Here are some of his most useful pointers: 1. Use common sense Context is everything - crossed arms may mean someone is being defensive or is trying to cheat you, but if their chair doesn’t have arms or it’s cold then there might be much simpler reason they’re doing it.

Nervous energy The higher someone’s activity levels, the more likely it is they’re excited or interested in what you’re saying. Women will bounce their feet if they’re interested in a man, and men do it if they’re nervous, says research from the University of Manchester.

Don’t focus on individual signs There’s no such thing as a single “tell” that’s a foolproof way of knowing what someone’s saying with their body. Look instead for clusters of actions - if you notice someone is bouncing their feet and sitting the same way as you and mimicking what you say, you’re far more likely to get an accurate read.

Be conscious of your biases If you already like or dislike someone it’s going to affect your judgement. And we are all prone to flattery and giving the benefit of the doubt to people who we think are similar to us.

8. Most importantly, always look for the bigger picture “Your abilities will make a quantum leap if you realise that body language is part of a bigger context and a bigger cluster and you start monitoring the other facets of behavioral interaction: voice, appearance, clothing, etc,” Barker writes.
