Friendly, charming, and inspiring, these people know how to light up a room. Their ability to see the lighter side of bad situations means they’re good at making people smile. This is also helped by their talkative, persuasive nature.
While they're able to be the star of the show, in their most actualized version of themselves, they are able to make others feel heard and comfortable. Since they’re also so well-attuned to people’s physical expressions and emotions, they’re able to adjust their behavior to best suit whatever social setting they're in.
Like Approachable people, they’re open and affectionate and find it easy to form close interpersonal relationships. However, Charismatic people are driven more by their desire to nurture loving relationships. On the other hand, Charismatic people have more social motivations and are more focused on the comfort and well-being of groups over individuals.
In love, Charismatic people’s high Social Intelligence means they are adept at reading their partners emotions, as well as having an innate ability to monitor the ways in which their own behavior can have an effect on their significant other. As in many aspects of their life, they are charming and bring humor to their relationships, laughing through both the good times and the bad.
High scorers utilize their charm in the workplace, often using their social perceptiveness and sense of humor to reduce stress and build friendships with their coworkers. These people are more equipped with controlling their emotions and tolerating—though not necessarily experiencing less—stress, often having better control of counterproductive impulses. They are also optimistic and trusting of others' motives. They enjoy groups and collaboration perhaps more than any other type.
While Charismatic people aren't exactly mind-readers, it can certainly feel that way for them at times. They are attuned to even minute physical expressions of emotions (like a shrug or sigh) and have an ability to recognize similarities and patterns, and using this information to identify emotional ties within groups. Over time, they accumulate a pool of knowledge that allows them to make sense of emotions and find interpretations. This allows them to temper their own behaviors and actions to align with the environment or company they find themselves in and even inspire cooperation in their favor.
Though these people are inspiring communicators and like to be the star of the show, their warm humor and open nature makes those around them feel that they have the space and unspoken permission to shed themselves of the seriousness we are taught to carry. That being said, they maintain a persuasiveness in their demeanor, saying what comes to their mind as they think it or feel it — and think and feel they do regularly.
Though charm and humor are a delight in social settings, it’s important to be mindful of the situations in which you make jokes, as to not come off as insulting or ridiculing the other person. Additionally, with low scores on Straightforwardness, these people are at risk as coming off as insincere or disingenuous.
