AlvarezFirst ImpressionsHuman BehaviorHuman behavior is influenced by culture, attitudes, emotions, values, ethics, authority, relationships, hypnosis, persuasion, coercion and genetics (Wikipedia, 2011). This falls within a range where some behaviors are common, unusual, acceptable, and others outside of acceptable boundaries (Wikipedia, 2011). First Impressions First impressions are created by a composite of signals emitted by a new experience (Flora, 2004). The judgment of these impressions depends on the observer and the person observed (Flora, 2004). When you first meet someone, it takes about three seconds to be evaluated by the observer (Mind Tools, 1996-2011). During this time, the person forms an opinion about you based on your appearance, body language, behavior, and the way you dress (Mind Tools, 2996-2011). Impressions are important to us because they cannot be reserved and set the tone for all relationships that follow (Mind Tools, 1996-2011).

They get their motivation from others, need a lot of stimulation, and express their movements (Changing Minds, 2002-2011). Rather than thinking about changing the world, they want to change it (Changing Minds, 2002-2011). They often have a relaxed and confident attitude and are understandable and approachable (Changing Minds, 2002-2011). Before thinking, they act and like to communicate openly (Changing Minds, 2002-2011). They show energy and enthusiasm (Changing Minds, 2002-2011). They are often perceived as superficial and arrogant by introverts (Changing Minds, 2002-2011). After reading Joh's first script...... middle of paper ......each other (Agno, 2011). Introverts get their energy internally and extroverts get their energy from being with other people (Agno, 2011). It's all part of human behavior.ReferencesAgno. (2011). The leaders' blog.
