Sometimes gait is the only source of information about a person. But that's a lot.
By the way a person walks, you can learn about his profession, temperament, and even his state of health.
According to Jung
Psychologists have long understood that one can determine character by gait.
Based on the system of energy-dynamic dichotomies developed by Jung, people can be divided into 4 types:
- rational/irrational introverts,
- extroverts are rational/irrational.
A decisive, uniform, impetuous, energetic gait betrays an extrovert-rational. This is a type of people with a linear-assertive temperament.
An unstable, confused, but rather fast gait with sharp changes in course and stops is characteristic of irrational extroverts. The temperament of such a person in psychology is called flexible-reversible.
The gait of rational introverts can be called heavy with sharp corners, such people bypass obstacles only at the last moment, believing until the last that "the wall will not move away."
Irrational introverts usually walk slowly, confusedly, often distracted not only by external, but also by internal signals. The pace of the gait may be interrupted by uncomfortable shoes or clothing. The temperament of such people is receptive-adaptive. I do not believe!
Interestingly, actors were among the first to discover the relationship between gait and human condition.
The patriarch of the theatre, Konstantin Stanislavsky devoted much time to the study of gait.
It would be stupid if the actor playing Oblomov starts marching around the stage, and the person playing Chatsky starts shuffling his feet on the stage.
Walking always says something therefore, it is especially important for actors to learn to keep it under control.
The Stanislavsky system implies getting used to the image, so without walking anywhere.
However, the master's reflections on gait would be useful to read to people far from the stage.
Konstantin Lvovich wrote, recalling the lesson:
"The energy moves not only through the arms, the spine, the neck, but also the legs. It excites the action of the leg muscles and causes the gait, which is extremely important on stage.
In life, we all walk incorrectly, while the stage gait should be the way nature created it, according to all its laws. Therein lies its main difficulty.
Stanislavsky urged people not only to study their gait, he urged them to learn to walk again, compared the human motor apparatus with an ideal mechanism, maintaining a balance in the work of which it is possible to control not only emotions, but also the work of internal organs.
Stanislavsky singled out several signs of a correct gait.
- First, it must be smooth,
- secondly, the socks should be placed slightly outward when placed,
- thirdly, it must be continuous.
A person should move in such a way that "sliding is felt, and not pushes from top to bottom and back."
“We must try,” wrote Stanislavsky, “to apply these requirements to gait, regardless of the size of steps and speed.”
How not to walk
Many of us walk wrong.
The most harmful extremes for psychological and physical tone- this is walking as if falling, when the head flies in front of the body and, on the contrary, a gait in which the body tilts back so that a person does not see his own feet.
- The first gait forms uncertainty, haste, indiscipline, substitution for the performance of real deeds by reflection.
- The second is excessive external self-confidence while maintaining internal clamps.
One of the effective ways to correct such a gait is to practice of "underwater gait".
- You need to try to walk as if you are moving underwater.
- In this case, the chin should be horizontal to the ground, the gaze is directed straight ahead.
- At the same time, you should try to push off the ground from the arch of the foot and remove the muscle locks from the cervical girdle so that there is no hypercontrol of the head.
Gait and health
By the way a person walks, one can judge his health.
From health problems, the gait sometimes changes simply beyond recognition.
At the same time, a person who has something hurts often may not even notice how his gait has changed, because he unconsciously tries to hide his illness from others.
Doctors call this walk antalgic.
About back pain says "wooden walk".
About foot problems(corns, corns, microtraumas of the toes) - "easy gait".
During peroneal nerve injury a person develops a "cock's gait". It is also characterized by the shortest possible contact with the surface.
Shoulders bent forward, when a person tries to close his chest while walking, may indicate about problems with the gastrointestinal tract, digestive system.
Walking "like on prostheses" says about joint problems, possible arthritis, arthrosis.
For neck problems(myositis, osteochondrosis) a person tries to "carry his head like a crystal vase."
Excessively straight posture while walking, as well as the fact that a person bends over with the whole body - sign of Bechterew's disease.
