Have you ever listened to how people greet each other?  While the words are very telling, so is the tone, pitch and volume of the voice.

If you are in an environment where you can listen to a person greet different people over several days such as an office, you do not need to know the person, or the people they greet–nor do you need to see them.  You simply have to hear them greet people to know precisely who they like and who they don’t.

It’s quite fascinating. 

When someone comes along that a person likes, the tone, pitch and volume of their greeting will communicate an upbeat tone.   And when it is someone they dislike, these three elements will vary down dramatically.

Be careful though, in observing this theory, you may not like what you find when this person greets you!

Sometimes that’s too much information, but very revealing nonetheless.
