Scores 1 - 4
I am afraid that you would never survive in the wild. No doubt, something large, toothy and hostile would devour you, because you would think the snarl meant it was in love. You may want to learn more about body language by visiting The Non-Verbal Communication Journal website. If that site is too academic for your taste try the Center for Nonverbal Communication website, it is quite interesting. To be safe, stay close to someone who scored ten on the test.
Scores 5 - 8
You are doing relatively well and can probably communicate and understand communication with little effort. You may want to visit the referenced sites listed above and increase your store of body language knowledge. What does it mean when someone looks up and to the right? See, I told you there was more to learn.
