How should the operative (you) act on targets, such that certain intended responses are elicited during interaction/s – these interactions, what are crucial interpersonal situations? What is the likely expectation (skill-set) of the target whereby evaluations about you are made?
Your being aware of the skill set of the target enables the facility to act in ways that are both comfortable and familiar to him / her. Thereby who the targets think they are seeing and what they are made to think about you is the character you act, that is; purely the character you project. This is very important because this projection hides you and what your intention really is.
This forms a supplement to the Section; ‘The Art of Spying’ and particularly to; ‘The Successful Manipulation of Targets’.
Here below is the skill-set and requisite explanations forming its basis.
.
(I)
Charming people do not always try to be a winner in everything. On the contrary, they try to give as much as possible, not expecting anything in return. It is not up to them to admit their own guilt, failure, or talk about weakness, which not everyone can do. Charming people can openly say, “I envy you so much” or “I do not know how, teach me.” Because they know that people appreciate sincere emotions. Think how useful this skill is.
(II)
Keeping a lively eye contact is extremely important during a conversation, and people with charm know it. They smile when you smile. Frown or nod when you do this. They do this, not because they are just trying to repeat after you, but because they are focused on what you say, and listen attentively, openly accepting your emotions and words.This form of feedback helps to find a common language with almost anyone, and to ensure the location of the interlocutor.
(III)
Most people unconsciously seek controversy and controversy, which leads to a dispute rather than a conversation. >> Charming and charismatic people are always looking for points of contact. Try to find something in common with your interlocutor, it helps to start an interesting conversation and get positive emotions from communicating with you.
(IV)
Touch is a powerful tool for transferring emotions. In one experiment, participants tried to convey 12 different emotions to their interlocutors through touch, without using words. It was found that in 50–83% of cases these emotions were conveyed correctly. Therefore, when you want, for example, to be seen as congratulating someone, think about how to do it better – with a handshake or perhaps pat on the shoulder – depending on the situation. This will help confirm the supposed sincerity of your words, to convey the desired emotion and endear the person to you.
(V)
Charming people simply amazingly convey their emotions and use all means in this. They are able to turn even the most ordinary story into an interesting story. Actively gesticulating, cramping their faces (when appropriate), they use all their strength to convey the mood of their history, thereby causing the genuine interest of the interlocutor.
(VI)
Maybe skating or playing ‘Twister’ is not their strongest side, but they are definitely not afraid to appear clumsy.
And oddly enough, people tend to respect them for it even more.
When you are really ready to demonstrate your weaknesses and are not afraid to look stupid, people do not laugh at you. They laugh with you. After all, everyone understands that this is quite normal.
(VII)
Masters of charm will easily make you talk about yourself. They are not shy about asking questions and just as openly talking about themselves. After all, these people sincerely want to know what you think, and this gives them even more.
As soon as you learn something about the person, ask him/her about it and tell something similar about yourself. This will show that you have something in common, something to share.
(VIII)
Charming people always remember the names and small details with amazing accuracy. The fact that someone calls your name, even if you are familiar recently or have only met once, makes you feel more important in a conversation.
Call the interlocutor by name and remember the name of his/her friends, relatives or pet. This will cause him/her only positive emotions towards you.
(IX)
Most people do not know how to listen at all, it’s true. Everyone wants to share something, and it is always nice when you tell a story, while seeing that you are being listened to carefully and have emotions corresponding to the story. Charming people know and like to listen more than they talk. This allows you to find out more interesting things about the interlocutor and find a lot in common.
NEGATIVE EMOTION PROJECTED TOWARD YOU
Very often in everyday life we are confronted with situations where we communicate with different people who do not always meet our expectations and do their best to demonstrate their negative attitude and behaviour towards us.
This is mainly manifested due to low self-esteem, internal feelings of dissatisfaction and anger, which they accumulate in themselves for years. Remember, this behaviour is in no way connected to you as a person.
The provocation may be in business negotiations, in communication with relatives or strangers. People from different social strata and age categories are subject to this.
Operational officers, employees of special services, by the nature of their activities, must constantly communicate with people and should do this skillfully in various communicative situations.
Consider the cases of various variants of rudeness in relation to you in the process of communication and ways out of such a situation :
MANIFESTATION OF FEAR
Fear often manifests itself when you are jealous or fearful of any competition on your part.
In this case, the optimal response is a sincere, indulgent, pitiful attitude. As soon as such a hedgehog with needles meets with a sympathetic look and a condescending pat on the back, it immediately becomes limp and after that is entirely yours. Make your opponent feel safe. Maybe even let him/her win something from you, beat you – let the hedgehog calm down, console his/her ego. Do not provoke him/her to new attacks of envy – truly, ‘you can count to ten, pretend that you can count to three.’ It costs you nothing, and the hedgehog – a small bit of happiness. Having calmed down and ceased to be afraid, your opponent will stop being rude to you and project your fears on you and may understand that between you there can be relationships built not only on competition, but also on complementarity.
MANIFESTATION OF AGGRESSION
Or an attempt to manipulate you by undisguised psychological pressure.
In this case, you need to learn how to automatically move away from such emotional pressure. The main thing is that this strike does not translate your psyche into a defense mode, so that you do not begin to defend yourself, do not stand in a weak position. On the contrary, it is necessary to learn to immediately perceive rudeness as a weakness of the rude one and respond either with a rupture of the pattern, or with counterclaims, or simply ignore. And to ignore, having looked at the poor person with some fleeting surprise, like a tsetse that has come from our mid-flying fly.
