A 30-second test to determine whether your boss is a gem or a jerk

Let's say you and I are talking in person — and I make a strange request: "Take your right forefinger and draw a capital E on your forehead."

There are two ways to do that, of course. You can draw like the guy on the left or like the guy on the right.

But which choice you make might say a lot about what kind of boss you are. It's all explained in this Sunday Telegraph column, which draws on pioneering research led by Northwestern University's Adam Galinsky (a name all you social psych nerds should be keeping an eye on and who also happens to be the guy on the left.)
