If you have these signs you are people smart! Being people smart is all about building healthy, positive and effective relationships. Using diplomacy and tact, and having the ability to ease the atmosphere – even in very high conflict situations. For this, you must have the capacity to understand others and to know how to express your feelings, opinions, and desires in an assertive manner that does not offend others.
A people smart person is someone with a developed interpersonal intelligence
One of the key components of interpersonal intelligence is being able to see a situation from the other person’s perspective. You understand that not everyone has the same personality, values, and views like you. That being said, your gut reaction is always accurate! It’s a sign that you can see through people at first glance. And, you’re able to know if someone’s secretly jealous of you. Due to your ability to see a situation from many angles, you can predict the course of a story or event. This gives you the chance to protect yourself from inconvenient moments. Or, to recognize an opportunity you have been waiting for.
One of the main signs you are people smart is having an advanced ability to read body language
You are aware of the slightest changes in someone’s attitude or behavior, and you can tell when someone is lying or trying to fool you. However, even when circumstances force you to interact with unpleasant people, you don’t let your emotions rule your conversation. You remain non-judgmental, avoid criticism and ask more questions if you want to understand the root of someone’s thinking.
You give great advice
When someone talks to you about their personal problems, you don’t offer clichés and standard solutions. Instead, you try to understand their situation from the inside and find the best solution that matches their personality. Being people smart, you always find reasons to give compliments as well. You’re sincere in how you do it, and you’re genuinely happy for the success of others. When you agree with others, you don’t agree with them just to agree – you actually find a reason to agree.
You have a unique way of connecting with people. You believe that every individual is interesting, in their own way. People enjoy being in your presence, and they know that they can always count on you. If you have these signs you are people smart, and you build stronger relationships, discover interesting facts about others, and find out what motivates people.
