How do you walk

The way you walk, actually says a lot about your personality. Whether you're on a job interview, a first date, or you're just walking down the street, here are ten different types of walks and what they mean . . .

1.) IF YOU'RE A FAST-WALKER . . . You might also be a fast WORKER . . . which is a good signal to send out in a job interview. But it also might mean you tend to overlook things.

2.) IF YOU STRUT . . . You look confident and capable, but you also look like you have a big ego, which is a turn-off on a date. Strut around the office if you want, but make sure you also smile and show an interest in your co-workers.

--If you don't, they'll think you're an egomaniac.

3.) IF YOU MAKE A LOT OF NOISE . . . You're not afraid of being noticed. When you take heavy steps or wear shoes that click against the ground, people tend to assume you're important. But if you work in a quiet office, you might just be annoying them.

4.) IF YOU'RE A SILENT WALKER . . . You probably DON'T like being noticed. And you might also be the type of person who lets their hard work go unnoticed.

5.) IF YOU LAG BEHIND . . . It sends a signal that you either can't keep up, or you're not interested in other people, which is a problem in the workplace. And when you're out with a group of friends, it looks like you're being antisocial.

6.) IF YOU WALK WITH YOUR SHOULDERS SLUMPED . . . You look like you have no confidence. It can make potential bosses think you're incompetent, and on a DATE, it can make you come across as a loser.

7.) IF YOU WALK WITH YOUR EYES STRAIGHT AHEAD . . . People will think you're confident and focused. Good salesmen tend to do it.

8.) IF YOU WALK REALLY SLOW . . . It might annoy people you're walking with. But a slow walker is usually thoughtful and detail oriented. Slow strolls are good for dates, but pick up the pace if you're walking down the hallway with your boss.

9.) IF YOU ZIG-ZAG . . . You're probably not the most-efficient person in the world. If it takes you twice as long as it should to get from point A to point B, your boss will assume you waste a lot of time in general.

10.) IF YOU STARE AT THE GOURND . . . You're focused on the "here and now" instead of thinking about the future. You probably tend to over-think things, which isn't necessarily bad. But be sure to at least make eye contact.