An example from life, namely from the field of business negotiations. An entrepreneur comes to an important negotiation, who declares to his counterpart, the head of a large firm, from the doorway; “You know, I am just amazed. What do you have !? ”And the head of the company, instead of responding correctly to this attack, from the very beginning of the negotiations, justifies, extinguishes and, as a result, conducts negotiations on conditions that are not quite successful for his company. If he/she knew how to properly respond to such boorish attacks, the more deliberately applied, then this would not have happened.
>> Such an aggressive manner of ostentatious, and more precisely, ostentatious (that is, imaginary) superiority, in general, is often used by many managers when conducting negotiations in business; to show that you or your product / service is worthless and completely uninteresting to them. This is how you get big discounts, instilling in you insecurity in yourself or in your product. If you encounter different forms of rudeness in business, all the more so do not succumb to provocations, it is possible that you simply ‘powder your brains; to bring the price down.
A DEVELOPED STEREOTYPE
Finally, in the third case, the so-called template break is a good therapy.
The answer to rudeness can be given pointedly politely or in a benevolently humorous way. Be friendly and emphatically polite – it is from this that the roof is blow off, look, maybe the ham will go crazy and stop projecting negative attitudes on you, because they simply will not know how to react to your calm behaviour. In any case, you can not get involved in the emotional state of the boor and react to him/her reactively, and not proactively, that is, to be led, to follow his/her emotions. Well, a person is sick, it is obvious, let him/her go mad for health. Help the convalescent!
After all, the Ham expects to see the aggression in return and suddenly does not receive it. After that, the ham enters into a trance, from which it emerges either completely changing the tone, or simply cowardly retreats.
Remember that one of the best means to deal with boors is humour. Laugh his or her statements, bring them to logical absurdity, or show that you appreciated a good joke.
GAIT
Gait to a lesser extent than other elements of expression, is amenable to regulation, so on its basis it is possible to judge the stable individual characteristics of a person.
Gait performs a number of functions; it regulates the communication space, informs about the current state of a person, about the features of his/her personality. It is customary to single out a number of general gait characteristics: rhythm, speed, stride length, pressure on the surface, as well as such ‘special’ signs of gait, such as the position of toes, movement of arms, shoulders, position of the head.
The following criteria are based on the gait classification :
(I) gait pattern and step size (silent gait, wood, light, gusty, energetic, etc.)
(II) age features (baby, teenager, youth, senile gait)
(III) features associated with differences in gender (male, female gait)
(IV) professional affiliation (maritime sailor, ballerina, top models, etc.)
(V) status affiliation (chief’s gait, ‘commander’ gait, king’s gait, etc.)
(VI) characterological features of the state (confident, guilty, proud, lazy, cowardly, etc.)
Separate elements of the gait are difficult to fix, but a number of researchers give their psychological interpretation thus :
(I) the rhythmic gait is peculiar to a person inspired, it may indicate a good mood or that an interesting decision has occurred to him/her
(II) wide gait with medium and small growth – evidence of dedication, activity, extroversion
(III) short and small steps are often inherent in a cautious, calculating person who can keep himself in hand;
(IV) intermittent, stumbling gait – an indicator of uncertainty, stiffness, timidity;
(IV) dragging gait can talk about a bad mood, and the lack of interest;
(V) a slow walk with his head down and his/her hands clasped behind his/her back can happen to a person engaged in solving a problem
(VI) a strong waving of hands when walking demonstrates the purposefulness, determination of a person;
the habit of constantly keeping your hands in your pockets while walking speaks about the criticality, the secrecy of a person, and the desire to suppress others.
Thus, for practical activities it is very important to be able to analyse all the proximal characteristics of communication; the distance between partners, their location relative to each other, the direction of movement of their bodies, the synchronism of the appearance of certain body movements, dynamic posture change, the extent of relaxation – tension posture, openness – closed posture ‘Diminishing yourself’ denotes ‘increasing yourself.’
HANDSHAKING
The ritual of handshaking is not ubiquitous in the world due to the socio-cultural characteristics of the peoples living in certain territories.
The first mention of a handshake is already in the 5th century BC. and this ritual is supposed to have originated from the act of showing the palms, in which there was no weapon.
In the general contemporary culture, under the influence of the West, handshakes have become almost the most basic gesture-regulator, that is, a gesture that regulates the interaction and communication of people.
Thus, knowing the layer of information on handshakes, it will be possible to have the opportunity to regulate your interaction with people who also use handshakes, which is a considerable number of people in the world.
Handshakes are not any kind of ’embedded program’ in the human brain and are ‘accumulated’ in the course of life. Also, most people know that a person knows this world through the prism of his sensors – the sense organs. And on the hands, especially in the palm rest a large number of tactile receptors are concentrated, which contribute to the study of the surrounding world.
The main characteristics of the handshakes are as follows :
(I) Brush inclination (domination / equality / sub-dominance)
(II) Handshake distance (far / middle / close)
(III) Hand grip force when shaking hands
Consider each characteristic :
The slope of the brush can be of 3 types :
(II) Palm down – dominant position, which is associated with the control of the brush of another person, as the dominant top brush allows you to connect the entire shoulder girdle to apply pressure, plus, when you put your hand palm down, the whole arm turns its back, more protected, because the arm on the palm side is more vulnerable, there tendons, which, if damaged, will affect the possibility of movement with the fingers, plus a large number of vessels and veins.
(II) Palm aside – neutral position – equality.
