UNILATERAL SHRUG

Only one shoulder rises, while the other remains neutral.

MEANS

Uncertainty about what is being said, often when the person is fabricating or hedging. Distinct from a bilateral shrug.

CONTEXT

A strong signal in interviews. When someone makes a confident statement and one shoulder rises, the certainty is performed. Catch it; do not call attention to it. Adjust your follow-up questions accordingly.

NOT

A stretch of one side of the body.
