The category with the highest score was animated, meaning I maintained eye contact and used gestures and facial expressions frequently (Student Assessment Library, 2008 ). I think this score represents where I stand pretty well when communicating face-to-face with others, as I'm not too extreme in any of the categories assessed. Being charismatic can be important because it is considered “an exceptional quality of an extraordinary leader” (Chen, Belkin, McNamee, & Kurtzberg, 2013). With an overall assessment score of 88 (85 being the threshold for high charisma), I have “self-confidence and strong conviction about my beliefs” (Student Assessment Library, 2008). At the same time, “charisma only exists if followers say so or if followers behave in specific ways” (Chen et al, 2013). Very goodLife in
