1, the keenness of observation determines the amount of information you get from a person. In other words, only keen observation can better grasp the information of a person who meets for the first time as much as possible.

How to observe a person?

To observe a person, we must grasp such an order: bottom up. That is to say, first observe from his shoes. Some people may ask: Why not start with his face? In fact, once we observe a person's face from the beginning, it is easy for us to evaluate this person subjectively, thus affecting or ignoring a lot of important information about this person. Observing from the foot can avoid this situation very well.

First, look at his shoes. If the shoes are dirty and it hasn't rained recently, it means that this person doesn't care much about life hygiene. At the same time, we can infer that this person is not strict with life, and even make a hypothesis, perhaps this is his character. Then look at his pants, then look at his clothes, and finally look at his face. If there are some wrinkles or stains on the clothes, it can prove that some of the above conclusions are correct. At the same time, the ornaments on a person are also the main basis for identifying this person. Sometimes remembering personal things such as earrings, necklaces and rings on a person is often the key to identifying this person. (See Observation for details)

Next, you can observe this person's physique, such as the brawniness of arm muscles, height and body shape, and so on. The ornaments he wears are also key information, such as earrings, purple necklaces and silver watches. Sometimes decorations are also an important basis for identifying a person.

After searching all kinds of information, you can make a comprehensive evaluation of this person.

A way to tell a person's occupation.

For example, the similarities of migrant workers are: generally strong physique, dark skin, ragged clothes, not paying much attention to clothes and a series of details. If you see such a person in the street, you can immediately see that he is a migrant worker.

Another example: a person who often uses a computer will have calluses at the root of his right palm because he often uses a mouse;

If he works in a bank, the calluses between his thumb and forefinger are thicker;

If it is a driver, then in his hands, the part that often holds the steering wheel is particularly thick;

If it is an injection doctor, he has calluses on his thumb, index finger and middle finger, because the doctor needs three fingers to take the injection. This is the habit of general injection doctors;

If he is a soldier, he must have a strong physique, dark skin, fast eating, straight back, stubborn temper and even rigidity. The whole person exudes a special temperament, which can only be mastered slowly by observing soldiers, but it is difficult to master this special temperament without observing.

You can know a person's occupation without asking the client. The best way is to know the characteristics of many occupations and be able to memorize and use them freely. If not, we can infer his professional scope according to the information he revealed when he spoke, which requires some associative ability.

How to train observation?

To exercise observation, we should start with the characteristics of things, environment and people around us. For example: the position of your desk has changed a little, a new friend of yours has double eyelids, and the traffic on the road today is a little less than before (from then on, you can infer why it is less and what happened), a stranger you met in the restaurant is left-handed, the expressions and clothes of people around you, and so on.

Observation is an intentional act, not a casual "look". By observing the stairs, you can calculate their levels and heights. Just looking at it, you may only remember it as a staircase.

When you start practicing observation, it is best to cultivate conscious observation. For an ordinary and impermanent thing, you should observe its characteristics carefully and pay attention to those places that are difficult for ordinary people to find. Moreover, comparison is also a good way to train observation. Such as: what happened to the dust on the window today and yesterday, the change of the stock market and the speculation on its future trend. Observation is not only to observe its internal essence, but also to find the changes of things.

In short, with an observing heart, put it into practice, and in the long run, you can train your subconscious observation ability, that is, you will habitually observe everything. This is a good habit.
