From: Glen Harewood
Subject: CHECK YOUR SOCIABILITY QUOTIENT, THE LEADERSHIP CANDIDATES', FRIENDS,  EMPLOYEES, EMPLOYERS, & GOV'T LEADERS

Joe, please see the attached.
 Given the present, and the timely Conservative and NDP leadership elections, I thought it might be
 interesting if one checked  OUR, and THEIR "SOCIABILITY Quotient."
Cordially,
===============
Note:: Learner(s) = any human being who is capable of changing his/her behaviour as he/she interacts with other human beings in the world.
MATERIALS = any matter, phenomena, (or other human beings in the case of SOCIAL[ABILITY] to which a subject can/may be exposed.
WGlennH
--------------
NOTE: These Instructions below co-ordinate with the descriptors seen in the attachment.

On a scale of  4 --1, four (4) being the RICH or high point, and one(1) being the DEFICIENT (low) point,
 HOW "Social" are you, Your friends, employees, employer, your students/learners, your Gov't Leaders ?
This test, developed by 250 Educational psychologists,(Vide ACCS: Frymier, 1977), and modified by yours truly, is still valid today!!

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Determine the age of the person (even yourself)
2. Turn each of the nine (9) descriptors in the bipolar Likert scale into a question
 at the  corresponding RICH and DEFICIENT poles of the scale.
 [ Example: Are you (am I, is he/she Communicative/Participator OR Un-communicative/loner??) ]
3. Score oneself (yourself/others)  according to your determination along the [4 ---1 ] sliding scale.(be honest with yourself)
4. Do NOT add (vertically) the numbers but view, AS A WHOLE, all the scores.
5. Then decide whether you are (one is) more or less RICH or DEFICIENT on the SOCIAL(ABILITY)  dimension {this is only ONE of ten (10) dimensions of examining ONESELF, or any other person}.
6. DO SOMETHING about moving yourself  from DEFICIENT to RICH, by choosing or exposing yourself to MATERIALS                ( PERSONS, books, literature, T.V. learning programmes, INTERNET bona fide literature, all  relevant data, pictures, music,  Art, etc) that would ENHANCE, CHANGE, and move you from  1 to 4 on the scale.
HAVE FUN--- OR DISCARD!!!
