profiling now that's a term that has very negative connotations about it and
the reason for that is because of something known as racial profiling
which is the act of casting harsh negative judgments on a person or people
group due to something as superficial as the color of their skin their
nationality or even their accent fortunately that's not what we're
working with today because profiling is not confined to such narrow-minded and
ignorant judgments profiling is defined as the recording and analysis of a
person's psychological and behavioral characteristics so as to assess or
predict their capabilities in a certain sphere or to assist in identifying a
particular subgroup of people as a deductionist many variables and
factors come to mind in this regard but in reality we're able to break the
information that we're looking for up into two main categories that'll be not
verbal and physical Jordan the gentleman who runs this channel and I have decided
to break these two different categories up into two separate video series I'm
visiting you today with the first episode of the non verbal series that
I'll be hosting over at my side and he is currently over at my side which is
observe giving you the first episode of the physical evidences which he'll be
hosting the rest of here so after you're done watching this video go ahead and
hit subscribe and follow either the link in the description the info card at the
top or the thumbnail at the end of this video over to my channel to watch his
video make sure you subscribe to both channels so that you can get your
complete picture to the introduction of profiling
so what do I mean by nonverbal evidence well what I mean by that is the
behavioral and gesture based evidences that point to a certain background
upbringing culture or something along those lines
now before continuing this is not a fully exhaustive course on profiling
while there is a lot of good information in here this is meant to serve as a
baseline for the entire study that is profiling I will break up your
observation into four parts and those four parts will be broken up into four
separate videos two parts to deal with personality in the other two parts to
deal with background now as a final reminder in the realm of nonverbal
communication everything that you observe or you read must be read or
observed in context with further observation if you need more on what
that means go ahead and hop over to my channel after this and watch some of the
other videos but as of right now I'm just gonna assume that you have taken
that to consideration and we're gonna continue on from there
without further ado let's dive in
the first of the nonverbal evidences that we will examine will be in relation
to insecurity if a person is insecure their body
language will present various gestures that indicate that exact emotion it
might appear in a person's face by irregular eye contact lip biting or
licking and a tucked chin they might cross their arms bite their
nails and wring their hands as well finally many insecure people will have
irregular foot movements such as interlocking feet or a mix of both
simply attempting to learn all of the insecurities signals that a person can
perform will be an overwhelming task what is absolutely essential is learning
the why of body language it is good to know that a person will probably fold
their arms when they're feeling negative feelings but what is better to know is
why they will fold their arms when they are feeling those negative feelings with
this in mind when a person is feeling insecure a question you need to ask
yourself is what would be some emotions that they might be feeling nervousness
is a common feeling during insecurity so if a person feels incompetent for a
situation they will often feel nervous that they won't be good enough that
nervousness causes them to have a dry mouth which then would explain why they
lick or bite their lips another common emotion during insecurity is the feeling
of being threatened when a person feels threatened they wish to block themselves
off therefore they fold their arms and legs the reason for this gesture is a
semi conscious and unconscious effort to create a shield between them and
whatever they perceive as the threat be it a person an object or circumstance
yet another emotion that is prevalent during insecurity is the sensation of
being overwhelmed if a person is feeling overwhelmed they want to detach
themselves from whatever is causing their discomfort this will show in their
body language by them attempting to make themselves look smaller and as a result
go unnoticed the most common and noticeable method a person will use to
achieve this effect as to hunched over the person will even seem to collapse in
on themselves if you can understand the why of a gesture or expression you are
seeing you can then begin to pay more attention for other related gestures or
expressions for instance if you see someone wringing their hands and
covering their mouth you can then begin looking for more nervous gestures and
insecurities gestures however you must tread carefully in
doing this for one of the most detrimental things you can do while
reading a person is to have the preconceived notion of what that person
is feeling in other words if you see someone with the above gestures and you
automatically assume that they are nervous then you will begin to only
notice what you anticipate this can cause an inaccurate reading and a
tendency to bypass other tells without even realizing it now if you're sitting
there thinking you literally just contradicted yourself then you are now
beginning to understand the difficulty of the art of body language reading it
takes a tedious balance between assuming too much and anticipating tells to be
able to achieve and increase read accuracy so the proper mindset for the
above instance would be notice the possible nervous gestural sentence
cluster keep in mind various other gestures that might lead to nervousness
store it in the back of your attention continue observing for any and all
gestures regardless on if they fit into the previous noticed cluster of
nervousness as I said before Jordan and I are continuing this series on our
individual channels the physical evidence will be continued here on the
art of deduction and the nonverbal evidence will be continued over at
Observe which is my channel so if you haven't already hop over to observe and
check out his video the introduction to physical evidences of profiling and get
a complete picture of the beginning of this series but as always thanks for
watching all my aspiring detectives out there
