slightest reaction gives away what kind of person you are

Hello dear friends 
In life, we meet a lot of people. Some of them remain strangers, yet some of them we do get into a friendship or more. I believe one of the things that we would consider when come in contact with people is their attitude and personality.
How can we know what kind of person they are to consider the possibility of being a friend or more? It is pretty simple. Through their behavior and actions. Sometimes it can be deceiving. However other times when certain things happen and the reaction given at that moment is very true and can be used to examine the person's personality.
Suppose you are rushing and something is in your mind that you failed to stay alert and accidentally run into another person. Now there are two major possible reaction that the person you ran into may have. Especially the non verbal communication such as facial expression and hand gestures. Most of the time, the person would show upset and angry faces, or maybe even curse a few words and left. But occasionally you do encounter those who smile and say that it's okay, perhaps even help you to pick up things that fell on the ground. 
These reactions are very important information about a person. Yet we can see so few of people would react positively towards accident. It is obvious that good people constitute very small amount of world population nowadays.
How about you? What do you think of what I said? what sort of things do you take note to understand the people around you?

I also look for the smallest reactions from people. It's interesting how one reaction can open up someone like a book. Although, I don't assume what I get. I take it as an educated guess and work from there. Before, 50/50 I get it right, but now, most of the time I get it right. My uncle is even interested on making me apply as a sales person because he thinks I can make more sales than his employees.
Sales is not my thing, though. I'm just interested on what other people are thinking at the moment, and ultimately how they are as a person.

I personally believe that we cannot judge a person right away to one or two circumstances and situations. Friendship takes a lot of time to build. You cannot have it overnight. Because we don't have the power to control people and their emotions, it is better to choose friends with care.

i don't think that a person reaction to a situation is the person's whole personality. maybe the person is having a bad day. therefore, there reaction to something happening may not be the same as if in a better mood. with me it definitely depends on a lot of things. it depends on the situation and how i feel that way. it also depends on what alter personality is out at the time, but that's a separate talk show.

I think that you could really know what kind of a person is when given in a situation and you see his reaction to it. However, if pain is inflicted on that person, it is natural to see a person demonstrate his being hurt. And that we should not judge right away that he could be an evil person. Well, cursing along with the facial expression is another thing.

I must agree that in some ways we will be able to gauge what kind of a person is. If he . she gets angry at once, for sure he is a quick tempered person.
But if he/she would simply just smile and okay, since it was unintentional then you can say that he/she is a calm person or slow to anger person.

I think you can figure out a little bit about an honest person this way. But some people do put on a show for the world to see and hide their true self. I used to be so trusting and think whatever someone showed me was who they really are but I have learned from that, not everyone is like me. It is hard to find honest people now a days...

it is quite difficult to discern a person from his/her reaction. although those reactions provide some hints of the kind of persons the way people behave, they are not enough to give one a total idea of who the person is. however, those who are keen in slight reaction can get an idea, but they are so few of them. i hope i have those kind of talents.

Thanks for this. And you do have good observations. It is kind of true. I never thought of that but it does make sense. You will know them on how they react to certain situations. Thanks for this. However, we should not be quick to judge a person by just reactions only. We should really know the person.
