People who are arguing against Mehrabian, imagine your a solidier defending your country from enemy and the war is intense, you have Sniper(93% of weapon) and a bullet(7%) now, you try shooting a bullet without loading it in the sniper, am sureyou will not attempt a free hand throw, will you? I dont want to be a part of this argument but, people need to understand the importance of body language its certainly more than words even if you choose not to represent it with any percentage.
��� MOhammad MOhiuddin, Mon, 20 Sep 2021 16:36:06 UTC
I think that the argument negating the importance of non-verbal aspects of communication is both simplistic and incorrect.One of the arguments is that communication vis internet is all words. This is proving to be incorrect as the plethora of symbols and emojis aimed at replicating non-verbal communication become increasingly used. This goes some way to showing that words are profoundly inadequate as a sole means of communication and the written digital platforms are converting back to what is common and that is that non-verbal signals are as important as words.

I am so glad to have found this article. The 7% Rule has haunted me from back in 2006 when I was in training to be a stock-boy at the local Zellers, until a month ago during a training session through my (now retired from) job at York University. It never felt right, though I could hardly articulate why.As a point of interest, to all of those in the comments arguing wildly against the ideas presented here, may I offer a simple challenge? If the words account for simply 7% of the content of the message, then post your replies without that 7%. Surely the remaining 93% of communicative powers is plenty for you to make your intended, complex messages, heard and understood.I propose that everyone is reasonable in making the very acceptable and uncontroversial statement ?tone and body language are important? without falling back on the wild misinterpretations of a limited study from literally half a century ago.

I think Donald Trump is a good example of how presentation is as important as content in persuading at least some people.If you read the transcript of his speeches they are barely understandable, but coupled with the way he delivers the words they convey hisemotional message very clearly.

"I don't know how to quantify the relative importance of verbal to non-verbal in delivering speeches. But I have no doubt that the verbal (what you actually say) must dominate by a wide margin." and I have no doubt you are incorrect in your assumption sir. May be if I have seen you make the argument in person, I would have thought differently.

It has been argued that the 7% rule is false and that these percentages are in fact not true. It has been argued that words are the most important part of a conversation. The consensus of this negate is that if body language and tonality were really more important than words then we would all just be watching flailing arms and not listening to the words. I know for a fact through in field experience that face to face or one on one communication is vastly different than giving a speech to an audience. In my extensive experience of practicing interchanging different tonality and body language cues to connect face to face with the many strangers that walk down a busy new york sidewalk (ive been a successful leader in a face to face fundraising company for 3 years), i have learned that in fact while our words are having a conversation with eachother our bodies are also. So you could say there are always two conversations going on. There is a common phrase ?e-motion? is energy in motion. While the words that I speak to you interact with your conscious mind, the specifics of my body language are creating emotion in you, subconsciously. And vice versa. Although the person who is conscious of the impact that their body language has on the other person trusting them and believing what they say, has the leg up. Its very salesy but also applies to my personal life, i have practiced this in both. The reason why is our subconscious picks up on body language cues and ignites certain emotions in us, which we have no choice over. There are mainly four different personality types and everyone has a mix of all four at different levels. I have used the marc accetta personality test to learn to identify a persons personality type in the first few minutes of meeting them. And then switching up my body language based on their type in order to get them to trust me more and sign up with the charity i am pitching. There are four colors and if you take the test u get a score between 40 to 80 for all colors. People with even scores are more well rounded and not as easy to manipulate through body language and tone. Most people are dominant in two colors so therefore using body language that corresponds to their top two personality types you can usually find the right mix that will get the person to like you, trust you, and sign up with you. You can consider this extensive in field research that me and my team of top leaders in the coin try have practiced day in and day out as we approach one hundred plus strangers a day in a busy city. I dont know that the numbers are certain or correct but i believe they are close.

