Are you a charismatic person? Answer these 6 questions and you will know
The results of a new investigation, carried out by a team from the University of Toronto, revealed that only by evaluating 6 statements can you discover how much charisma you really have.
The research indicates that people, when evaluating ourselves on these issues, tend to have a look similar to that of others about us, which means that our own perception is not as wrong as it can be in other types of evaluations.
The 6 affirmations that will reveal if you are a charismatic person
- «You can see your presence when you enter a room».
- «You have the ability to influence other people».
- «You know how to lead a group».
- «People feel comfortable in your presence».
- «You smile a lot to other people».
- «You can stay alone with anyone».
Members of the research point out that you must assign each phrase a number on a scale of 1 to 5 to assess how much you identify yourself. Basically, 5 would be "I really identify myself a lot" and 1 "I identify really little".
After giving each phrase one of those numbers, you must add, to obtain a result. The sum should give you a number between 6 and 30. Then, you divide that number by 6, to get the average.
People usually get an average of 3.7, according to the experts. The closer this number is to 5, the more charismatic the person would be, while being closer to 1 the person would be less charismatic. That is, higher numbers indicate more charisma.
Anyway, remember that this number does not define how you are or who you really are, but it is only an evaluation about a particular personality characteristic, which is composed of many other traits.
