I guessed on multiple questions and second-guessed myself on several more. Many it took me time to come up with an answer because I did not just "know."
I suspect based on this test that my actual ability is probably lower. That as with some other tests, I'm compensating intellectually and from past experience.

Holy crap, I'm average! I can hardly even believe this. I should get a medal.

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

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.

***I guessed a substantial amount of the answers to this. I knew a few of the cultural ones from learning about them in my anthropology classes and elsewhere. For general ones about more local body language, I guessed at a lot of those.***

I guessed on a few. I'm betting that a quiz where you can take your time and analyze and guess and change answers is a very different thing than a live action test though. I guessed on most of the intercultural questions. Some questions were straight out of body language 101 - if you've ever taken a class or been to a seminar on the topic some of the basics were covered here. The Attractveness questions seemed very subjective to me. I suppose there are standards but unless you are a social analyst of some sort I'm not sure why you would know statisitcal information such as this.
Interesting. Kinda fun. But thats about it.

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

Not bad for guessing every single question. :B

IMO, some of the questions had more to do with whether or not you knew terminology than actual body language skills.

49/100.
A lot of those are trivia questions, not body language questions.

I sucked on the sex signals...probably why I get into such dire situations with men.
