Research indicates that we determine whether we feel someone is trustworthy in just 1/10th of a second.
Did you read that? What do you think… are they right?
1/10th of a second, a mere blink of the eye to conclude whether we have belief, confidence, faith and security about someone. That is pretty powerful, wouldn’t you agree?
How are we sized up? Sometimes it is just a glance. Within a split second you can see the spark of lack thereof in a person. We are appraised from head to toe. Our demeanor, mannerisms, body language as well as our grooming and accessories are all looked upon and judged.
During the first few seconds of any meeting an important and large part of the impression is already made. The first few seconds is all you have to impress a complete stranger. Before you utter a single word an impression has already been made by someone which can literally last a lifetime.
The truth is: first impressions are the most important component of an interaction. Becoming fully aware of how we look (how our hair, our clothes, our grooming even the shape of our bodies) has a powerful effect on how others perceive us and can make a difference between being ignored, being accepted and being absolutely great. Knowing this gives you the opportunity to work on making the best first impression. (excerpt from Tonya Reiman, America’s Body Language Expert)