Uncertain gait, when a person walks as if by touch, can speak about vegetovascular dystonia, problems with pressure.
More walks
There are many types of walking.
And each of us at different periods of his life uses one or the other type without even realizing it.
There is a so-called puppet walk(another name is parkinsonian), when the arms are not involved when walking, the steps are small, and the body does not bend.
drunken walk scientifically called atactic.
With a fox gait a person walks straight along one line, steps on his toes, does not step to the sides.
With a hysterical gait big sharp steps, stop instantaneous.
We can all easily define senile, infantile and dancing gait.
And of course you have to say about professional specifics. You can hardly confuse the gait of a sailor and the gait of a general. published .

Among the many methods for determining the character of a person by appearance, the most unusual, perhaps, can be considered the method of the Japanese professor Yahiro Hirosawa. For 30 years, Hirosawa scrupulously studied ... soles. After examining over 600 thousand copies, he came to the conclusion that information about the physical and mental state of a person is no worse than in the face or hand, can be obtained by looking at shoes. “You only need to be able to read the “written” on the shoes,” says the professor. In his opinion, if the heel is erased on the inner edge, the man is indecisive, and the woman has a good character. If the heel is worn along the outer edge - its owner is an enterprising person, and if the heel is very curved outward - the owner of the heels is prone to carelessness. An evenly worn male heel indicates the friendliness of the owner of the shoe. If we are talking about a woman's heel, his mistress is most likely a good mother.
In fairness, it should be noted that the priority here does not belong to the observant Japanese. Long before psychology took shape as an independent science, the French shoemaker Jean-Baptiste de André and his Italian colleague Salvatore Ferragamo, by the way the soles of a particular person were erased, made the following conclusions: erased across the entire width - quiet; only the inner side is erased - greedy; the outer side is erased - wasteful; the backs of the heels are worn out - stubborn, unyielding.
These conclusions are probably not unfounded. If we imagine that one who walks slyly, almost on tiptoe, rather tramples the soles across the entire width; one who proudly strides, legs wide apart, wears out the outside more; and the one who steps firmly and confidently puts a heavy load on his heels, then the estimates of observant shoemakers will not seem so stretched. There was even a proposal to found a new science - scarpology - to determine the character of a person by his shoes. But its practical value would be small. After all, walking in worn-out shoes is a bad form that most people try to avoid. In addition, when meeting with a person, his soles are not so easy to see.
But one way or another, the main idea of all such reasoning is in principle true. Shoes wear out depending on the manner of walking, and gait is a clear indication of the psychological state of a person. Of course, this state can change, and the gait changes accordingly - we move towards an event that promises to be pleasant in a completely different way, or we trudge to serve some boring duty. The gait also affects the general attitude of a person, so it can tell something about those traits of his character and personality that are quite constant. But even more eloquently, it testifies to the momentary state of a person, his mood and intention.
Walking can tell a lot to a careful observer. Father Brown, the hero of the detective stories of G.K. Chesterton, was able to detect the criminal by his gait, and only by ear. While in a private club, he heard that in the corridor there was a man who was moving in some unusual way: either minced with a hurried gait, or stepped smoothly, slowly. It was important that all those present - gentlemen, members of the club, and waiters invited on the occasion of the celebration - were dressed in identical-looking black tailcoats. But it is clear that the obliging waiters moved hurriedly, while the gentlemen, in anticipation of a meal, could afford to walk around sedately. The criminal, who did not belong to either one, but was also dressed in a tailcoat, was waiting for a moment to steal the silverware. In front of a member of the club, he began to mince and gave the impression of a waiter, to whom the gentleman would not pay any attention. Faced with the waiter, he drew himself up and began to step majestically. Thus, everyone he met mistook him for a "member of the other team." But the sound of his footsteps indicated to the astute priest that he did not belong to any, which made it possible to remove the suspicion of theft from both the waiters and the members of the club.
