what percentage of face to face communication is non-verbal?
i've heard lots of different percentages i.e. some say up to 90% of face to face communication is non-verbal etc. but does anyone know what the most widely accepted figure is? and have a reference for it!?

- when body language is added
- 80% without a doubt
- its about 80-85% i believe
- 60% or so i heard.
- 90% is what I have read. Try the BBC web site and the links from it i am sure that is where i sourced it
- 80- 85% and a reference being the teacher that wouldnt remove her vail. The figure is what was quoted in the broadsheets
- I reckon speech is only used on three occasions, when you can`t see the other person, when having a discussion and to qualify your body language.
- It's 93%, or so says our human resources trainer at work.
- I heard 80%- or at least, that's right with first impressions. You get loads subconsciously from body language and facial expression.
- 85%
- iv worked with visual and hearing impaired individuals and currently work with autistic adults,from wot i can remember of my training the figure is beleaved to be between 75-85% check sense.orge the national deafblind orginiseation they shud be able to help.
- From my end, zero % Also zero % is verbal most of the time. I exist without communicating. No one seems to have anything to say yet, things you say in nightmares can't really be considered communication
- 93% believe it or not! Only 7% is communicate by the words you actually say. About 38% is communicated by the pitch and tone of your voice, or just how you say it. The remaining 55% is your gestures, posture, fidgeting, basically anything to do with your body. We read each other's body language without even realising it, and actually it is what we rely on the most when speaking to people face to face.
- 30% is non verbal, I think. In a day, 3%
- Well they say actions speak louder than words. People definitely say more when they say nothing.
