5 Things That Could Tell Others A Lot About Your Personality Secrets


Sometimes we tend to judge people by their attitude rather than getting to know the person. Each of us also has our own unique threshold for functioning under duress, which when reached will result in the debilitation of our functioning. Meanwhile here are few ways in which we can guess a few personality secrets of people.

1.Handshakes

A firm handshake means a confident personality whereas a weak one means diffident type. If a person gives a handshake with his hand parallel to the ground, meaning he is a dominant and if his hand faces the ceiling, then he is a submissive type.

2. Punctuality

A proactive person and a procrastinator can always be distinguished on the basis of how he meets his engagements and deadlines. A Proactive person will be there on time because he is self-motivated, mentally organised and values  time whereas a procrastinator will be running here and there at the last hour because he has eventually set his ass on fire.

3. Body Language
