How can you assess a person?
- The way we evaluate people, our subjective opinion of them, and depends on what we ourselves are. As a rule, we see in people those traits of character that are in ourselves. In this case, usually these are some negative qualities: envy, anger, laziness, contortion. That is, if a person has, for example, anger in large numbers, then he will also consider other people to be angry, violent, aggressive
- If a person often deceives other people, or dreams of deceiving, he will feel that all people around him want himin turn, "pout."If a person is honest with himself and others, then it never enters his head that he may be fooled somewhere. The point here is not naivety. Very often such people are not at all kind and do not live in "pink glasses", but they can not foresee cases when they are used or deceived by
- . This is due to the fact that we interpret the behavior of a person with respect to one's own behavior. In other words, our subconscious( or unconscious) always asks itself: "How would I do?".And from other people, we are waiting for the same actions that
could have done themselves. By what criteria do people assess in the first place?
People evaluate each other on the following parameters:
- appearance
- level of education, availability of diplomas, certificates
- mental faculties
- material condition
- social behavior and social circle
- character( strengths / weaknesses)
This is a short list. It lists the main factors of human evaluation of a person. Of course, it is now customary to prepare that appearance is not the main thing, but it is scientifically proven that the first impression on a person is produced by the appearance of the interlocutor.
Some people first of all pay attention to some separate features. It can be hair, nose shape, shoes, lipstick color, even the shape of the eyebrows plays a role. Other people perceive the whole image at once.
- The first to understand whether a person likes them or not, it is enough just a second glance at what is paramount for them( hair, nails, shoes, jacket).After that, they usually already understand how communication will continue, and whether it will ever be
- . People who are able to perceive the whole image are much simpler. For example, a person may have a nonideal shape of the nose, but pure ironed clothes from the latest collection of a fashion designer. Most likely, the impression of such a person will produce extremely positive
- There is a small percentage of people who do not have a certain impression until they personally communicate with the person. They do not care how a person looks, what his hair color is, what he is wearing. For him, his important intellectual abilities or character. But, it is enough for people of this type to talk to a person for 5 minutes to understand who is in front of him.
- . A person is inclined to judge other people, being guided by someone else's opinion. Someone said something to someone, that's a new opinion. Therefore it turns out that without knowing the person, we already hate him or adore
- . Many people evaluate a person by their voice. In their opinion, the person's voice is based on the whole of his life and character.
Do people evaluate in appearance?
- As mentioned above, some people tend to evaluate other people only in appearance, without delving into its problems and intellectual capabilities.
- Unfortunately for such people, the image of a person can vary very much during the day. For example, in the morning a woman walks around the house disheveled, with a mug of coffee and an elongated T-shirt. If she is seen by her neighbor at that moment, she will find this woman a slob and will dislike her
- . After an hour, the woman puts herself in order, puts on beautiful shoes, an office suit consisting of a fitted jacket and a pencil skirt, removes the hair in a neat hairdo, makes a strict make-up. The same neighbor, seeing such a woman, will think that she is a real bitch with a snake temper, cold and prudent
- . In the evening, a woman returns from work, puts on a luxurious short dress, dissolves curls, makes bright make-up and goes to the club. This time the neighbor will think that his neighbor is too vulgar and superficial
- And if instead of the club a woman goes on a date and wears a more closed dress, puts her hair in a less magnificent hairdo, does not make such a bright make-up, then the neighbor will say that she is boasting about her wealthto the whole world or looking for a rich companion, that she is usually a sloppy, calculating bitch, and now dressed up for the sake of the case of
. From this example, it is very simple to conclude that the appearance of a person is judged very, very often. However, to the truth this hardly has anything to do with it.
First impression of a person
- There is an opinion that the first impression of a person is the most true. But is it so
- From the examples given earlier in the article it is clear that people judge each other not always objectively. Therefore, it makes sense to get upset if you do not like the first minute of acquaintance with a person, there is no special
- . Some people can easily change their impression within a few hours or even days,
acquaintance Appearance and first impression
- Do not missthe ability to make a good first impression with the help of appearance. It is clear that each person has his own tastes, preferences. You can not like everything in principle
- Nevertheless, in order to form a good opinion about yourself at the first meeting, it is enough to "join" the team if acquaintance occurs immediately with a group of people. It is useful to know what these people are keen to show them their interest in their activities. Your appearance should also respond to the general style of
- . If you are getting acquainted with a person 1 on 1, do not put pressure on him and show your "I".Yes, even your appearance can scream: "Look at me! I'm in charge here! ".There is nothing better than the naturalness of
The first impression of a man
To make a positive first impression on a man is quite simple in spite of public opinion.
First of all, men pay attention to:
- figure, especially on the "rear view"
- manner of communication
- posture
- hair
- nails. Very long or dirty nails scare men
- clothes
To make a good impression on a man, it does not necessarily have to jump near him for hours. It is enough to be direct and natural in communicating with him. Do not be vulgar and too rude. In men, it is useful to forgive care in some situations, even if it is not really what you need. But do not ask them to calculate the cost of products for you, for example. You expose yourself stupid.
Many men do not like very bright colors in clothes and makeup. This they cause the relevant associations. But grooming and femininity like the vast majority of men.
It's very difficult to change the first impression of a man about himself. Unlike women, men are more logical and consistent. But they can not think as flexibly as a woman. Therefore, it is very difficult to change the first impression.
How to form a positive first impression?
There are certain rules that will help you keep about yourself after almost every acquaintance a good impression:
- neatness. The clothes should not have holes, stains, foreign hair
- clean hair
- clean teeth
- a well-groomed clean face without toothpaste, traces of the handle or spreading cosmetics
- your clothes should at least somehow fit together. For example, if a woman wears a glamorous short dress over tattered jeans and her legs have rubber boots, it is unlikely she will make a good impression.
- correctly delivered speech without parasitic words
- accessories must also be properly selected. If there is a round earring on one ear and a square on the other, looking like her image will be extremely ridiculous.
- natural behavior without excessive pretentiousness.
. There is no second chance to make a first impression
In fact, you can change the impression of yourself. But this will already be the second, third or fourth impression. But the first impression postpones the trace on all further communication. Especially in its early stages.
Of course, people tend to change, but when hiring, the employer will judge you at this point in time, he does not care much about how you will be in 5 or 10 years. He chooses an employee now, which means he judges you in the present tense. Therefore, it is always important to look good, because there is no second chance to make a first impression.
Errors of the first impression of
It is worth remembering that what we see depends on how we look. It is worth looking at a person a little differently, and from a brazen arrogant type, he turns into a nice smiling young man, always ready to help.
Because of a lack of life experience or knowledge, a person very often judges wrong. In the article, an example was given earlier with a neighbor and a girl. This neighbor is just an example of a narrow-minded and petty person. Of course, the opinion of such people should not be guided. If you find out in the person of a neighbor yourself - immediately change your views on the world. And first of all, evaluate your mistakes.
First impression is deceptive
The first impression is deceptive for people who are used to not change their opinion about people. Those who have a flexible mind, are able to appreciate a person correctly and see in him who he really is.
You can dress as you like. Dye your hair in any color. The person from this will not change. He will not be more stupid or cleverer. But the opinion about him with each of his transformations will change in a diametrically opposite direction.
