Do You Know Your LQ - Likeability Quotient?

Hello Friends,

Welcome to Anbusivam’s blog page.

One of my friends is in Ireland for an onsite project work form a Bangalore based company; she was sharing her experiences when she landed up there a couple of months ago. She had a tough time initially finding an accommodation there, also her project mates who were there already at the client’s site hardly helped her in finding the same. Where as, her Irish colleagues supported a lot.

She said….”Wow…Irish people are friendly and cool…I like them..!!!”.

I was wondering, why do people like or dislike someone? We encounter number of people in our daily lives and somehow we like very few to a larger extent, what happened to rest of the others? Why they are not liked?

While pondering over the same thought, I ended up here...



The Likeability Factor – by Tim Sanders

The Likeability Factor, defines “likeability” as “an ability to create positive attitudes in other people through the delivery of emotional and physical benefits.” Regardless of a person’s position or age, being likeable greatly increases his or her chances of having a happy, fulfilling life, both professionally and personally. Likeability is not just an accident of nature, however; it is a set of skills that can be learned, practiced, and perfected.

If you really wan to check your LQ - Likeability Quotient, here is Tom’s L-Factor Self Assessment

Likeability is not a mandatory skill to achieve or reach our dreams, but it helps a lot in the very process of journey towards our dreams.

I personally feel one’s Likeability is greatly influenced by the following:

Positive Attitude
Self Confidence
Listening Skills
Empathy
Contribution
Humor

Ultimately one should like oneself before expecting others to like her....

"The art of being yourself at your best is the art of unfolding your personality into the person you want to be... Be gentle with yourself, learn to love yourself, to forgive yourself, for only as we have the right attitude toward ourselves can we have the right attitude toward others." - Wilfred Peterson

Happy Increasing your LQ, All the best.

With Love,