(III) Palm up – sub-dominant position. The reasons are the same. At the bottom, it is much more difficult to control the palm of the person whose hand is on top, the vulnerable part of the arm is exposed and, with pressure on the subdominant hand, the entire body of the body will also bend down.
Handshake distance
Just as far as we are close to ourselves we allow anyone to stay geographically, is a good indicator of confidence in what is being tolerated, since our ventral part of the body is anterior, the most vulnerable, relative to the back of the body. Thus, when people greet each other at a distance, a greater distance of their outstretched arms, this speaks of distrust of each other, for many reasons, for example, their poor acquaintance.
The closer people are to each other at a handshake, the more trusting they are to each other.
(IV) Hand grip strength when handshaking
If the slope of the brush itself speaks of general dominance, then the compression force is an indicator of ranking, due to the fact that there is a need to demonstrate strength in order to somehow establish itself before the person with whom the handshake is performed.
A person can squeeze a palm and being having a subdominant position of his palm, also vice versa – some pseudo-aristocrat, unwilling to contact ‘commoners’, extends his/her hand palm down and does not put pressure on its compression, because he/she does not want to contact and rank with an unpleasant person to him/her, he/she already considers him/herself more dominant and wants to be rid of this ritual as soon as possible.
In conclusion, summing up all the information you can draw the following conclusion on the handshakes:
Top down (palm down) – suppression, domination, imperiousness, control.
Bottom up (palm up) – subdominance, openness, controllability.
Far distance – unwillingness to contact, dismissal, mistrust, fear.
Close distance – trust, friendliness, desire to contact.
Strong compression – a demonstration of strength, a desire to rank, a desire to dominate.
Low compression – unwillingness to commit a handshake, unwillingness to contact.
TO BE AN UNREMARKABLE PERSON (OPERATIONAL EMPLOYEE) –
CLOTHES / APPEARANCE.
CLOTHES – ATTIRE
A spy must be ‘soluble’ in the crowd, invisible. It is necessary to dress decently, but not brightly.
If there are thirty people in a pub, of which five can be remembered, you should not be among these five, but among those twenty-five who are ‘invisible’ to extraneous memory.
When performing operational actions, it is often necessary, by selecting clothes, not to stand out from the crowd or merge with the locality where the events take place. This is a very important moment in operational work, on which the whole process of long-term planned preparation and execution of the task depends.
It is especially important to take into account the general colour background of clothing of the population in urban conditions at different times of day, year and geographic location during outdoor observation. Conducting observation, it is imperative even in the case when the object will turn around, look around, remain inconspicuous for their gaze, imperceptible in the crowd. Their gaze will look for something noticeable, something that he/she had previously seen when following his particular route. By selecting discreet clothing, this moment of detection can be minimised.
When staying in the countryside, forest, mountains, it is important to be able to competently select clothes so as not to attract the attention of the object to them both from a distance and close. This is done by choosing a specific colour range depending on the terrain, time of day and year, as well as tailoring and style.
It is worth paying attention to the stylistic features of the choice of clothing during surveillance. At the enterprise, for example, appearing in youth clothes, although dim colours in accordance with the time of day, immediately struck. Or in a student cafe, having appeared in a strict suit, it will be difficult to remain without attention. And on the contrary, wearing a bright catchy T-shirt, shirt, having made a hair, you can become absolutely not attracting of attention at a youth gathering.
Summing up the general questions, we emphasise that what is imperceptible is made not just by the grey colour of clothes or black, but by the colour that corresponds to the environment depending on such factors as the time of day, year, geographical location, social environment.
And now let’s move on to specific stylistic variations.
Wear clothes that mask you. The colour of clothes must match the colour of the environment in which you move, you also need to take into account the time of day. Wear darker tones at night and light in the daytime. Choose a fabric that will be soft and will not produce unnecessary sounds. Cotton is a good choice, but soft polyester is just as good.
If you go through the night city, then thick dark clothes would be an excellent choice. If you are in nature (forest or field) – wear tight-fitting clothing so that your figure dissolves when looking from afar. Instead of black, wear dark brown or green, because black is very prominent.
Do not wear clothing that reflects light. Remove all shiny jewelry and try to wear lenses instead of glasses.
Try not to wear heavy clothing. There will be no benefit from it, and your movements will only get harder. Also, you will make an extra noise.
In the summer during the daytime, light jackets, windbreakers and shirts are preferable if you are in the city. Just light-fitting jeans, trousers. The style of clothing is the simplest, not leather jackets, not raincoats.
For women, the same is suitable.
When you are in the USA, You (and Europeans generally) should take into account the overall colour of the clothing population in cities.
In Russia, caps and gloves are also dark tones. It is important the absence of bright accessories, scarves, briefcases, bags.
APPEARANCE
When selecting agents for surveillance, it is extremely important to consider their appearance. Especially it is necessary to pay attention to the fact that for this type of operational work such parameters as average height, body build is not complete and not too defiantly athletic, lack of visible scars on the face, hands, tattoos are more important.
It is necessary to ensure that agents of compliance with short haircuts and the lack of facial hair, for women bright makeup.
Do not wear glasses. Wear caps, hats, and hats, let alone shift eyes.
It is extremely important not to exchange your eyes with the object of observation. A look should be directed to the other side from him/her, in passing.
THE RECRUITMENT ‘PROFESSIONAL’
The totalitarian structure does not trust such an important thing as recruiting, to anyone. Recruiters, as a rule, are charming, friendly people. They know how to make a good impression on others. They also know how to show their interest in a person as a person, sympathize with him, comfort, calm, praise, give hope to those who remain in gloom. to be welcome interlocutors.
