Reading Body Language with Emotional Intelligence

Studies show that your body language communicates up to 50 percent of what you want to say. Paying attention to a person’s body language can help you begin to understand what he or she might really be feeling. Here are some important body-language signs to watch for:



  • Anger: Hands on hips posture or arms folded, pounding heart, sweating and rapid breathing, fists clenched, eyes staring



  • Happy: Relaxed body, smiling, open arms and legs, relaxed and prolonged eye contact



  • Anxious: Restlessness, pounding heart, rapid breathing



  • Interest: Leaning forward



  • Fury: Cold focused stare, loud and rapid speech



  • Sadness: Drooping body, downcast eyes, mouth turned down



  • Surprise: Eyebrows up, wide eyes, mouth open, movement backward



  • Embarrassment: Red or flushed face, looking away from others, avoiding direct eye contact, false smile or grimace
