Harvard psychologist Amy Cuddy says people judge you on 2 criteria - Business Insider

Harvard psychologist Amy Cuddy says people judge you on 2 criteria - Business Insider: People size you up in seconds, but what exactly are they evaluating?

Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy has been studying first impressions alongside�fellow psychologists Susan Fiske�and�Peter Glick�for more than 15 years, and has discovered patterns in these interactions.

In her new book, "Presence," Cuddy says that people quickly answer two questions when they first meet you:

Can I trust this person?
Can I respect this person?
Psychologists refer to these dimensions as warmth and competence, respectively, and ideally you want to be perceived as having both.
