I'm average, apparently. I have absolutely no clue about sex signals, probably related to being asexual. (I also feel paranoid that I'm unintentionally flirting because I have no clue what flirting actually looks like.) And I'm best at recognizing territory/positioning cues and whether someone is anxious or confident. The anxiety/confidence questions I often found myself thinking about how I acted when feeling anxious - for example I had a job interview awhile back and I stayed very still during the entire thing because I felt scared and my body freezes up when I'm scared.

The territory/positioning thing may relate to something weird I noticed awhile back. I feel almost like people's 'essence' or something spreads out into the area around them. When I'm having a meltdown sometimes I won't leave a certain place because I feel like I'm holding the person back from possessing something I don't want them to have - for example, if my brother and I are arguing over the computer, I don't want him positioned closer to the computer than me even if he's not going on it. I seem to have a really keen sense of territory myself, which may be why I notice it readily in others.

I am not impressed by it, a lot of it was contradictory and confusing, and why they kept going into obscure hand signals is beyond me; and that is without the pictures of white blobs with no social context.

Thats a waste of a perfectly good half an hour

The heavy emphasis on lying, dominance and confidence throughout the quiz was annoying.
There were a million ways to interpret everything, too.

I got 41/100, mostly because I tended to choose different interpretations. I knew what the quiz wanted me to choose, though. Why must there be only one correct choice per question? Nothing in society follows one set script, as though humans are pre-programmed automatons.

52/100

Geez, when was this thing made, the 90s? Look at those people's hair.

Nonetheless, many of these questions had answers that either you knew or didn't. So.

However, I particularly liked this question:

Two pretty girls are dancing together at a nightclub. In the context of attraction and body language they are doing this because …
No one has asked them to dance and they’re bored
They’re just showing off and want to be noticed
They’re letting people know that they’re lesbians and don’t want to be approached
They’re just having fun and like dancing
They’re probably drunk

xD

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 .

What does "Intercultural" have to do with body language ?

I'm surprised at how well I did. I know for a fact I have trouble with picking up social cues. I've read a lot about body language, but perhaps I just have problems with the application. I guessed on a good portion of the test, but I also think anyone who takes interest in types body language can read how your knees point to people you like and how liars touch their nose/mouth.
