Eight Elements of Charisma Self-Assessment
For each of the 24 statements representing the eight elements of Charisma rate yourself by selecting the appropriate number.
Ratings 1, 2 or 3: Indicate that the statement is rarely true for you - or only true on occasion. A score of 1 would mean that this statement is never true for you.
Rating of 4 (this is a mid-point or "fence sitting" score) means that sometimes it is true for you, and sometimes it is not, depending on the context or situation you find yourself in.
Ratings 5, 6, or 7: Indicate that the statement is mostly true for you, with a score of 7 indicating that the statement is always true for you.
Scoring: Total the three statement scores for each element. Elements where you ranked/scored yourself in the range of 16-21 represent your strong areas. Element scores in the mid-range of 10-15 represent areas of acceptable competence. Scores in the low range of 3-9 indicate elements of charisma that need improvement.
