WAY YOU DANCE
KEY TO YOUR PERSONALITY
Want to gauge a prospective partner’s personality?
Invite him or her to the dance floor, as study says that the way one 
Geoff Luck of the University of Jyvaskyla in Finland. Who led the study, was quoted by the Daily Telegraph as saying, “Music is known to evoke strong emotions in people and emotions can be expressed through bodily movement.
“People use body motions as reliable indicators of others’ personality types and even the movements of robots have been shown to elicit attributes of ‘personality’ by observers’.
In fact, for the study, the researchers studied the dance moves of 60 volunteers who had been selected from 900 people who conducted personality tests. The dancers were picked due to having strong scores in one of the five main personality traits being studied.
Each of the volunteers were asked to dance spontaneously to 30 different tracks from six different genres of music. Using motion capture technology, the researchers recorded the dance styles of all the volunteers as they were played each musical clip before analyzing the movements using computer software.
Subsequently, using personality tests, they assessed volunteers into one of five “types”. They then observed how, each members of each group danced to different kinds of music.
The researchers found that extroverts moved their bodies around most on the dance floor, often with energetic and exaggerated movements of their head and arms; neurotic individuals danced with sharp, jerky movements of their hands.
Agreeable personalities had smoother dancing styles, making use of the dance floor by moving side to side while swinging their hands.
