A research was held at the University of Pennsylvania to determine to what extent a person's body language can affect the impression people form of him. The shocking result the research came up with is that body language was found to be more responsible for the impression people form of you than your words.
The following are the detailed findings they came up with:
55 percent of the impression people form of you is based on your postures, body movements and gestures
38 percent was based on the tone of your voice (tempo and frequency).
Only 7 percent was based on what you say.
