I've been teaching people for years that one of the fastest ways to build your likeability is to match the facial expressions of the person in front of you. Some of those faces indicate that the person is moving from one mind set to another. But, there is a different kind of face that people make. It displays that person's level of emotional health.
Within the course of a one-minute chat, you should be able to determine someone's personality type configuration (in order), his weaknesses or insecurities, the extent to which he focuses on building rapport, communication style, level of negativity - and that's only part of it.
Let's turn the table on you. After a typical one-minute chat with a stranger, how much information do you know? Is it enough? Or, would you like to be more effective at reading people? I can promise you, if you get better at it, you will raise your level of success!
