Bio-Typing


There's a great amount of our understanding of conversations and social situations that comes from watching and picking up the cues from body language. It's like tone, it more clearly puts words into context. It says things that words don't manage to. It emphasizes and reiterates what we're trying to say, and often gives us away when we're trying to hide our feelings about something. For Johnny Seitz, it's a way for him to immediately distinguish someone's personality, who they are, how they see themselves--and how best to communicate and establish rapport with them. Seitz is an autistic who has a gift for this complex understanding of physical movement, and the system he has developed has enabled him to function socially in a world of people whose minds work entirely differently than his. The autistic mind tends to be very visually driven and greatly detail oriented which leads to a kind of unbiased perception. The inability to read people, known as "mindblindness" is a common trait of autism, but Johnny's technique of observation has enabled not only himself and other autistic individuals to accurately perceive and comprehend people's character by their body language, but hundreds of other people as well. If you think about it, there are few who can say that they've never found themselves awkward or confused by someone they meet, interact with, or just see. Beyond judgment, Johnny Seitz's system can help anyone predict the character traits and break the personality codes of those around them, helping them better understand and facilitate their interactions with accuracy and depth.
