The Science of Success Achievement
As a consultant and coach, I take personality seriously. The way in which you are perceived by others can determine whether you get a second look, a return call, an invitation to that important meeting with extraordinary prospective clientele, and even determines how your children's teacher and prinipal interact with you. Believe it or not your personality is a key to your success. After finding the Personal Magnetism Test, created by Rick Gettle, I used it, and incorporated elements of it into my business with clients. If you have never assessed the way others look at you, take the time to consider that it makes a difference. The follwoing is the Personal Magnetism Test, there are no wrong answers, just opportunities to grow.PERSONAL MAGNETISM TEST:
Personality is the mental, spiritual, and physical traits - good or bad - which distinguish you from all others. To realize prosperity and success you need to build a powerful magnetic personality that attracts people to you. Here's a list of traits that will help you achieve a pleasing, attractive, engaging, and winning personality.
A Positive Mental Attitude---------------------------------------------------
Keep your mind filled throughout the day with positive and happy thoughts? It’s not much fun being around negative people. Treat everyone you meet as if they were the most important person in the world.
Positive Self-Projection-------------------------------------------------------
Learn how to send out and project an aura into the atmosphere that surrounds you, that will create a good mood and feeling for those near you.
The Capacity To Understand People---------------------------------------
To be a leader and well respected by the people you work with - you must learn to be an expert when it comes to understanding and inspiring people.
Appearance---------------------------------------------------------------------
The best-dressed and groomed person usually increases their energy and attracts the most favorable attention.
Control Of Your Emotions----------------------------------------------------
Self discipline is necessary if you're to enjoy the benefits of a pleasing personality. Some of the negative feelings, which must be brought under control, are: Fear, hatred, anger, envy, greed, jealousy, revenge, irritability, and superstition. On the positive side of these negative emotions are the positives of: Love, kindness, faith, hope, desire, loyalty, sympathy, and optimism.
Use Of Creativity---------------------------------------------------------------
Everyone is born with a brain and an imagination. Some use theirs to develop their fullest capacity to create a great life for themselves - while others use theirs very seldom and end up living a life of mediocrity and lack.
Hope And Ambition------------------------------------------------------------
A person without ambition may be harmless to others, but will never be popular. No one cares much about a person who shows by their actions (or lack of action) that they have abandoned hope of getting ahead in this world. Having dreams, goals, and plans on how to achieve them – create positive energy around you.
Persuasiveness----------------------------------------------------------------
To get what you want from life you must have the powers of persuasion to get others to want to help you and cooperate with you.
Temperance---------------------------------------------------------------------
The person who lacks the necessary self-discipline to manage his or her personal habits is never attractive to others. This is especially true of eating, drinking and sexual relationships. Excesses in relation to any of these destroy personal magnetism.
Concern For Others-----------------------------------------------------------
A person who is concerned about the welfare, happiness, and safety of others is a well-loved person.
Patience-------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a fast moving, high speed world. The tempo of human thoughts and actions is so rapid that people often get in one another's way. Patience is required if you wish to avoid friction in human relationships.
Self-Motivation-----------------------------------------------------------------
If it’s meant to be – it’s up to me. Making things happen.
Humility Of The Heart---------------------------------------------------------
Be humble. Keep your empathy and your ego in balance.
Aspiration For Excellence----------------------------------------------------
Always doing your very best – taking personal initiative and going the extra mile.
A Friendly And Pleasing Tone Of Voice------------------------------------
Keep your tone of voice calm, friendly, soothing, caring, cheerful, easygoing and kind-hearted.
Self-Discipline------------------------------------------------------------------
Discipline is what corrects, molds, and perfects.
Ability To Work In Harmony With Others----------------------------------
Teamwork and cooperation.
A Fondness For People-------------------------------------------------------
It is inevitable that people who dislike others will be disliked; people sense disapproval, even when you're silent! It is greatly beneficial to monitor your thoughts and emotions as well as your words. Treat everyone you meet, every day, as if they were the most important person in the world. They will give you their love, their respect and their business.
Problem Solving Skills--------------------------------------------------------
The Habit Of Smiling----------------------------------------------------------
It requires 12 muscles to smile - 103 muscles to frown. When we smile at another person, it puts them at ease and raises their self-esteem. It also releases endorphins in your brain that gives you a feeling of well-being and contentment. Your smile will change the mental attitude of those with whom you come into contact.