Pater Brown is a literary character. And here is what psychologists I. Gorelov and V. Engalychev write about a very real person: “One of our acquaintances, who sells his talent and qualifications as a psychologist in one of the countless offices“ for acceleration and intensification ”, amuses himself during working hours by hearing steps passing along the corridor, confidently names their height, gender and even nationality, and at the same time makes mistakes quite rarely. In an attempt to discover his secret, we reasoned as follows. Our friend knows the distance between the two turns of the corridor, at which footsteps are heard. Mentally counting the number of steps, he finds out how many of them fit at a given distance, that is, determines the length of the step. And then, using a simple formula for the correspondence between a person’s height and the length of his step, it is not difficult to find out the height itself. The floor is determined by the volume and fraction (heels) of steps, by the degree of pressure on the surface of the corridor floor. But how the nationality of those passing by is recognized, we have not been able to “calculate”. We suspect that the matter is not clean and there is definitely some kind of relationship between gender and nationality. At least, purely visually, the heads of departments, as a rule, are sedate overweight men of the indigenous nationality, and the secretaries are easily fluttering creatures from "migrants". To know the national composition of the entire institution ... "
Sometimes gait observations are not done for fun at all. American experts in this field were repeatedly invited for consultations at the FBI when it was required to identify hierarchical relationships in criminal groups. Imagine that the detectives managed to get a video recording of a conversation between several mafiosi, made from a great distance. It is impossible to catch the words, you can only follow the movements of people walking by. Observers have found that self-satisfied, arrogant people can "report" these properties of their gait. Their chins are raised high, their hands move with exaggerated energy, their legs are like wooden ones. The whole gait is somewhat forced, with an unconscious calculation to impress. Such pacing is characteristic of a leader whose subordinates mince a little behind, like ducklings after ducks. This simple observation allowed specialists to almost unmistakably establish who is who in the mafia clan. Interestingly, during the Cold War, professional Sovietologists also resorted to similar observations in order to determine the real significance of this or that figure in the intricate hierarchy of the Kremlin leaders.
Observation of gait allows us to draw other interesting conclusions. As already noted, the manner of movement largely depends on what goal a person is striving for. To those goals from the achievement of which we expect rewards, we rush with more energy than to those that promise trouble. The normal speed of movement in a neutral state of mind is two steps per second. A person walks more slowly (wanders, weaves) when he does not have a specific goal or when he does not strive too hard to achieve the goal; in this case, the pace of walking is one step per second. If, on the contrary, it is desirable to achieve the goal as soon as possible, the steps become more frequent and wider. In this case, a person steps mainly on his toes and immediately pushes off, as in a sprint. This unconsciously achieves two advantages: first, you can move quietly in order to sneak up on someone or something unnoticed; secondly, it is easy to switch from this way of walking to a real run, so that, if necessary, to overtake an elusive goal.
Walking with wide, sweeping steps is more common in men than in women. They say that this is how Peter the Great walked - the embodiment of purposefulness and energy. At least, this is how he is depicted on the famous canvas of V. A. Serov. According to this manner of walking, one can conclude about extroversion, enterprise, activity and diligence. If such walking is accompanied by a rhythmic swaying of the arms and, possibly, of the entire torso, then in this case it rather signals that we are dealing with a person who lives for today, is completely in the power of his impulses and is not inclined to submit to someone else's influence.
If walking is accompanied by disproportionate swaying and conspicuous waving of the arms, it is distinguished by emphatically fast steps, then it seems that the movements surpass the actual energy of a person. Thus, troublesomeness and efficiency are manifested, often devoid of true content.
Resounding walking, accentuated clatter of shoes reveals incontinence of character, arrogance. Often at the same time, the raised tone, as it were, compensates for the lack of real self-confidence.
Short or small steps, which are more common in women than in men, most likely indicate introversion. A person with such a gait, as it were, “controls himself”, demonstrating prudence and prudence. In relations with other people, he is usually pedantic and uncommunicative. At the heart of such a gait is an unconscious readiness to quickly change direction if necessary. True, the final decision on the choice of direction can be delayed for a very long time (and this applies not only to the direction of movement). If a clear rhythm is not expressed in such a gait, then a completely justified impression of a timid and nervous person is created, ready at the slightest risk to immediately evade, turn aside.
