Small talk reveals our key personality traits
Do you like small talk or is chit-chat meaningless and often awkward? Well, these traits could give away your personality
A quick search on Twitter shows many people hate small talk and complain it is surface level and a waste of time.
But a new study found four minutes of small talk gives away our personality, leaves a lasting impression, and affects subsequent social interactions.
Researchers recruited 338 people and paired them with each other.
The participants were divided into two groups, either engaging in a four minute conversation by text or not communicating at all.
The results show people who chatted before the games performed better in understanding their partner’s personality.
Prof. Daniel Sgroi from the University of Warwick, co-author of the study said, “chit-chat might seem like a drain on time, but our research suggests it is an important way to learn about the personality of others and helps us better predict how they will behave in the future.”
And continued, “in other words, small talk matters.”
Researchers note, the study is an exploratory step toward future study into the links between personality impressions and strategic decision making in real-world contexts.

Airbus faces manufacturing issues with A320 fuselage panels, impacting shares but confirming safety for in-service aircraft.
Airbus faces manufacturing issues with A320 fuselage panels, impacting shares but confirming safety for in-service aircraft.
Airbus is confronting a fresh manufacturing issue after discovering a quality defect in several dozen fuselage panels used on A320-family jets. The revelation sparked investor concern, with shares falling by up to 10% as the news broke.
While the newly identified flaw has caused some delivery delays, Airbus confirms that aircraft already in service are safe and unaffected. The defect is limited to a specific batch of panels, and all new production now meets required standards.
The company has apologised for the disruption and says it is working closely with suppliers to prevent a repeat of the issue.