Many of the comments on this frankly amaze me. The author is not making an "argument against" the 7% rule. He is outright demonstrating that the "rule" is not based on any science, and that the oft-quoted study that is its supposed origin wasn't even on the topic of verbal vs. non verbal communication. If the adage were that the PERCEPTION OF EMOTION is 55% non verbal, that might possibly be closer to the results of the study, but even then, it's not a large enough study for its result to be codified. My takeaway is that while we may agree that the effect of non-verbal queues on words spoke aloud can be significant, there is no evidence that it is primary. Only the simplest message can be conveyed without words of any kind, while almost any message, simple or complex, can be conveyed with words. Whether the words are seen as truthful is irrelevant because we're talking about meaning.
��� Mary F, Sat, 04 Jan 2020 21:04:20 UTC
I believe it's noteworthy that Mehrabian appears to have been referring to communication in general, whereas you are referring to the act of giving a speech. If I'm listening to a speech, I'm already predisposed to assuming that the person is genuine in what they're saying and, thus, any nonverbal communication is the result of his/her confidence or lack thereof, rather than an indication of sincerity or intent. In contrast, if someone approaches me in-person, the setting has changed and, thus, so has the ability to make such assumptions about his/her motives. Similarly, within the context of a speech, if someone calls your attention from the crowd, you must decide, sometimes based on non-verbal communication, whether the question is genuine and professional; if s/he is a general heckler; or if s/he is baiting you before asking a question that will derail your entire presentation. Sometimes, this will be clear from his/her words, body language, etc. Other times, it's not so clear because the words aren't antagonistic, but his/her body and/or voice are tensed. Communication is in everything we do that involves someone else, every day of our lives--not just the hopefully well-written and well-rehearsed performance you give on a stage.

I think it worth considering that 93% of the believability of the words you speak is derived from your tone and body language.

I would think the ratio varies with the situation and subject matter. Einstein physics is defintely skewed to content when a student is listening to a lecture in grad school. While proposing marriage would be skewed (as opposed tolet's spend the night together) on not only content and tone, but also the and body language (can I believe he means what he says?). And then there is the existing bias of the listener (trust or the lack of it in the speaker). The existing model is too simple. More variables are need, I think, to 'measure' effective communication.

Almost every comment here that disagrees with the author is in fact proving his point. Almost every disagreement here is concerned with the emotional content of speech and how it is altered by non-verbal communication. This is not contested in the article. Quite the contrary, the article attests that the value of non-verbals is purely emotional.Through non-verbals, we can interpret much about the character and disposition of the speaker, but nothing of the information being transmitted.Note, in the case with the pilot jumping of the plane, the non-verbals do not "change the meaning on the words", they simply prove the words to be a lie. If you see me stealing something, and then I say "I didn't steal it", the act of stealing doesn't change the meaning of my claim, just its validity.Even the reference to the President falls foul of the same trap. His manner of speaking does not give different meaning to his words. "Grab her by the puss*" means what it means. People discard the message because they like the man, but that doesn't change the meaning of the words.Take a purely factual statement: "Plants convert sunlight into energy through photosynthesis". There is no tone of voice nor gesture that I could apply while making this statement that would cause you to interpret its meaning differently. I encourage you to demonstrate otherwise.There might be a tone of voice, for example, that would cause you to question my confidence in my own knowledge, but that wouldn't change the meaning of the sentence, just your trust in me.All this article suggests is that it is a myth that a spoken message relies as little as 7% on the content of that message. None of the comments here has actually countered that other than by assertion.
��� Karl Millsom, Tue, 27 Aug 2019 04:10:59 UTC
This article presents very strong arguments, the best of which is that the experiments behind "the 7% rule" should be first understood before we run around quoting results we do not understand. I for instance had erroneously assumed that the experiments were much more elaborate, involving many studies in many languages. But in my humble opinion, the human mind automatically pays attention to body language and tone when listening to a speaker. I cannot correctly assign any numerical values to the three aspects discussed here, but I believe that even though the actual words are the primary substance of verbal communication, when one speaks to another average human, tone and body language become important enough to entirely alter the spoken word. Imagine, for instance, that you have boarded an aircraft that is now sitting on the runway, awaiting instructions to take off. The captain rushes out of the co*ckpit, stares wildly at everyone, and says nervously, "Sit tight, everything is fine." He then proceeds to throw the door open, jump out of the plane and start running on the tarmac, away from the waiting aircraft. Do you believe that everything is fine? Do you sit tight and wait for takeoff? If anything, his nervous tone and physical actions would turn his words into the opposite of their syntactical meanings. Your mind would hear, "Panic and get out of this plane. Something is very wrong!"
��� Tuvi King, Mon, 29 Jul 2019 17:08:19 UTC
Making a speech and posting messages on the internet are completely different methods of communication and as such do not provide a proper basis for your argument against this 7% rule theory.
��� Brigitte Lowther, Sat, 29 Jun 2019 14:46:17 UTC
Yaffe is sorely mistaken.One has only to look and listen to our current President (#45) to learn that words are not chosen carefully and that body language and tone play a measurably more important role in convincing an audience of the veracity of the message. I say this regardless of whether one wants to believe or wants to dispute the message. The words are not nearly as important.