If a person accepted the invitation and came to the group, the recruiter has already done a lot. It is difficult for any person not to succumb to group influence and pressure. This is how the psyche works, and this is what we discussed above.
When a person comes to a meeting, he/she is immersed in an atmosphere of care and emphasised attention to his/her person, in every way trying to instill in him/her the idea that he/she is a very interesting person and that it is surprisingly pleasant to communicate with him/her. The Moonies even had relevant terms – ‘bombing with love’ and ‘sandwich’ – when two experienced recruiter take a newcomer into a dense, caring custody and do not leave him/her with their attention for a minute.
The goals of the ‘loving’ new friends of a newcomer are to gain his/her trust, win over, evoke a steady inner interest in the organisation, its doctrine, leader, members of the structure.
At the beginner, they strive to create the impression that he/she is surrounded by respecting and understanding friends, that the organisation is the spiritual home, where he/she was waited and glad that he/she was fortunate enough to arrive here
POSITION OF THE BODY
The totalitarian structure does not trust such an important thing as recruiting, to just anyone. Recruiters, as a rule, are charming, friendly people. They know how to make a good impression on others. They also know how to show their interest in a person as a person, sympathise with him/her, comfort, calm, praise, give hope to those who remain in gloom. to be welcome interlocutors.
If a person accepted the invitation and comes to the group, the recruiter has already done a lot. It is difficult for any person not to succumb to group influence and pressure. This is how the psyche works, and this is what we discussed elsewhere here.

POSITION OF THE BODY
A good way to check whether mutual understanding is reached is to assess the position of the bodies between
communicating people. Two provisions are particularly informative in this respect.
Forward tilt
When communicating, a person usually leans towards those he likes and tries to move away from those who are unpleasant to him. People sympathetic lean towards each other.
Open pose
People who trust each other take open poses, They talk about mutual sympathy and readiness for frank communication. People do not shower do not cross your arms over your chest, but are animatedly gesticulating during a conversation, turn up open palms, slightly forward and serve other friendly signals. In order to emphasise openness, the interlocutors encourage each other with interludes ‘Yeah,’ ‘clear,’ etc.
People who understand each other and have mutual trust do not feel threatened by the interlocutor and calmly accept open poses. But the person
feeling discomfort when communicating, adopts closed posture to protect
from a real or imaginary threat. Closed posture also indicates a lack of interest.
Closed poses, as a rule, is the opposite of open.
The first are the crossing of hands on the chest, poor gesticulation and the almost complete absence of friendly signals. If the interlocutor looks at you, but his/her body
and feet are turned in the other direction, this means that he/she is not very interested in what you are saying.
Turning the legs to the side – a subconscious signal that a person is going to leave. Another sign of loss or lack of interest is the tilting of the body or head back.
An uninterested person can support his/her head with the hands, start idly picking a toothpick in his/her teeth (!) or tidying up his nails.
BODY POSITION CHANGE
Experiencing mutual trust, people turn the body in the direction of each other. The body of the interlocutor deflected to the side or back indicates the absence trust and understanding.
Non-verbal body language suggests; if a person turns in the direction of the interlocutor, it means that mutual understanding between partners is growing.
CONSECUTIVE TURNS OF THE BODY
In order to ascertain the existence of mutual trust using the provision torso, it is worth remembering the basic rule that people who experience mutual trust and understanding, as a result, will completely turn towards each other. And moving occurs in a certain sequence; first, the person will turn to your head, then your shoulders, and at the very end your whole body. In that case, be sure that he trusts you.
POSITION OF THE CUP
You must remember that seventy percent of all information communicated by people to each other is transmitted during food intake. For breakfast, lunch or dinner, people talk at the same time. Observing how the interviewee puts a cup of tea or coffee, will tell you whether there is mutual understanding between you or not. If the vis-a-vis puts the cup exactly between you, it will erect a barrier that indicates a lack of mutual trust. If his cup is located on the side, opening free space, then the trust contact has already taken place.
MASKED BARRIERS
Disguised barriers. Barrier with a glass, a mug, a bag with flowers, a bouquet.
Some of my favourite gestures are difficult to find, easy to confuse and harder to explain.
A bouquet or a handbag, a glass or a cup – all this is a barrier. An insecure person creates this barrier quite often and does not even realise the true meaning of his actions. This barrier is mainly used by women who are in public. A handbag is a means of gaining confidence and creating a comfortable environment that allows you to communicate with your partner.
Raised shoulders (barrier – ‘I am in the house’)
The gesture is embarrassing for the inconvenience. A person at this moment wants to appear as small as possible, occupy as little space as possible, and in general can dream of a cloak of invisibility or the ability to pass through walls. This gesture also occurs when the instinct of self-preservation is triggered, for example, if a person is very afraid of a ball flying at them on the golf course. Also, raised shoulders can mean a submissive apology to another person.
Invisible powder (cleaning clothes)
If during a conversation a person begins to shake off invisible fluffs, hairs, hair, or just to clean the clothes from the pellet, then pay attention to him/her, he/she most likely does not agree with your words or may even be silent about something important. And in order to hide his/her true feelings, emotions, and nervousness, the interlocutor begins to make small movements with his fingers in order to distract himself from his/her thoughts in a tactile way.
Gesture – hands on hips (full forward)
When a person puts their hands on their hips, spreads their elbows to the sides, he/she wants to seem bigger (on a subconscious level). This posture occurs in the case of fright or irritation. Hands on the hips put people who are involved in a dispute or a person who wants to fight. One way or another, this gesture carries not only aggression, but also confidence, if there is a pretty person next to it. However, if during the demonstration of a gesture, the clothes are tightly fastened, most likely, the person is depressed and tries to cheer him/herself up.
