The Likeability Guy Likeability Test

Likeability Test

Take a Likeability Test on your Friend … or Foe?

Likeability does not live in a vacuum. You’re neither likable or unlikable by yourself: it’s not possible. Your likeability is strictly determined by how others perceive you.

So, rather than create a test that will make a weak attempt at showing you how likable you are, this test will show you how likable others are.

Think of a specific individual and rate them from -5 to +5 on each likeability criteria. Keep in mind that these numbers can change from day to day. If you want to know your likeability score, ask others to evaluate you.

Results

The most important aspect of this test is to show you specifically what makes people likable and unlikable. The higher the score, the more likable the person.

Another thing to consider is that when someone has a high negative score in any one area, it can ruin their overall likeability. This is why it is so important to pay attention to how you project yourself in every area.
