The 3 Psychopathic Traits That EXPOSED Elizabeth Holmes:

You may remember Elizabeth Holmes, CEO of Theranos, a smoke-and-mirrors startup that was supposed to revolutionize blood testing. She managed to scam many investors with a valuation of nine billion dollars. In cases like this, when the house of cards falls apart, the question everyone asks is, how could this happen? And in addition to being a scammer, Holmes also showed signs of

psychopathic

behavior to impose an image of authority on everyone around her. Signs like...-her disturbing look in her eyes-The fake voice all the time and-A narcissistic red flag. The good news is that the skills you'll develop in the next nine minutes will help you spot them. type of people in your workplace, so you can act accordingly.

Welcome back, my body language friends! My name is Jesús Enrique Rosas, I'm the Body Language Guy, and it would be great if you would join us... just by liking this video, subscribing, and ringing the bell. Let's get to work! Number one is: his haunting look. Many have talked about how Holmes has this supposedly

psychopathic

look, and to be clear, there is no such thing as a psychopathic look. There are people who have certain limitations in how they process emotions and facial cues and may stare at your face without blinking more than usual and make you feel uncomfortable.

That doesn't mean they're psychopaths or anything like that. It is true that psychopaths blink less, tend to hold their gaze longer than most people, and have fewer reactions to stimuli. For example, if someone raises their hand quickly while standing next to them, they may not even have any reaction. The problem is that all of these

traits

are not exclusive to them. But anyway, I ran some tests on the way Holmes used his gaze and noticed that there are times when he hardly blinks at all and times when the blinking pattern is natural. As if we were looking at different people. - Centrifuge them, leave them on the counters, and that's when 93 percent of the error and variability is introduced, so...

Something new. There should be questions. And to me, that's a sign that you've really done something transformative. That will be important later. The strange thing is that he supposedly came up with the idea for Theranos because he was afraid of needles, and in fact, when he talks about them, his blink rate goes through the roof. - Part of that is due to the fear of needles. People don't like having needles stuck in their arm. Partly... - You're one of those people, right? - Deeply, yes. Now, psychopaths may feel fear or have certain phobias, but they express the anxiety that accompanies that fear in a different way than most people.

Holmes' reaction when he talks about needles seemed really natural; and even if he could have practiced it, there is something else that makes me doubt that he is a 'real psychopath'. I already mentioned that he had mixed displays with his gaze. He sometimes fixed his eyes to the point of piercing the other person and sometimes blinked like any human being. This led me to think that she was possibly using this eye piercing technique to project confidence or authority. And yes, staring for a long time without blinking is something that everyone finds disturbing. As if the person was serious.

It's a kind of predatory look. But I noticed that in those moments when Holmes went for like 20 seconds without blinking, his eyes became bloodshot. As if his eyes were irritated. And that's a sign that the person is trying to force that not blinking. That he is trying to do something that doesn't come naturally to him. And it seems like she was trying to portray this image of being a shark, and it makes sense since she was trying to pull off one of the biggest scams in history. But whether natural or not, you should be aware of the blinking pattern of the people around you, how long they look into your eyes and the eyes of others, and that way you will notice if they are trying to intimidate you with their gaze.

But the blink rate wasn't the only thing Holmes tried to manipulate. Number two is his fake voice. Holmes' obviously fake voice is my biggest concern. Many people talked about this but no one dared to deny it. - I started this company because I believed that nothing matters more than what people go through today when... That's not their natural tone and one of the ways you can detect that someone is trying to touch you with a baritone is that the His neck muscles are always tense and he never lifts his chin above a horizontal line. You can do the test yourself.

He tries to talk with his face pointed up and then with his chin tucked into his chest. In the second scenario, your voice will sound deeper. So if you want to fake a deep voice, it would be much easier if you keep your chin down the entire time. But why fake your voice? Why make everyone think she was lower pitched? And I knew that deep voices have more authority. And that trick is used by CEOs, politicians, and social media influencers, it's just much more common with men who want to sound more masculine, more powerful. How do you know when someone is faking it?

Well, the easiest way is to pay attention to the beginning and ends of sentences. Especially if someone is conducting an interview and they are asked questions that require real-time cognitive loading. - It is at the center of everything we do every day - It can be a tool to provide a decentralized care delivery infrastructure - Everything we do every day - It can be a tool - Everything we do every day - It can be a tool The thing is that faking a deeper voice is a conscious effort that must be made all the time. If you use brain power to make your voice sound deep, then you are committing the amount of brain power to answer the question.

And that's like a muscle. As their response progresses, they will find it more difficult to keep their idea organized and their tone of voice will become progressively higher. The other option is to respond with total nonsense: - What... what are the innovations with Theranos? Why the technology itself? How can you do all these tests with such a small amount of blood and why has no one done it before? - Our fundamental belief is that the answer to our healthcare challenges lies in engaging and empowering the individual. If we can connect with people so they can begin to understand that they have this basic human right...

Learning to detect when a man or woman wants to fake a deeper voice is very helpful because that gives you a signal about themselves. trust. That tells you that they are not comfortable with their real voice, maybe even ashamed of it so they resort to the worst possible solution which is faking it. Spotting those clues takes practice, and the best way to get started is to download my 100+ body language tips right in the description of this video. The number three is a narcissistic warning sign. We all need role models. It's okay if we admire figures from history, we are motivated by their struggles, their achievements, and we find inspiration in what they did.

But a red flag is when you notice that, beyond inspiration, someone is trying too hard to imitate that role model. In this case, it was not long until the media began to compare Elizabeth Holmes with Steve Jobs, especially and precisely because of their common abuse of the black turtleneck. And in fact, anyone should have the right to dress however they want, whatever they think is most comfortable or most convenient. Brilliant. But in this case, some of Holmes's way of dressing, and even her demeanor, overtly drew attention to herself, to her personality, rather than to the mission of her company.

Any sane person trying to spark a health revolution will know that these headlines would divert attention from her message. So not only did Holmes do nothing to alleviate this, he even doubled down on the comparison and continued to fuel those headlines. Always dressed in black and sometimes looking like the Pope and Darth Vader entering a Brundlepod. And another reason why she was a red flag is that she was copying a successful person but in a totally different field. Apple's mission had nothing to do with Theranos' mission. Again, the comparison still falls within a personal dimension. If she was comfortable with that deceptive brand, if she was okay with diverting attention from the "revolution" away from herself, that's a classic narcissistic trait.

And I agree that there is a double standard in the business world. The media pays much more attention to how women dress and their appearance than to how men dress. But the fact is that every time you come across someone who is trying to draw attention to their personality instead of their mission, and a good example is so many autotune people who abuse so-called musicians who are famous only for the controversy they cause and not because of his talent. , then you might get the idea that they might be filled with hot air. Coming down to our level, you have surely worked with these people, whether they are co-workers or bosses who are always implying that everything turned out well thanks to them.

Their ideas, their presence, their words are what keep everything going. And by the way, if your boss's role model is a jerk like Steve Jobs, chances are he'll find it inspiring to be a jerk to you.