Barriers cutlery (cup of coffee)
If during tea drinking or dinner you notice that the cutlery is lined up between you and your interlocutor by the wall, then this is a signal that a change of theme is required. When a ‘cup of coffee’ blocks your ‘open’ access to the person sitting opposite you, this is nothing but a protective barrier and you should think a few times before saying the following words. If the ‘cup of coffee’ is left a little to the side and there are no visible obstacles between you and the interlocutor, you are on the right track and you should continue the conversation at the same pace as you started.
P.S. Let me remind you once again that each gesture is interpreted purely in context and can in no way be interpreted as a separate sign of something, be it a lie, openness or closure. Before you make a ‘verdict’ – cock all the pros and cons.
WHAT DO PHOTOGRAPHS POSTED ON SOCIAL NETWORKS TELL?
What hidden complexes or hidden desires, sometimes even unknowable by ourselves, can they tell the world?
(I) Various selfies (selfies in the mirror, etc.)
Under the abundance of selfie in the profile, there is a hypertrophied need for recognition and approval of others, an obsession, first of all, upon oneself, narcissism and a fair inclination to narcissism.
(II) Sexy Selfies
Lips ‘duck’, attractively underlined outlines of the body. Your message to the world; “I am relaxed, ready for experiments girl.” Think, and you need it – so frankly broadcast to the world what you are ‘on the market’, and your body is a bait and a way to sell yourself more expensive.
And do you really think that men and women who are committed to a serious relationship, peck on such a bait?
(III) Photo pair
This is a demonstration of your union and the fact that you perceive it as strong and long-term. A way to tell the world; “I’m not alone, I love, I need and value.”
If there are a lot of such photos in a profile – this is an occasion to ask yourself a question; why do I need this? what and to whom I want to say these frames? Perhaps behind this is the need to prove something to your former lover (or to win the competition from less fortunate girlfriends).
(IV) Photos in company
If in your profile the most part of a photo is a photo of parties, a photo where you have fun in the company, then this may indicate internal emptiness and loneliness. And also that belonging to a community of people flatters your vanity. You are broadcasting to the world; “I was chosen for this team, I am part of it. And it is flattering to me. ”
(V) Children
There are two possible options. If we share our children’s photos, put it on the avatar, then this indicates fatigue from adult life, responsibility, loans and mortgages. Behind this is a subconscious desire to return to childhood, the need to be taken care of. “Take me to the pens, pat on the head,” – tells the world such a photo.
The second option – we share photos of their children or their photos with a child. By this we say; “I am a mother, this is a great achievement in my life.”
(VI) Animals and photos with animals
If this is a photographer’s account, then a photo of wild animals in their natural habitat is evidence of professionalism. But if an ordinary guy or a woman puts a photo of a wild wolf, a graceful cheetah on an avatar, this is an attempt to give what is desired. The owner of the page wants to appear bold and strong.
In girls, as a rule, photos of all kinds of mimic animals prevail. For example, charming kittens (rabbits, puppies) or girls with kittens. Such photos testify to the sentimentality and infantilism of the account owner.
(VII) Nature
This is not about professional photographers accounts. If your profile has a lot of photos of landscapes, then this may indicate satisfaction with life. Life is a success, you can admire nature. But it can also talk about fatigue from the frenzied daily rhythm, the need for solitude and the contemplation of the beauties of nature.
(VIII) Glamour images
For the abundance of such profile photos there is a need for narcissistic support, for emotional ‘strokes’ in the form of likes and flattering comments. And this is an occasion to think about their self-esteem and alternative ways to strengthen it, not resulting in dependence on likes and the virtual world.
(IX) Travel Photos
For some, a photo from trips indicates a desire to emphasise one’s status (or desire for it), an opportunity. “See how and where I can afford to relax,” – broadcast photos.
And for others – material evidence of the reality of the journey, of those feelings and emotions that were experienced. Confirmation of the fact that you reached the point where millions of others visited, but you are here for the first time, and this is your personal achievement (for example, a photo against the background of the Eiffel Tower, or Machu Picchu in Peru).
(X) Photos on the background of yachts, expensive cars, luxury items
This is a way to tell the world about your success (often imaginary or desired), to emphasise a certain social status. To declare;life is good, or to lie about it.
(XI) Food Photos
This is not about professional food bloggers. Photos of gourmet food from an expensive restaurant – an attempt to self-assertion, social self-promotion. And if this is a photo in the profile of the mother on maternity leave or housewives, then this desire to prove (first of all to herself) that things are no worse than the others. As in the kitchen, it can be no less interesting than in negotiations, in offices, at conferences, festivals, etc.
(XII) Extreme photos
Skydiving, the conquest of mountain peaks or waves on the surf – this is about broadcasting the world of truly masculine qualities: courage, strength, reliability, endurance.
But for extreme selfies (selfies on the roof of a skyscraper, a train, with a predator) is the need for recognition, the need to be noticed, to feel alive. Young people can literally sit down as a needle on the emotional cocktail of fear and pleasure that they experience making extreme selfies. Close people should pay attention to this hobby and, perhaps, consult with a psychologist.
(XIII) My funny photos
Apparently, the owner (or hostess) of the page is self-confident and possesses self-irony. Because posting ‘skewed’ photos of yourself, especially when it comes to a girl, it takes courage. Or maybe he (or she) just “laughs” at his problems?
