I think most people will naturally tend toward whatever they are, so I don’t need to give them any advice on that.

OK, but then how are they supposed to know what type of person _you_ are? :) Isn’t there some benefit to being talkative if you’re a talkative person, or listening more if you’re a shy person, and hoping the other person does the same? Then you’ll genuinely either be a good fit or not, and you won’t have to think to yourself every time you see each specific contact — “Now who am I going to be for this conversation?”

I know, I know, it’s networking…

This is an interesting method. It could be very useful for many people. I tend to do a “live” watching – I don’t assume anything, I simply react to what their faces show. I do this primarily because sometimes I’m a talker, sometimes I’m a listener. Therefore, I assume other people will vary from hour to hour as well.

My skill at doing this is questionable, though…
