Using group interviews, this inquiry explores thin sliced judgments and perceptions of six leaders in the goodness context. Perceivers appear capable of molding rather exact imprints of some leaders drawing on short glances of nonverbal footage. In all groups (Malaysian and Chinese), paralinguistic, dynamic and static cues are helpful in positive perception shaping of leaders in the goodness context. These findings affect the fields of nonverbal conduct, political communication, and personality judgement.
