The study also found women with a firm handshake were likely to be evaluated more favourably than their male counterparts.

　　Professor Stewart said, “We've always heard that interviewers make up their mind about a person in the first two or three minutes of an interview. But we found that the first impression begins with a handshake that sets the tone for the rest of the interview. We don't consciously remember a person's handshake but it is one of the first non－verbal clues we get about the person's overall personality, and that impression is what we remember.”

　　Women were less likely to have a highly rated handshake, partly because traditionally they shake hands less than men. But when women did possess a firm handshake, they were likely to be evaluated more favourably than their male counterparts.

　　Body language experts warn, however, that the firmness needs to be just right, as an over－enthusiastic bone crusher handshake can indicate self－importance, a controlling personality and a lack of trustworthiness.

　　The handshake is thought to have originated in medieval Europe as a way for kings and knights to show that they did not intend to harm each other and possessed no hidden weapons.
