Snapshot Report
Body Language
30

You appear to fall victim to many of the common physical barriers to communication. People may at times feel uncomfortable when talking to you because your body language is inappropriate for the situation. How we say something is just as important as what we actually say - and in some situations, body language may even express more about how we are feeling than words.

Barriers to communication often include too much or too little eye contact, standing too close or too far away during a conversation, crossing arms across the chest or putting hands on hips (which can be perceived as anger or defensiveness), not smiling enough (or even too much) and using inappropriate facial expressions. Fortunately, with a little practice, physical barriers to communication can be avoided.

Sounds right to me. I never really know what to do with my arms to most of the time I cross them over my chest. And I don't smile much. My default expression is not really a frown but it looks like one to many people.

I expected to see all the stats for free ...

I scored 47 on body language. Basic body language, which mostly means the use of hands to gesticulate when talking, helps a lot it seems.
