From the author: In the previous series of articles, the beginning was made of learning to secretly test any interlocutor through scanning his subconscious. Then the materials used in distance learning in psychotechnologies and psychotechniques for diagnosing the interlocutor’s psyche through the analysis of the unconscious kinetics of the interlocutor’s head and hands were presented. And along the way, we presented the results of scanning the subconscious of a number of famous figures in the country. Today we will continue to learn scanning the subconscious - remote psychodiagnostics through the analysis of the involuntary kinetics of the hands of your interlocutor and will give a psychological interpretation of the provisions: “Front lower lock”, “Back lock”, “Hands in pockets” , “Hands to the side WHEN HANDS TALK MORE ABOUT A PERSON THAN HIS LANGUAGE PART-2 What will be discussed... In the previous series of articles, the beginning was made of learning to secretly test any interlocutor through scanning his subconscious. Then the materials used in distance learning in psychotechnologies and psychotechniques for diagnosing the interlocutor’s psyche through the analysis of the unconscious kinetics of the interlocutor’s head and hands were presented. And along the way, we presented the results of scanning the subconscious of a number of famous figures in the country. Today we will continue to learn scanning the subconscious - remote psychodiagnostics through the analysis of the involuntary kinetics of the hands of your interlocutor and will give a psychological interpretation of the provisions: “Front lower lock”, “Back lock”, “Hands in pockets” , “Hands on Sides”, and in the next article - “Hands of the Invader”, a bunch of “Hand at the Face”. “Anterior lower lock”: Freudian “libido” or normal physiology? First - about a practically non-informative gesture - about the “front lower lock”... - Forgive the author, but if this gesture does not provide information, then why write about it? - I agree, it shouldn’t... only... only in public opinion it has some, let’s say, special interpretation... But first - about what the “front lower lock” looks like: hands in front (as if on the stomach) and slightly below, palm to palm or clasped in some other way (see Fig. 1 ). Psychoanalysts tried to connect this hand position with libido, but without appropriate argumentation to justify such an interpretation of sexual desire. But there is reason to accept an interpretation based on data from normal (not pathological) human anatomy and physiology. But first, about the experiment. During psychological training, your humble servant asks one of the students to stand up (which he almost never does) and talk about his organization (company). The listener gets up and begins his story, but at the same time he leans his hands lightly on the back of the chair in front. When the presenter asks to remove his hands from the back of the chair (which causes obvious surprise), the listener, continuing the story about his organization, takes the pen and “mechanically” begins to twirl it in his hands. When the presenter asks to put down the pen (which causes even greater surprise, bordering on irritation), the listener, now continuing the story without any enthusiasm, picks up the eyeglass case lying in front of him and begins to transfer it from hand to hand. And when he hears that he shouldn’t do this either, he... falls silent, at the same time experiencing obvious displeasure with the presenter... And the presenter knew why and why the speaker did this with his hands, because this was required by the peculiarities of the anatomy and physiology of human hands. And this feature lies in the fact that the muscles that flex the arms at the elbow joint are stronger in humans than the muscles that extend the arms at the elbow joint (this is how a person is designed, and perhaps we’ll talk a little later about why this is so). This means that the normal (anatomists say “physiological”) position of the arms is slightly bent at the elbow joint (flexors are stronger than extensors). And here’s another confirmation: try to lie on your back in the water and relax - your arms will take exactly this position: half-bent at the elbow joints. That's why when handsare free, they tend to take a position called in kinetics “anterior lower lock”. That is why the position is unnatural (not physiological) when a person stands with his arms down - the arms “ask” to be bent at the elbow joint. That is why when a person has the opportunity , while standing, he either touches the back of the chair in front (then his arms take a physiological position - slightly bent at the elbow joint), or picks up a pen, eyeglass case, or other object... (which was observed in the listener during the experiment, which he didn’t know about, but having found out, he received a portion of positive (compensatory) emotions from the presenter). But if there is nothing like that (no back of the chair, no handle in the hands) - then the “front lower lock” appears - arms crossed in lower abdomen. Normal (physiological) position (see Fig. 2). It is not normal when a person is required (whether an adult or a child) to stand - “hands down”; it’s not normal because it’s not physiological (parents, don’t demand from your kids: “Come on, put your hands down, you’re twirling them around!” - now you know why he’s like that...). Thus, the “front lower lock” does not carry any other semantic meaning except... physiological. And therefore, when you see such a kinetic sign, forget about it. If you see hands in a “back lock”... “Back lock”: hands behind your back (see Fig. 3), not necessarily intertwined, perhaps palm to palm. In Fig. Figure 4 shows four situations when one of those depicted has a “back lock” visible. Since in fragment (d) the “back lock” is forced, we will not explain the kinetics of the hands. The situations depicted in fragments (a) and (c) are so obvious that they do not require additional interpretation. The most indicative figure is in fragment (b): this “master of the situation” emanates clear confidence in his status, therefore he does not need hands as a means of protection, he can remove them, thereby demonstrating “I am not afraid of anyone”; a typical “extension from above.” As a survey of our listeners shows, the “back lock” kinetics is more likely combined with the “head of a ruler” than with the “head of an attentive”, and is also more similar to the “military bearing” than with the “slouched back.” Now, taking into account the information and argumentation presented above: Summary for psychodiagnostics. Most likely, you will not see a “back lock” on your interlocutor when you discuss any issues with him in the office. But if you notice similar kinetics in a lecturer or teacher, there is reason to believe that he clearly feels like an “extension from above” in relation to the listeners. And he certainly is not characterized now by a sense of respect for the audience, a sense of attention to them, much less a kind of servility, because the “extension from below” is not combined with the kinetics of “back lock”. And since we’re talking about a gesture associated with confidence, let’s talk about one more gesture - Hands in pockets - why “like a bully”? First: what does this kinetics look like - see Fig. 5. And now - about the interpretation of the “hands in pockets” gesture. As a child, the parents of one boy, weaning him from keeping his hands in his pockets, said: “Why are you keeping your hands in your pockets, like a hooligan!” And in fact: in the film “The Meeting Place Cannot Be Changed” one of the characters - “Blotter” - was parading down the street, walking and holding his hands in his pockets, it was a kind of chic. The answer to the question “why?” my listeners find when solving the following problem: “In front of you are two women dressed the same - both are wearing a modest suit. They stand and talk; at the same time, one of them constantly keeps her hands in her jacket pockets, while the second does not make such a gesture. It is known that one of them works as a nurse in a kindergarten, and the other is the head of one of the departments in the ministry (deputy minister). Question: which of them is more likely to keep their hands in their pockets: a nurse or a deputy? minister? Statistics from our surveys show: 93% of our listeners answer correctly - Deputy. minister. Hands in pockets, like hands behind your back (see above) - this is the position of the hands when it is problematic to quickly.