Self-Confidence----------------------------------------------------------------
Correction and regulation of oneself for the sake of improvement.
Positive Facial Expressions--------------------------------------------------
There are thousands of ways a person speaks without ever opening their mouth. It’s called body language. Are your facial expressions saying things that will attract others to you, or turn them off?
Speaking Ability Before Others---------------------------------------------
Can you inspire and rouse an audience to action?
Courtesy------------------------------------------------------------------------
Always go out of your way to help others and be kind to them.
Show Alertness Of Interest-------------------------------------------------
The greatest compliment one can pay another person is that of concentrating their attention wholly on the person that is talking to them. Be a great listener.
Personal Magnetism---------------------------------------------------------
Do you have the ability to arouse and add vitality in people? People love to be around others that make them feel alive and important.
Sincerity-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Always be genuine and honest and free from deceit and phoniness.
A Good Sense Of Humor-----------------------------------------------------
A well developed sense of humor helps you stay flexible and adjust to life's varying circumstances. It keeps you from taking yourself and life too seriously.
Flexibility------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you have the ability to adapt yourself to quickly changing circumstances without losing your composure?
Tolerance-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep an open mind at all times, this applies to people and circumstances.
Frankness In Manner And Speech-----------------------------------------
Always be straightforward and sincere. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Get your point across in the shortest time with well-chosen words.
Tactfulness---------------------------------------------------------------------
Skill and grace in dealing with others. People show their lack of tact in many ways. The most common are: A gruff and irritable tone of voice indicating that you are in a negative mental mood or displeased. Volunteering opinions which have not been requested, and for which no reason exists, especially opinions on subjects with which one is not familiar. Interrupting the speech of others, indicating one of the more frequent expressions of discourtesy, and lack of culture. Expressing your dislike too freely. Overworking the personal pronoun, "I". Asking favors you haven't earned the right to request. Asking impertinent questions generally for impressing others with the questioner’s importance, or his or her contempt of the one they are addressing. Injecting intimately personal subjects into conversations where such actions have not been invited, and may be embarrassing to others. Going where one has not been invited, the habit of trying to minimize another person’s achievements, speaking disparagingly of people in the presence of their friends, and common boastfulness speak to a persons tactfulness.
A Keen Sense of Justice-----------------------------------------------------
Doing the right thing in dealing with people. Live by the golden rule.
Appropriate Choice Of Words-----------------------------------------------
The English language is filled with words which carry every conceivable shade of meaning. There is no excuse for the common habit of using words that offend others. And, of course, the use of profanity at any time, or under any circumstances, is inexcusable and unnecessary.
Effective Speech---------------------------------------------------------------
People have risen to great heights of personal achievement because of their ability to sell themselves and their ideas through dramatization of speech. The most important factor in effective speech is a thorough knowledge of the subject on which you are speaking. All the rules of effective speaking can be stated in one sentence. Know what you want to say, say it with all the emotional feeling at your command, and then sit down.
Versatility-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Popular people are versatile. They have at least a surface knowledge of many subjects. They are interested in other people and in other people’s ideas.
Control Of Temper-------------------------------------------------------------
The person who lets his or her temper fly off in all directions is sure to receive negative feedback. The most common injury an uncontrolled temper inflicts is that which results from an uncontrolled tongue.
Effective Showmanship--------------------------------------------------------
Have a sense or knack for dramatically effective presentation. Pizzazz.
Clean Sportsmanship---------------------------------------------------------
Show graciousness in winning and in losing, and, in getting or not getting what you want.
The Ability To Shake Hands Properly--------------------------------------
We all know how uncomfortable it is when someone squeezes your hand too hard. Also, a limp handshake leaves a poor impression. The person who shakes hands properly coordinates his or her handshake with their words of greeting, generally emphasizing each word with a firm grip of the hand. They do not release the other person's hand until they finish their greeting.
Making Decisions Promptly--------------------------------------------------
Successful men and women reach decisions quickly and act on them promptly.
Faith In Infinite Intelligence-------------------------------------------------
Stay in harmony with the Supreme Being that created this universe, whoever you think your creator is.
Enthusiasm---------------------------------------------------------------------
Enthusiasm is to go forward every morning with the thrill of being alive.
