"The other day I was in the car with a guy. I must have gotten quiet for a nanosecond or changed my expression somehow because he said, even though he was looking at the road, &amp;quot;Are you cold?&amp;quot; No, but close. I had to go to the bathroom. How did he know I was uncomfortable?\nHis emotional radar is highly tuned (Can you tune a radar?). I feel like girls are usually the ones who are quick to say, &amp;quot;Is something wrong?&amp;quot; but I guess I can be oblivious. For example, I&amp;#39;ll date a guy for six weeks and never know that something&amp;#39;s wrong, i.e. he&amp;#39;s not interested, haha.\nPinterestFacebookA new study published in the journal Psychological Science says certain groups of people are better at reading emotions than others. It sounds a little generalizing and stereotypical, and I am not making any statements here, but the researchers at three different universities determined that upper-class people were not as good at reading emotions as lower-class people. And to determine class, they looked at educational level.\nIn one test, volunteers looked at photos of faces and described which emotions the faces were showing. People with education did worse on the test.\nThe scientists&amp;#39; theory was that people who aren&amp;#39;t as well off financially are more likely to rely on help from their community, such as child care while they run an errand or take an extra shift at work. People with education, the study authors speculate, aren&amp;#39;t good at recognizing other&amp;#39;s emotions because they can solve their own problems and they aren&amp;#39;t as dependent on people around them.\nThis isn&amp;#39;t the case with the guy in the car, as he has more education than I have&amp;#8212;in fact, he has more degrees than anyone I know. But anyway, I just thought it was interesting. I wonder if I can practice or improve my perception skills??\nAre you good at reading your guy&amp;#39;s emotions? (Does he have emotions?! Haha.) Can he read yours?