(XIV) Photos in the office
If the profile often contains photographs in the office, in a formal setting, then for a person his professional life, realisation in society is obviously important, he is full of ambitious and ambitious plans. For the owner of such a page it is important for as many people as possible to show that he is a high-level professional holding a status position.
(XV) Items, layouts, part of the whole
These photos give out a person who wants to seem non-standard. And they talk about the creative nature and aesthetic sense.
(XVI) Real photos without filters and photoshop
Such photos say that a person perceives him/herself as he/she is. This situation also includes the situation when a person for several years does not change the avatar – it indicates the stability of views, moral maturity, the absence of the need to be drawn before anyone on social networks, to receive emotional ‘strokes’ in the form of likes and compliments.
Such people use social networks to communicate with friends or for work, and not as a reason to show themselves in all their glory. They prefer not to photograph moments and share them, but to live them in their entirety.
WHAT IS YOUR PAGE ON SOCIAL NETWORKS TALKING ABOUT?
PROFILE OF SOCIAL NETWORKS
Let us analyse what can be said about a person, what trends in behaviour we can identify, and what psychological features we can tell a page on the social network.
If there are a large number of groups, posts, photos in different contexts in a person’s albums — rest in different places, extreme sports, a large number of photos with different friends — do not expect him/her to follow all the rules and norms in work / communication society rituals and sequence of actions, monotonously and thoroughly perform any work, strictly limited functionality, this is a person with a picture of the world, in which any opportunities are important, who will strive to learn experience in different areas however, not always bringing the work begun to a logical end. As a rule, these are cheerful people, ready to offer their help, capable of performing diverse tasks, enjoying the pleasure of communicating with people, new impressions and good rest.
A large number of photos with a loved one (from 500-1000 and more) can also tell a lot about the profile owner, ranging from events occurring in a person’s life, ending with those values that are leading in his life. People who publicize the details of their lives love and appreciate attention, demonstrating all aspects of their lives. Often for such people the very fact that they are being talked about is important than what is being said about them. Albums can have photos that are intended to surprise and amaze, there are no or very few photos with other people, but photos with some celebrities or important high-ranking people can be uploaded. Self-centeredness, shocking, pathos – all this accompanies the profile of a person who will behave in a similar way in life. These are people whose strength is the ability to present themselves, to present, but often the case does not reach further presentations, they may not fulfill these promises without feeling guilty, and even shift the blame on another person. They know how and love to manipulate other people.
The tendency in the profile to frequently repeat photos with the same people, or in the same places, relatively regular maintenance of your account speaks of a person who is used to stability and certainty, as a rule, these are people you can rely on. mainly they fulfill these promises and try to finish the work begun. If at the same time there are posts on the page with negative statements, black humor or not too cheerful statements – people are used to the fact that the glass is half empty, their behaviour is aimed at preserving the existing benefits and positions, and not at winning new ones. In other words, it’s good to protect the rear with them, but to build far-reaching, daring plans is better with those who have a lot of quotations on the page in the status with a resource picture of the world. These people prefer brightness and positive, seek to receive positive emotions, like fast rhythmic music, are subscribers or members of groups aimed at achieving goals (‘Millionaire Thinking’, ‘Notes of a successful person”, etc.).
When we meet pages where we see a large number of photographs devoted to the theme of nature, animals, beautiful places – this can speak about the specific nature of this person. And if among the photos we also see a large number of photos of family members (children, parents), this indicates his attachment to family values, and not in words, but in deeds. This person is rather vulnerable, delicate, sensitive to nuances, who may have different interests related to the search for him/herself; h/shee is not a revolutionary, but rather a conformist. However, if among the content of the page we see the minimum number of photos with people, and more architecture, events, places – then this may indicate a person’s desire to communicate to minimise emotional manifestations by increasing the logical and informational component, that is, in communication such people are not looking for emotions and information. Rather, they are analysts, fairly consistent people who will not rush into the pool with their heads, but will carefully analyse the incoming information before making a decision.
On the other hand, if you want to find information about a person on social networks, but have not found his profile anywhere – this can also tell something about a person. There can be many reasons. The first is the reluctance to “shine” somewhere for some objective reasons (the condition of the employer, attitude to the special services, or maybe they are looking for a person), and also in connection with a personal desire, which can talk about secrecy and suspicion of a person, about beliefs or a negative attitude towards showing off your life. It may also be elementary due to the large employment of a person (work, travel, business) when there is no time to manage your page or communicate online. So, goal-oriented successful people, whose activities are not directly related to the promotion, can ignore the opportunity to use social networks due to heavy workload, or with the desire to remain in the shadows at a certain publicity due to their status. However, if such people create accounts, then, as a rule, for business-related purposes, and not for communication.
In general, the analysis of pages in social networks is a fascinating and interesting activity, tracking the “walls” of close friends, you can simultaneously compare what you know, finding matches and connections. Thereby you will learn observation, critical thinking and deduction. And this can be useful for you when making new acquaintances, while ‘recruiting’, when analysing your next acquaintance with a view to the coincidence of interests and possible future, and also just for a better understanding of those people around you.
WHAT DOES POSTURE TELL?
(I) Smooth and natural posture, not a bit tense, says that a person is open – as a rule, he feels confident, it is confident and calm, without a hint of self-confidence. If a person is characterised by a smooth posture, then he/she will surely like others and make a good impression.
(II) Stressful posture, in which the body is unnaturally straightened, immobile and appears to be wooden, gives in its possessor uncertainty. A person feels the need to isolate him/herself from others, feels as if he/she is not at ease. He/she is shy, closed in him/herself and avoids contact. This person is more comfortable alone with him.herself.