A halting, stumbling gait indicates that the pursuit of a goal has to contend with opposing impulses. She demonstrates internal bifurcation and uncertainty, stiffness and timidity.
Those who keep their hands in their pockets while walking, even in warm weather, are likely to be overly critical and secretive; they like to dominate and dominate. However, a person who is in a depressed state also often hides his hands in his pockets. In addition, he barely drags his legs and looks, as a rule, down, as if examining what lies under his feet. But this is not an unambiguous sign: a slow gait with a lowered head may reflect a person's focus on some problem. In this case, hands are often laid behind the back.
Like many movements, gait not only reflects a certain state of a person, but also to some extent supports this state. Knowing this pattern, you can not only observe the gait of other people, but also arbitrarily regulate your own in order to correct your state of mind. So, it is believed that a confident rhythmic step indicates strong-willed activity, purposefulness (not without reason in any army, recruits are first taught to march). If you are going somewhere, not being sure of the success of your undertakings, and doubts and anxieties gnaw at your soul, straighten your shoulders, raise your head, step elastically and rhythmically. And you will feel how life energy begins to fill you. G
The individuality of a person is revealed in the details. There are many of them, and they all make up a complete picture of the personality. You can study a person and know him thoroughly only by analyzing all these small details, which may seem completely unimportant at first.
human gait
One of these details is how a person moves, his gait.
We often judge a person by the way they walk. Considering that a person's walking style reflects his character, we forget that gait sometimes hides it.
American psychologists in the early 80s discovered interesting features of human gait. For example, people can be roughly divided into two types depending on the way they walk. The first type of gait is youth, it is characterized by fast sweeping steps and an elastic rhythm.
The second style is senile. People who move in this manner generally walk leaning forward, stiff and slow.
These types are independent of age. So, many students have an senile walking style, and people after 60 can almost bounce.
The second type is often attributed to emotionally stable, calm and patient people, and the first type to extravagant and open adventurers.
But really character of a person by gait it is quite difficult to determine, because many try to control their step and specifically learn to move more confidently.
If you want to correct your own walking style or want to analyze the walk of your friends, here are some key points to pay special attention to.
PROPERTIES OF HUMAN GAIT
Posture
Slouching can be a habit from adolescence, or it can be a sign of guilt and insecurity. But a straight back and straightened shoulders indicate, if not confidence, then at least a desire to appear confident. And that can say a lot about a person.
Walking speed
A quick, wide step is characteristic of leaders. However, beware of people who are too fast, they can be quite selfish and arrogant.
Confident walk who does not need someone else's approval will be slow and unhurried. But flickering is a sign of uncertainty. Such a person feels awkward next to other people and is afraid to seem not "his" in the company.
Those who walk slowly and wide are not accustomed to hurrying and serving others.
stride length
Step length is not the best criterion for determining the character of a person. Short people often walk with a fairly confident, but small step. Well, tall people can walk sweepingly. However, this does not give an absolute guarantee that they have an iron will and a willingness to face any failure.
The position of the feet and hands
The shuffling gait is observed in people who are stuck in the past, in their old failures and mistakes once made. It seems to be difficult for such people to tear their feet off the ground.
Pay attention to the position of the feet. If the toes are turned inward, the person wants to appear as inconspicuous as possible. But turned socks indicate openness of views and readiness to accept new information.
head tilt
Sometimes it seems that only very notorious individuals walk with their heads down, but this is a misleading impression! Deep and thoughtful people who often wander in their fantasies can also look like this.
But with people who walk up their noses, you need to be extremely careful. It is very difficult to agree with them.
Analyzing your behavior is a very good idea. It often happens that it is precisely because of some qualities that you don’t even notice that you may not develop relationships with people.
For example, many have enough haughty face when they are not smiling or thinking about something. You may not even realize how you look from the outside until you notice it in the photo or someone tells you directly about it.
