FROM Donald Trump and Angela Merkel’s non-handshake to Nicola Sturgeon and Theresa May’s steely stares, body language has been talking loud and clear in the last week.

Whether you’re a nervous fidgeter, or an alpha male who loves a confident handshake, here’s what your physical actions reveal about your personality.
