For the record...
While teaching body language and other social effectiveness skills, I will not be repeating the myth that the content of one's communication is carried by a 7-38-55 breakdown of words (7%), voice tone (38%), and body language (55%). This is the 'Mehrabian Myth', named after the researcher whose two 1967 studies on nonverbal communication have been misinterpreted ever since.
Instead I'll just say that while I don't know what the numbers are, body language and voice tone are, like, super duper important and stuff. :)
For more recent research, see Givens' Center for Nonverbal Studies.