Of course, you don't have to change your whole personality just to everyone will like. However, there is nothing wrong with changing the very things that prevent you from achieving your goals, for example, building good relationships with influential people.
Gait – it is a person's way of moving and "holding" when walking. Walking is our simplest motor skill. But if we go back in time, we remember how long a child learns this action. This is a really complex process in which all skeletal muscles are involved. In adulthood, everything happens automatically, but in childhood, these simple actions cause a whole chain of events of unconditioned and conditioned reflex reactions that make the body move consciously, observing the chosen trajectory of movements, respectively, of the destination.
The force vector during walking can be directed in a variety of ways. This is directly related to "where the person comes from." You can go “from the head”, or “from the stomach”, or “from the chest”, there are many variations.
Posture is a posture inherent in a person (a motor stereotype), which he maintains both when standing and when walking.
Rack – it is the manner in which the weight of the body is positioned (balance). By standing, you can often determine how a person relates his body to space.
2. Placing yourself in space
Self-confident people, self-sufficient individuals, people prone to selfish and demonstrative behavior - unconsciously strive to occupy as much space as possible.
In the rack, they always spread their legs wide, often point their shoes with their socks in different directions; they are not shy in active gestures and walk, most often with large firm steps.
A person who is accustomed to "pushing herself to the backyard", an insecure, shy, notorious or failed personality, will always strive to save space so as not to embarrass anyone (God forbid!) Often, such people hold something in their hands for confidence: a handbag, a bag, an umbrella ... The steps will be small, the posture is “shrunken”, the neck is pulled in, the stand is unstable. If such a person is pushed, he is unlikely to stay on his feet. They seem to apologize for their presence in front of the universe.
3. Situational changes in gait
Mood
Mood primarily determines our style of walking in the morning or from the moment when it has changed for some reason. Waking up in a good mood or learning good news, a person moves with a light “flying” gait. Without sleep, being sick or burdened with problematic thoughts, people walk with a heavy gait, as if dragging their legs behind them.
Danger, anxiety
Being in a state of frustration (a non-standard situation that carries a negative emotional color), a person changes completely: the style of behavior, the way of responding to stimuli and, of course, gait and posture. Thus, by observing a person in various situations, you can learn a lot about him. If you are in the same situation, and for you it is absolutely normal, and the person next to you has changed dramatically, it means that he regards this reality as threatening or dangerous, causing anxiety.
sexual attraction
Sexual need is an important component of life and the complex of basic human needs. No wonder it is also called "basic instinct". It is difficult to argue with this, no matter how hard the supporters of the “high and spiritual” try to do it. After all, the realization of sexual need is a zeal for procreation. Without it, we would not be competitive in the struggle for survival.
It is for this reason that a person's gait, on a subconscious level, begins to change dramatically when a sexually attractive object appears on the horizon! The posture is straightened, the stance acquires attractive poses for the opposite sex, and when walking, swaying movements in the pelvic region are intuitively manifested. At the same time, men often unconsciously put their hands in their pockets, leaving their thumbs out and pointing with them, like arrows, at their manhood.
4. How to determine the character by gait, posture and their characteristic features
Swift, fast and energetic gait, sometimes accompanied by a wave of hands or one hand, shows us a person’s readiness for any trouble. 
Its owners are courageous, straightforward, self-confident, hardy and hardworking people. They are not accustomed to "walk away" from responsibility and dissemble. The disadvantages of this group of people are a tendency to sudden decisions, excessive emotionality and self-centered behavior (when a person everywhere and in everything, first of all, cares about his own benefit).
Charlize Theron's quick walk pattern
fast but "jumping" gait is often a sign of a person's disorganization. He is constantly in a hurry somewhere and is afraid to be late (they are constantly late). Walking is so timid, as if a person is ready to change the trajectory at any moment, having determined where, after all, you need to get faster: to the pharmacy, or to the bakery. Often such people “chatter” in conversation, stray and actively gesticulate with small random movements, chattering information, as if afraid to forget it.
