Crouched shoulders, folded arms — these all suggest weakness and vulnerability.

What are the results of the test? They put together a test in which they asked people to assume a “high-power pose” for two minutes. Next, researchers asked the subjects to assume “low-power poses” for two minutes. Then, they tested the subjects’ risk *tolerance and body chemistry. General Questions The results were astounding. After just two minutes in a high power pose, the subject’s testosterone level, which is closely related to risk tolerance, soared by 20 percent. The risk tolerance of the low-power posers, meanwhile, shrank by 10 percent. 3
