Psychologist says that the way a person walks is an outright indication on one's personality. So are handshakes. Our personal abilities can also be reflected in our handshakes-assured or timid, warm or cool.
Accordingly, there are various types of handshakes.
Bad handshakes include the bone crusher the grip that makes the other person, especially a woman wearing rings, wince.
Then, there's also the limp, damp handshake that seems to say ''I am not really happy to meet you at all.'' Or it may be the kind of straight-arm shake that seems to hold the other person off, or the octopus grip that draws you inexorably toward the shaker, who never seems to want to let go.
A good handshake is elbow level, firm and brief. Likewise, a man does not offer to shake hands with woman unless she makes the move first. If the man is wearing gloves, it is no longer necessary fro him to keep the lady waiting awkwardly while he removes his gloves on hand he need not apologize for it. Whether he is shaking the hand of a man or a woman, the shaker must look straight at the eye of the person he is greeting.
