Jiang Taigong, Zhuge Liang, Zeng Guofan's mind-reading and people-reading skills are very clever!

Knowing people is a science. In history and reality, there are countless examples of success because of cleverness.

Sun Bin was persecuted because he didn't know Pang Juan and had a broken knee. Han Fei didn't understand Reese, and finally died in prison and so on.

After experiencing too many lessons, the ancients summed up many methods of reading minds and understanding people, which are still useful today.

Zhuge Liang:

Ask what is right and wrong, and judge what you will do.

To judge whether a person is worthy of reuse, we must first understand his position and viewpoint. Anyone who is vague and ambiguous about right and wrong must never be entrusted with a heavy responsibility. Because such people are used to have it both ways, they are not qualitative.

Looking forward to seeing what you believe.

It refers to making an agreement with the other party to see if he can keep his word and keep his promise. "If you don't keep your word, you don't know what you can do." If a person doesn't keep his promise, he can't be trusted. Therefore, to see whether a person speaks honestly is not what he says, but what he does. Facts speak plainer than words. Therefore, it is wise to listen to his words and watch his actions.

Lv Buwei:

I like it to test it;

Afraid to test your understanding.

In a state of joy, you can see whether the restraint and integrity of the other party are firm and upright, and don't get carried away;

In the case of fear, see if the other party can stick to the end and see if the other party can be brave and responsible and be a real hero;

Sima Guang:

Whoever takes a person's skill can't get a saint or a gentleman, and can't get a fool instead of a villain.

The method of selecting talents, if you can't find a saint and a gentleman, is better to get a fool than a villain.

Because a gentleman holds talent and makes good use of it; The villain has a gift and uses it to do evil. If you have talent to do good things, you can do good things everywhere; And if you use your talent to do evil, you will do all kinds of evil.

Although fools want to do evil, people can still subdue them because they are poor in wisdom and incompetent. The villain has enough intrigue to play evil, and also has enough strength to be brave and violent, just like a tiger with wings, which is very harmful!

Jiang Ziya:

It is hard to say that you have courage;

Drunk. Look at its state.

Ask the other person to answer the questions, and you can see the other person's language communication ability;

Questioning the other party and thoroughly explaining his adaptability;

Li ke:

Respect your loved ones; The poor do nothing.

See who a person is usually with: be close to saints and make friends. Be careful with little people.

It is not difficult for a person to persist in honesty in good times, but it is valuable to persist in honesty in difficult times. When a person is in trouble, if he doesn't do anything to gain or betray his conscience, he can do it, otherwise, he can't.

Zeng Guofan way:

Evil is looking at the eyes and nose;

If you want to see the order, it's all in the language.

Evil exists in the eyes and nose: loyalty and betrayal are the two most important aspects of China people's judgment. How can we talk about employing people if we can't even tell the good guys from the bad guys? Therefore, Zeng Guofan defined the first sentence in the formula of knowing people as "evil eyes and evil nose". If the nose and eyes are not straight, that is to say, the eyes are crooked and the nose is crooked. In Zeng Guofan's view, this person must have a crooked mind.

It depends on the order, all in the language: these two sentences are not about people, but about people. Zeng Guofan attached great importance to organization and regarded it as one of the four most important aspects of employing people. He often said that what the ancients said is very applicable, that is, whether two people can get to the point, be clear and grasp each other, can show whether they are organized.
