denial at this point and go for block-out. Most people will believe something that is flattering rather than what is true. In short, you’re OK at recognising body language you just don’t really believe in what you see. This is a good time to shed your illusions. This is the point where you decide whether to accept reality or retreat into the pink candy floss world of your own self-deceptions. Is this harsh? Definitely! True – oh yes. You have the potential to become good at recognising and projecting the sort of body language that will get you what you want but you really need to move from being interested in the subject to embracing it as a critically important part of human communication.e
I am actually doing the bolded part.
Reality is not very nice.
I get lost in my dreams.

I got a lot of points from just having a scientific interest in subconscious behavior, like body pointing and certain gestures concerning dominance (it's very similar to the body language of other mammals) . Attractiveness is just cultural bias, but since my teens I'm very aware of it. I think I can read faces fairly well, but in reality I don't notice expressions well in people who look back at me, so I only observe shy people or people who are involved in interaction with someone other than me.

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.

Admittedly, I would not think of going into a bar or someplace like that. But, I've been known to go to parties in the past and watch. Perhaps, I didn't watch all that well. I'll be paying closer attention at the next party I attend. Not saying much, but watching all the nonverbals to see if I can pick up on them. I've got some DVDs I can watch, too. Bingo - I just gave myself something to do

After spending most of my life learning to draw (and thus learning faces) and also reading the online body language dictionary, I think I'm fairly ok at this sort of thing.

(Though the question about a woman lifting her arm so the wrist is visible... Is that a signal? I said it wasn't. I've never heard of it before. I don't do it, and I don't think I've noticed anyone else doing it... Does it mean something??)

About average, apparently. The quiz had a lot of terms that I was unfamiliar with, and I guessed on a lot. Overall, I think this was a pretty silly test.

I read about that one in a book. It's a courting signal and it means the woman is showing a delicate "feminine" part of her body to show that she's available. It's the same thing with showing the dimple at the bottom of the neck with lowcut tops.

Now I'm a little anxious that I'm misreading (or possibly ignoring?) sex signals from other people :S