��� Greg Stephens, Tue, 06 Jun 2017 14:05:15 UTC
It seems this article has confused the issue by bringing disorganised oratory into the equation. In other words communication is also a function of structure and eloquance - which is true. The question for me is however, given exactly the same speech on that is witnessed in person with body language and tone vs one that is read from a transcript - what is the difference in perception. Anyone who has read a transcript of an interview will be familiar with the strange way in which it reads - the um's and ahs and changes in direction before completing a point are made starkly visible in the transcript where they tend to get filtered out in the in person experience as the listener is tuned into the speaker and is in many cases ahead of the oratory. Whether or not it is strictly 93/7 I have no idea but I know from experience that a significant amount is lost when communication goes straight to print.

Kate Gladstone said, "When anyone asserts to me that "ninety-three percent of communication's nonverbal," I ask him or her to communicate that assertion in a 93%-nonverbal manner. In fact, no one can nonverbally communicate even the single concept "nonverbal"!"Of course it would be impossible. I'm not arguing the validity of the topic, but your response would be easily rebuked. Suppose I told you 60% of a can of soda was simply sugar. Would you then respond by asking me to make you a soda using just sugar? You cannot ask someone to produce a whole product by only using a portion of what makes the product whole. If you ask someone to communicate to you using only the 93% portion of communication, they cannot give you a complete communication, especially since 38% of that 93% is "the tone and music of their voice". The 7% percent is just the actual words chosen.But again, I'm not actually arguing that 93% of our communication is nonverbal, I just used the presented numbers. My argument is that your reply is asking someone to perform an impossibility and neither proves your point, nor disproves theirs.

From what I understand, the problem with understanding the emotional level in a conversation is hard with Autism because so often people say one thing and actually mean something else. This does not happen as much in, say, lectures and speeches, because the point is to bring across information and because of that the body language is not as important. But in everyday conversations people use innuendo and tone of voice a lot more to express how they feel, especially if it is a negative or not socially acceptable feeling/opinion they are voicing in public. Because of this, people may have difficulty understanding your emotions behind what you say. They are used to reading and interpreting these non-verbal cues instead of just taking all words spoken as fact (which from what I understand the Autistic mind does.) :)
��� Rebekka, Fri, 29 Apr 2016 15:57:00 UTC
The only comment I have is a question. I'm a formally diagnosed high functioning autistic, with an rated IQ of 156. I've been told and have read, that one of the diagnostic criteria is the inability to understand non-verbal communication, that we can't put the verbal content together with facial expressions and body posture. We (meaning ASD's) also have problems with eye contact (which I've been told too many times that I never look at whomever I'm talking to) and that my own body posture and facial expressions dint link up with my verbal content. I've been told, again more than once, that I always look angry, even when I'm happy (I don't enough I guess). My question is, given the factors I've written, why is it so difficult for me to understand the emotional content of a conversation? Why am I, as has been described to me, "mind blind"? Why do I seem unempathetic to others? Can someone please comment?
��� John-William Gibson, Tue, 15 Mar 2016 05:07:38 UTC
If it were true mimes are closer to the rule than the average person. Ever watch someone who was nervous give a speech? Most of their body language/tone doesn't match up. It's only when it becomes so distracting that I even notice and tune out words. I would say it's closer to 40% words/40% tone/20% body language. Why? If body language is so high we would just tune out everything and not listen. Also tone can make the words seem overly aggressive/disingenuous/not important ( I would probably notice this first tbh). If words weren't dominate we would all be focusing on someone flailing there arms with no actual substance.
��� Kuje, Thu, 17 Dec 2015 22:25:04 UTC
I think the 7% rule is true and does applies appropriately in communication involving some form of relationship; Marriage, family, business or a team. This makes it possible to want to ration the idea that between a Mother and daughter conversation the non-verbal elements will commonly bring into play what was missing.
��� Oluchukwu Nnadozie, Thu, 13 Aug 2015 07:42:26 UTC
We also don't know how well Lincoln's speech would have been received if the non-verbal components had been accessible. There's also something to be said about context. Lincoln's speech has a special place in America's heart because it's wrapped patriotism in a time when we were divided, a heroic attempt to save the country during one of the lowest points in American history. It's the same with MLK's I Have a Dream. The context makes these speeches go down in history probably more than the speeches themselves.Speaking of the 7% statistic being taken out of context when applied to normal conversation, I think it's clear that anyone trying to apply the 7% to speeches is just as guilty of faulty logic. I can't imagine the original study intended its results on communication to wielded so liberally, but here we are, I guess.

