Likable Person Test: Am I a Likable Person?

When I was scrolling down on Facebook, a certain post captured my attention.

"Are you a Likable Person?"

After I read the caption of the post, I immediately answered, "No, I'm not!" because I know my characteristics and personality. There is no way that other people would like me the way I am, where I am sometimes rude, arrogant, short-tempered, anti-social, and don't like to be around other people.

However, because I was curious about the "Likable Person Test" that the post recommended for us to answer, I still tried to open the link provided and see to myself if I'm a likable person or not.

According to certain previous research, a meta-analysis revealed there are seven elements that scientifically define a likable person. And those are Positivity, Tolerance, Honesty, Friendliness, Humor, Happiness, and Kindness.

There were 35 questions or more like statements, where you have to rate them whether you agree or disagree with the statements provided. So I went on and read each of the questions and tried to answer them as honestly as I could. And after I finished answering, here is the result of my Likable Person Test.

The result says that I am a likable person with 72.86 percent. And based on the results, I am high in Positivity, Humor, and Honesty. And I have the least in Friendliness and Kindness.

So here are the explanations on why I am high on these aspects (Positivity, Humor, Honesty) and I couldn't agree more with the justifications.

Positivity:

I am a positive person who makes others feel empowered and happy. I have a positive impact on those people around me as I get to find something good in most people and situations. I also like to give others encouraging words or pieces of advice. I also tend to demonstrate positive body language like having a strong posture, open shoulders, and always smiling. (well, this is just sometimes, and not all the time. Lols)

Humor:

I prefer to be around people who make me laugh, are happy, and energetic, and know how to break the tension in stressful situations through their jokes and humor. I like to balance things out by being passionate about something and also knowing how to have fun.

Honesty:

I am more attracted to people who are reliable, honest, dependable, and loyal. I also strive to be real, clear and frank about my opinions although sometimes, I tend to be sarcastic and harsh when I express them. I also hate being lied to, betrayed, and deceived.

Meanwhile, here are the 2 aspects (Friendliness, Kindliness) where I got such low points and I'm not even surprised as I already knew the result will be like this in the end.

Friendliness:

Well, it's a little bit ironic that I scored high in Positivity yet I also scored low in the Friendliness aspect.

It explains that I don't really exude openness, warmth, and enthusiasm. I'm the kind of person who is often uncomfortable around other people because I'm an introverted individual. I distance myself from others because I don't like them to see my vulnerability. I'm not an open person and I'm reserved but I also long for the warmth of others.

Kindness:

This is not so surprising as I'm the type of person who just likes to focus on myself and try my best for my life.

I admit I'm not that helpful, generous, empathetic, or considerate towards others. But I also tend to want to connect with people who have been good to me, if there were. I also like to give attention to people who know how to appreciate my kind gestures to them.

Well, this sums up how likable of a person I am. Based on these explanations, I bet you can already tell if you would want to be around me or not.