(III) Stretched and seemingly rigid posture often hides behind all this hardness a very sensitive and vulnerable person. With all his appearance, he inspires determination and confidence that emotionality is not peculiar to him/her. But in fact, he may well sit at home and cry over the melodrama.
(IV) Sluggish posture suggests that a person is in a bad mood, something is depressed, and maybe even depressed. Most likely he/she is waiting for someone’s support.
(V) Unsure posture gives a dependent, possibly intimidated person. Such people feel safe only with the support of others.
If the shoulders are slouched, and the chin and head are down, then the person is obviously nervous because of something, maybe he feels some kind of impending threat – this is a defensive attitude.
The shoulders drooping and falling forward are a sign of depression and humility of a person. Surely he/she feels inferior. If this does not change, then with the passage of time such posture becomes consistent. And despondency will be inherent in man/woman.
About a person whose shoulders are freely lowered, we can say that he/she is fully in control of the situation. He/she is confident and calm, he has no reason to portray something.
If a person’s shoulders are not just straightened, but laid back, then this indicates that a person is proud of something, or feels some merit for him/herself. Now he is above others. However, do not take this gesture so one-sidedly – it is human nature to overestimate yourself.
A man/woman who alternately lowers and lifts the shoulders is concerned with meditations, and not the easiest. Most likely, he/she is facing some difficult choice. After some time, some kind of scales will outweigh.
The protruding chest has several meanings. Such a person feels either his physical strength or spiritual. For the most part, such people are active and in good contact. Another meaning suggests swagger, bombast and snobbery. The opinion of this person about him/herself can be as bloated as his/her chest.
Hands, resting on the hips, show that the person clearly has little living space and is ready to press others, but, oddly enough, this same gesture also speaks about the internal insecurity of the person. This is how a person finds inner support for him/herself. He/she tries to strengthen his position, and therefore resorts to this position.
And that would not resort to tricks and different poses, just be yourself, and even when you do not need support from the outside, or internal support, you will always have it.
THE BOTTOMING OF PARTS OF THE BODY IS CONNECTED WITH :
(I) Demonstration of fertility. The more fertile a person is, the more potential attention will be directed towards him/her to calculate the profitability of reproduction.
(II) Demonstration of health. The better the health, the higher the degree of sympathy, since healthy reproductive are more successful both in terms of gestation and in terms of transferring their genes. Health includes body proportions, weight, height, health of organs, skin, and so on.
(III) Climate. In cold weather, wear more clothes than in hot. So do not think that all options for exposing the body are related to points 1 and 2, but often it is so
(IV) Fashion and traditions.
There may be the most common variants of occurrence, as with etiquette. This is a big topic, so it will be discussed separately.
Exposure of parts associated with fertile signs
In women, it is :
Hands and fingers
Why do you think girls like to do a manicure and grow long fingernails? This is all the same sign of fertility. When the long nails are on the fingers, they visually lengthen the fingers, making it more mature in the man’s eyes, as the woman ‘matured’ when her limbs became elongated, using the same signs, the brain calculates how much the female object ‘matured’ or no – along the length of the limbs.
Legs
The longer the legs, the higher its fertility (maturity and readiness for reproduction). By the way, this is why women like to wear heels and similar shoes – to visually increase the length of their legs. If a man looks at a girl in a mini-skirt, where she is wearing, for example, sneakers, and then looks at her, but only she has rather long heels, then in most cases he will be more sympathetic with her heels.
Conclusion – the more the legs become bare, the greater the desire to demonstrate the main fertile trait to increase reproductive success, and plus, to demonstrate health and figure, which, incidentally, is also for reproduction and demonstration of competitive advantage.
Chest
Breast formation is also associated with the maturity of women. That is, with an increase in the secretion of certain hormones and the completion of the maturity of girls, the breast is also finally formed and one more fertile sign is formed and now, its emphasis will also be quoted to attract attention. Therefore, its demonstration by any available methods works just as well, since it is the second fertile sign of the degree of conspicuity.
Men have very little exposure to signs of fertility, so do not be surprised. Women evolutionary pay more attention and prefer slightly different signs than just appearance.
Shoulder girdle
When growing up, boys increase the level of testosterone, which gives them an increase in bone width, increase in muscle mass and expansion of the shoulder girdle. If a man often seeks to bare the shoulder girdle area, then he probably also fills the amount of attention from the female, especially if this shoulder girdle is bled.
Chest area
This is the part of the chest that is susceptible to hairiness. This is the same fertile sign, since body hair starts from an increase in the level of dehydrotestosterone. Very often men are exposed to such a demonstration, who themselves are susceptible to behavior similar to narcissistic.
OPERATIVE LIE DETECTION ** Note that this is discussed in detail elsewhere
To get started, try to figure out the baseline for your interlocutor or negotiating partner. The baseline is when a person is relaxed. Observe how a person answers your questions in a normal state, how he behaves. Then ask the question that you really care about. Observe for 3-5 seconds how the person’s reaction will change. The stronger the contrast, the more likely it is that your question has hit the mark and the person is hiding something or misleading you.
NATURE DEPENDING ON PERCEIVED ‘TYPES’
If a man :
(I) He shaves his head: this man, as a rule, either is either wants to appear more than independent, relying mainly on physical strength, is close to the criminal world, or wants others to think so. It is straight and sharp. His image, as a rule, is supplemented with the characteristic attributes of ‘brother’ or bull – He shaves his head; this man, as a rule, either is either wants to appear more than independent, relying mainly on physical strength, is close to the criminal world, or wants others to think so. It is straight and sharp. His image, as a rule, is supplemented with the characteristic attributes of ‘brocade’ or bull. However, the shaven man with the appropriate body size and in a strict business suit will make an appropriate impression.
