What Are Your Hands Telling About Your Personality?

Overview

Objectives/Goals The objective is to determine if you can tell an introvert from an extrovert based on different hand gestures. Methods/Materials Interviews were held for teenagers, between the ages of 12-16. The interviews were videotaped and later, the performed gestures were charted. After, all participants took the Myers Briggs Personality Test to use as a comparison for charted results. Results In most cases, my hand gesture test, and the Myers Briggs Test matched. The most common gesture was hands on the surface - an extroverty characteristic. The least common gesture was clentched fists - an introvert characteristic. Conclusions/Discussion The hypothesis was correct that you can tell an introvert from an extrovert based on different hand gestures. In most cases, both tests matched, proving that the hypothesis is correct.