Minced walking by Marilyn Monroe
Wide and slow gait characteristic of people who expose themselves. Sometimes, they can throw small objects in their hands, “football” with their feet pebbles that fall under their feet. They love publicity, are often the soul of any company and give the impression of people who do not take anything to heart and do not bother themselves with a lengthy analysis of relationships. However, such conclusions are erroneous. Behind the mask of spontaneity and carelessness is a person who unmistakably senses lies and falsehood! Be careful.
Relaxed, free, easy gait (god's gait). A person walks with his head held high and his shoulders wide, inhales the air to the full chest and steps, evenly distributing the load on both legs in turn. This gait has its center in the lower abdomen. At the same time, the legs begin to move from the knee. This is the most correct walk. This person lives in harmony with his decisions and inner world. Appreciates order and rationality in everything. Punctual executive. Equally good both as a boss and as a performer. The degree of superiority in work will determine the type of temperament of such a person. You can rely on him, the main thing is to be as obligatory as he is!
Heavy, sloppy (sprawling) gait testifies to the human character, the bright sides of which are ignoring social concepts and norms. He doesn't necessarily break them, he just doesn't care. This is a pronounced indifference to everything that happens, concentration only on one's own experiences and problems. Personal "comfort zone" for such people is a matter of first importance. He may not notice (not hear) the news coming from the TV screen about a terrible natural disaster, being preoccupied with such an important point as a pizza not delivered on time or that it is no longer hot enough. Such a person, most often, shuffles slippers while walking and it is impossible to prove to him that this is not the norm. They are lack of initiative, lazy, selfish and subject to mood trends. Lead a hedonistic lifestyle, love praise. Most often, they add up the first impression of the kindest soul of people. They are good at their profession, but they also engage in this activity according to their mood.
Collected, clamped gait "in line" tells us about a person who is more guided in life by logic than by feelings, by intuitive and impulsive impulses, and also by his own conclusions than by knowledge coming from outside. It is useless to expect any surprises and impromptu from such a person. Everything should be clearly defined and “on the shelves”. Direct and predictable, like his gait. If something does not go according to plan, it greatly annoys such people. If you “enlighten with X-rays” the hands in the pockets of such a person, they are often clenched into a fist: a person restrains himself and outbursts of emotions even with muscle clamps of his hands.
Model gait "from the hip", sports, dancing or "springy" can directly indicate the type of activity of its carrier. Classes in the relevant areas leave a significant imprint on both the gait and the whole way of life. Some people simply “parody” these elements of habits, forming an image of a successful show business person, thus attracting the desired circle of people into their lives. These are demonstrators with an eccentric type of behavior. They are refined in praise, eloquent and bright in communication. But! Having fallen out of favor with such representatives of society, you risk being ridiculed in public. And the larger this audience, the more satisfied your opponent will be!
Rocking a person "on the toe", staggering from side to side, frequent change of the supporting leg, tapping with heels - all this is evidence of the inconstancy of a person. Such a gait still resembles the gait of a “bandit”, who either shifts from one foot to the other and “draws eights”, tracking down the victim, or jogging hiding in the crowd, afraid of being noticed, or ready to trot on the run from pursuit. 
Such people are arrogant and can be situationally aggressive. Do not provoke them into an argument or actively oppose their point of view. If such a person in the rack spreads his legs wide, here is your answer! He needs self-affirmation and self-esteem. Therefore, any signs of disagreement with him are yet another damage to his personal "I" and a distance from the ardently desired self-confidence.
Returning gait- a person seems to back away, stepping forward and returning, sometimes, a step back. Extremely insecure person. He doubts everything, even the correctness of the chosen path to the nearest store. A person is inclined to live in the past and constantly return his thoughts to the events of bygone days. He quickly falls into panic and melancholy. If such a person also periodically looks back, it is possible that he is not quite mentally healthy and suffers from persecution mania.
