Likeable Person Test - Description and methodology of the test
Most of us have wondered at some point whether others enjoy our company or simply put up with it. This likeable person test answers that question with a single score and shows what stands behind it. If you keep asking yourself do people like me, the answer usually hides in a few everyday habits rather than in your looks or status.
What the result measures
Your result opens with an overall likeability score from 0 to 100. It is built from four parts, each scored on its own. Warmth shows how quickly people feel at ease with you and whether they come to you when they need to talk. Listening shows whether people feel heard: you let them finish, remember the details and notice what they feel without being told. Positive energy covers humour, a good mood that rubs off and sincere compliments. Reliability covers keeping your word, warning people when plans change, keeping secrets and staying respectful in an argument. Unlike a quick likeability test that gives one vague label, this one shows which of the four habits lifts your score and which one holds it back.
How it works and how to read your score
There are twenty-eight short statements, and most people finish in about seven minutes. For each one you choose how much you agree, from Strongly disagree to Strongly agree. Eight statements describe the opposite habit, such as cancelling plans at the last minute, and are scored in reverse, so fast answers stay accurate. Answer for a normal week, not for your best evening. Your result includes:
- your likeability score from 0 to 100 with a plain label;
- separate scores for warmth, listening, positive energy and reliability;
- your strongest side and the one that costs you the most;
- a comparison with other people who answered the same statements.
Many people open an am I likeable quiz expecting a compliment or a verdict. What they usually find is more useful: one habit that people already love about them and one small change that would make them even easier to like.