Thanks for the informations and this support my thoughts about the adage. I will do my best to translate it to Arabic so that what I call the misunderstanding of the original work can be corrected. I believe that the nonverbal communication acounts for a determined percentage but that much (93%)Once again, thank for the effort and above all the courage to publish such an article.

Happen to be doing research and ran across your paper. Please consider deeper research, whereas you are correct when you mentioned "what you say" in a speech is important, however it alone is not the most important. Instead, consider that three parts of persuasion are equally important: that is, Logic, Credibility and Emotion. I'm sure what I read may have been misinterpreted on my part (I apologize in advance if so) but if not, you seem to have a great interest in helping speechmakers and giving others more accurate information is always desirable. Keep up the great work!

As a counter-example to Lincoln, here is the most quoted section of JFK's moon speech."We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too."Do the other things?And the others, too?Truly stirring words.He might as well be saying "go team" based upon the actual meaning of his rhetoric. Why does it still resound then? Because it fills its purpose well, that purpose being an emotional appeal to greater achievement through unity. Looking at the words, you can tell that they aren't of primary importance. In fact, without the recording of that speech, I don't suppose it wouldn't be remembered much at all outside of its grand associations. As a leader speaking to the social mass of people, he was trying to convey nothing more than optimism. He wasn't attempting to explain a plan of action or communicate any particular concept. Not to sound too disparaging, but, while he individual may be rational and logical, the group, the human herd, responds quite strongly to all of the pre-conscious triggers and reflexes that we've inherited from our evolutionary process. I don't mean to sound like one of those "the great mob is wild and must be controlled" types from the days of Bernays, but it is true that addressing a crowd is primarily an emotional endeavor, not an informational one. It is not a presentation of data.As to the %, I agree that the study is extremely narrow and applies only to a specific circ*mstance. Even assigning a % to something like this is preposterous. What it does appear to show is that human judgement and confidence follows emotional lines, and that emotions are most easily expressed through non-verbal communication. As such, if you want someone to value what you say, how you say it is more important than the actual specifics.As a final thought, I might posit that 272 words, carefully chosen, seems to me not a speech.To me, that sounds very much like a poem.

Your article is well written, but seems rather incomplete in its examination and I would like to point out just a few concepts:I quote you "The whole objective of most speeches is to convey information, or to promote or defend a point of view" and "The essence of a good speech is what it says".The above is only part of the story, other objectives also include inspiring an audience and persuading them to align with the speakers point of view. These objectives are of primary importance.The true value of a speech is measured by how closely its effect on its audience matches its intended purpose.Even brilliantly written speeches that are poorly delivered can never be moving, meaningful or memorable to their audiences. Yet there are speakers that ramble and who are less than eloquent in their chosen words that are capable of moving great masses of people.I don't know how to measure the relative importance of words, voice tone and body language within a speech. I would suggest that it depends on the audience, the situation and the intent of the speaker. However, I would also suggest that the way in which words are used in a speech is of less relative importance than in written language, and possibly even secondary in some cases.Wikipedia has an interesting article on the subject of "Rhetoric" for further reading.