Walking without bending the knees- on bent legs, clubfoot when walking, flapping gait - these are increasingly medical indicators of diseases. For example, a clapping gait indicates inflammation of the tibial nerve. The person cannot control the foot normally. He has to raise his leg high, put it first on the toe, and only then lower it on the heel. Such a person can be both seen and heard, as a step is accompanied by a loud bang. Clubfoot indicates deformity of the foot, and walking on bent legs indicates inflammation of the knee joints, their injury or metabolic disorders in them.
But! There are also psychological reasons for such types of gait! Often, they can be used by people with a pronounced victim complex. It is very important for them to constantly have in their environment people who sympathize and empathize with their grief. Often they are lonely old women. Not being very knowledgeable in sophisticated diseases, they can simply acquire a cane, having absolutely no medical indications for this!
Still, as a variant of the "use" of the gait "without straightening the knees", can be seen in very tall people. They are so complex with their height that such a gait seems more acceptable to them than proud walking to their full height!
When we determine the character of a person by gait and posture, it is important to evaluate all the signs as a whole. Sometimes, you can see how a person walks with a quite confident gait of a “god”, but at the same time, nervously fiddling with a handkerchief or gloves (no matter what). This should already alert: such incompatible features can be called the term "incongruence." In other words, a mismatch. This may already indicate a person’s desire to “falsify” an impression about himself!
In general, keep in mind that any human behavior is his way of adapting to the external environment and a method of dealing with internal problems or suppressing them. Therefore, be careful in communication, even commenting on someone's funny walk!

Walking Lesson by Sylvester Stallone
Gait is a sure sign, and you should not deprive her of attention. However, in order not to make a mistake and correctly determine the character of a person by gait, you need to know the basic principles that we bring to your attention. In this article we will talk about the main ways to determine the nature of the gait.
We determine the character by gait
- A person who always walks straight is ready for any trouble and is not going to give in to them. He is smart and brave enough, but he cannot be accused of recklessness and dashing. This person is a pragmatist, but even sparks of romanticism lurk in him, you just need to be able to ignite them. Such people are somewhat straightforward and uncompromising, which sometimes prevents them from making a career, but they are honest, although they rush about with their honesty like a written bag.
- A person who prefers to walk straight, but at the same time slowly and with his nose up, is conceited and arrogant, which is understandable without any psychological calculations. Such people imagine themselves to be the center of the universe, and they simply hate those who try to knock them down.
- Especially beware of those who walk quietly, constantly looking around and stopping. It is clear that these people have a bad conscience. In addition, such a gait characterizes a person as a low intriguer and slanderer with a very vulnerable pride.
- Those who walk slightly leaning forward are honest, direct and extremely peaceful people. Due to their nature, they are not capable of meanness and betrayal, but they have enough flexibility not to seem impudent and rude. They will not bang their heads against the wall trying to break it down, they are smart enough to find a way to remove the obstacle in a different, more efficient way. They say about such people: “With him I would go on reconnaissance.” But even in a peaceful life, they will always try to find a way out, so it is best to choose friends and lovers among people with such a gait, and you are provided with the right shoulder.
- A sweeping gait is a sign of a generous and generous person. In addition to generosity, they are distinguished by diligence and diligence. They will never take on a case if they are not sure that they are able to cope with it. And if you have already taken it, then be calm - everything will be done in the best possible way.
- A quiet, measured gait is found in thoughtful people who are constantly immersed in themselves, and they have absolutely nothing to do with the surrounding reality. This is the gait of scientists concerned about a scientific problem. Such people are very interesting, but they are absolutely not adapted to life, so they constantly need a nanny - and at 10 years old, and at 20 and even at 60.
- People with a sharp gait have an absurd character, they are quick-tempered and vindictive. Their sharpness is manifested not only in gait, but also in personal relationships. There are lovers of twitching when walking with the whole body. They are subject to sudden mood swings, in love with themselves and overconfident.
- Those who put their socks inside when walking are very uncommunicative, but their lack of communication is especially pronounced in communication with the opposite sex. People who have a beautiful, light gait are happy in love and successful in business. So if you work on your gait, who knows, maybe happiness will smile at you too.