(II) Prefers a short haircut: such a man can be anyone, but he, most likely, adheres to traditional views on life. At the same time, studies have shown that men most often release the beard and mustache ‘for solidity’ in order to emphasise their social or age status or vice versa – as a certain sign of rebellion.
(III) Wears long hair or non-standard tails, an unusual haircut. This is a sign of a creative person, or who wants to appear as such, or the so-called ‘non-formal,’ a person who wants to show that the norms of modern society are not of particular value for him, he does not want to, but his outlook, most often, shocks the conservatives. (Note this perception and how we can use it to our advantage).
If a woman :
(II) Wears long hair, it gives in her a desire for femininity, for the ‘habitual’ role of the fair sex in this world, as the keeper of the home, the mother of the family, and at the same time as the seductress, the “temptress” of the male race. Such women often possess true feminine wisdom.
(II) Prefers a meek haircut: these are most often feminized women who adhere to modern views on life in which “everyone is equal.” Such ladies are most often ‘business women’, they have a business mind, they emphasise their independence from the opposite sex.
(III) She shaves her head baldly: by her nature she is a rebel and a lover of thrills, she has a non-standard thinking. Traction to extreme in her life can manifest itself in any of the areas, but it will definitely be available. A traditional family with such a woman is unlikely to be created, but it will never be boring with her.
CONSCIOUSNESS OF REQUIREMENT AT RECRUITMENT
In fact, the basis of recruitment is not the three concepts of recruitment that everyone knows (money, blackmail and ideology), but a sense of self-importance – being in demand, this is the main thing. Much was said about this during lectures around the mid-30s of the US, in the last century, and subsequently has appeared in books. And if we provide space for a man, will he be a naive immature adolescent, or will he be a bartender, a waiter, a conductor, a middle-aged man on the sidelines in British Telecom, a married woman with children, a student botanist, narcissus and gigolo, we will recruit. It doesn’t matter who the person is, the main thing is that he feels that he is really needed and his personal qualities, skills are appreciated and that serious people need them.
And the money is not so much needed. Let him realise in himself a super-concept that now he can rise above the games of other people and he will do a lot for you.
HOW TO DETERMINE THE RADICAL BY APPEARANCE
Appearance is one of the signs of determining the radical present, but it is not the main one.
If you have only a photograph or you only saw the person, then you can use these signs :
(I) An epileptoid is characterised by an athletic physique, aggressive gesticulation, an unkind gaze.
(II) For hysteroid – bright, contrasting, ultra-fashionable clothes, mannered gestures, posturing.
(III) For paranoids – the predominance of the classical style in the design of appearance, indicating gestures.
(IV) For emotivity – lack of sharp corners in clothes, free style of clothing, knitwear, tastefully selected items of clothing.
(V) Schizoid – asthenic physique, tall, eclectic, untidy, puppet walk, unnatural gesticulation.
(VI) Hypertimia – high motor activity, disregard for conventions, illustrating gesticulation, pyknic composition.
(VII) Anxious – little active, it is quiet, monotonous, the predominance of dark tones in clothing.
Do you have what prevails in appearance?
EXERCISES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF PERIPHERAL VISION
Most of you learned about operational psychology thanks to films about spies, the TV series Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy’, then someone read the book,and thought that with a little practice, they would ‘see people through’.
Most of them did not even presume the existence of graphology, operational psycho-diagnostics, cold and hot reading, and cranio-facial profile. If they did, they did not assume that this was all used for recruiting or for detecting lies. Someone knew the formula, but did not know that it is also used in profiling. One knowledge of facial expressions is not enough for the operational vision of the whole picture. Has anyone heard of Schulte’s tables? But the skill they develop is fundamental to tracking mimic actions.
Schulte Tables ** are tables in which cells are randomly placed certain information, often consecutive numbers. In the most standard version, this is a monochrome square table of 25 cells with randomly scattered numbers. Task : Find all the numbers in order in the shortest possible time. With proper and regular performance, the pace of perception of information develops and peripheral vision expands. From the development of which it depends; will you see the tension of the jaw (bumps) with your interlocutor, or will you miss it because you look into his/her eyes?
(** Schulte Tables appear here on separate page).
But as in the gym, if you are given a barbell, and you will roll it on the floor with your feet, you understand it yourself, there will be little confusion. In order to properly perform the exercise, and therefore, to quickly find all the numbers, you need to focus on the central cell of the table so that you can see the table completely. You will achieve the greatest result if during training you do not have horizontal and vertical movements with your eyes. It is difficult and, of course, at first you may have difficulties with performing, but with each workout your skill will increase, and the difficulties will disappear. The main thing is stable activities; it is enough to pay tables for 15-20 minutes a day. After two or three weeks of classes, you will probably feel that these tables are too simple for you. Then try the packaged options; two-colour, multi-color, asymmetrical, etc.
Do not exaggerate your knowledge and skills. Yes, of course, in some simple moments of everyday life, the knowledge you received from the TV series and popular science literature will help you, for example, to understand that your child was deceitful, saying that he hadn’t asked anything. But in order to consider him/herself at least an aspiring specialist, it is necessary to devote more than one year to the study of all aspects of science and more than one year to develop skills. No wonder they say – ‘Live and learn, and die a fool.’
