Personality test: The way you cross your arms during a conversation can reveal a lot about you

Non-verbal communication offers a reliable window into an individual's inner world, unveiling deep-seated truths. These assessments provide invaluable insights into behavior, communication style, preferences, and decision-making processes. Understanding these aspects fosters self-awareness, a vital step towards personal growth. Actions often convey more than words, such as how we cross our arms, which can reveal significant aspects of our personality.

Our right brain is linked with our cognitive skills such as emotion, intuitiveness, and creativity. Thus if you’re an artistic and spiritual person by nature then you keep your left arm over the right. It is easy for you to know what other people are thinking or even feeling if they often do not open up to you. But, when it comes to making meaningful decisions, you always let your instincts speak for you. These are the times when the stakes are high and people evaluate you, but overall you are ready to help others and are available at their beck and call, making you an empathetic person.

Our left brain is dominated by logic. Therefore, if you’re a rational thinker and you’re diligent and organised then you always keep your right arm over the left. You’re an animal lover and success always comes easily to you. You never let your emotions overpower you and you do not trust your instincts but let your brain do the calculations and then reach a wise decision. People fall in love with your sarcasm, wit, and intelligence, making you easy to approach and an individual with a good heart.

If you keep both of your hands resting on opposite arms then you equally use both sides of your brain. It also means that you’re emotional but you still use your logical side to maintain your relationships and agreements. You are a confident person and treat everybody equally around you and with the utmost respect, you present yourself and mark your words clearly, without keeping them in a delusion or haze. You attract people for being honest, helpful, kind, and loving.

Personality tests are designed to elicit information about an individual's motivation, interests, and preferences, in a systematical manner, depending upon their activities, situations, and style of interacting. These tests or assessments can be used in the workplace during recruitment primarily to know whether or not that person is a good fit for the role.

Popular personality tests are not scientifically sound and cannot be relied upon. The tests mainly capitalize on our desire to learn and feel about ourselves. They are a reflection of ourselves.