How to know the character of a person by the way he walks
- Walking with wide, sweeping steps is more common in men than in women. They say that this is how Peter the Great walked - the embodiment of purposefulness and energy. At least, this is how he is depicted on the famous canvas of V. A. Serov. According to this manner of walking, one can conclude about extroversion, enterprise, activity and diligence. If such walking is accompanied by a rhythmic swaying of the arms and, possibly, of the entire torso, then in this case it rather signals that we are dealing with a person who lives for today, is completely in the power of his impulses and is not inclined to submit to someone else's influence.
- If walking is accompanied by disproportionate swaying and conspicuous waving of the arms, it is distinguished by emphatically fast steps, then it seems that the movements surpass the actual energy of a person. Thus, troublesomeness and efficiency are manifested, often devoid of true content.
- Determining character by gait is easy. So, sonorous walking, the emphasized knock of shoes reveals incontinence of character, impudence. Often at the same time, the raised tone, as it were, compensates for the lack of real self-confidence.
- Short or small steps, which are more common in women than in men, most likely indicate introversion. A person with such a gait, as it were, “controls himself”, demonstrating prudence and prudence. In relations with other people, he is usually pedantic and uncommunicative. At the heart of such a gait is an unconscious readiness to quickly change direction if necessary. True, the final decision on the choice of direction can be delayed for a very long time (and this applies not only to the direction of movement). If a clear rhythm is not expressed in such a gait, then a completely justified impression of a timid and nervous person is created, ready at the slightest risk to immediately evade, turn aside.
- How to determine the character of a person by intermittent gait? A stumbling gait indicates that the pursuit of a goal has to contend with opposing impulses. She demonstrates internal bifurcation and uncertainty, stiffness and timidity.
- Those who keep their hands in their pockets while walking, even in warm weather, are likely to be overly critical and secretive; they like to dominate and dominate. However, a person who is in a depressed state also often hides his hands in his pockets. In addition, he barely drags his feet and looks, as a rule, down, as if examining what lies under his feet. But this is not an unambiguous sign: a slow gait with a lowered head may reflect a person's focus on some problem. In this case, hands are often laid behind the back.
- Determining character by walking in a straight line - such a person is usually brave and wise.
- The one who walks quietly, with his face up, is proud, arrogant and thoughtful. Who at the same time pauses and imperceptibly looks around - may turn out to be an arrogant and conceited slanderer.
- An even, confident gait speaks of a brave, determined, stubborn and stubborn person. He loves sports, maybe even a professional athlete. He is straightforward in his statements, which brings him a lot of trouble in life.
- A slight forward lean when walking is a sign of an honest, peaceful and virtuous person.

- Women who are happy in love have a beautiful, flying gait. A sweeping gait occurs in a talkative, courageous, sociable person who considers himself the smartest. Live gesticulation speaks of his self-confidence and impulsiveness. A person born in December is simply overwhelmed by emotions, he can swallow the endings of words, jump from one topic to another in a conversation, and speak incoherently. Such people are optimists, often achieve success in their careers.
- The habit of tilting your head slightly to the right, spreading your legs wide when walking, while vigorously waving your arms, putting your hand on your hip and looking directly at the interlocutor - such signs of character indicate innate nobility. These people are successful in all endeavors, they are open, sociable, have an analytical mindset, and are good psychologists.
Like many movements, gait not only reflects the character and a certain state of a person, but also to some extent supports this state. Knowing this pattern, you can not only observe the gait of other people, but also arbitrarily regulate your own in order to correct your state of mind. So, it is believed that a confident rhythmic step indicates strong-willed activity, purposefulness (not without reason in any army, recruits are first taught to march). If you are going somewhere, not being sure of the success of your undertakings, and doubts and anxieties gnaw at your soul, straighten your shoulders, raise your head, step elastically and rhythmically. And you will feel how life energy begins to fill you. Wider step!
