Sociometer measures charisma; do you have this gift?

Science can now measure whether or not you have charisma, according to MIT.  The device used to measure your charisma is called a “sociometer.”  CBS News Sunday Morning interviewed experts at the MIT Lab and discovered the wonder of the instrument.  I’ll get back to that in a moment.

First off, what is charisma?  Charisma is:  personality, connection, and naturalness.  Charisma is personality, charm, strength and warmth.  You can see it in a person’s communication style and in their face – the kind of smile they give and in their eyes.  Charisma is said to be a gift from the gods (God.)

Jesus Charismatic?

The polls left out the most charismatic individual of all time – Jesus Christ.  Jesus is the greatest example of a charismatic person in history.  Read in the Gospels:  Matthew, Mark, Luke and John about the life of Jesus Christ.  Read Mark 4: 39,40 and 41: 

…And He arose and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, Hush now! Be still (muzzled)! And the wind ceased (sank to rest as if exhausted by its beating) and there was (immediately) a great calm (a perfect peacefulness).  He said to them, Why are you so timid and fearful?  How is it that you have no faith (no firmly relying trust?) And they were filled with great awe and feared exceedingly and said one to another, Who then is this, that even wind and sea obey Him?

Back to the sociometer.  You have this device around your neck.  The measurements the sociometer takes are:  a)  How you say something,  and;  b)  Energy, how energetic you say something.  See this wearable sensor board!

Want Charisma

You can be taught how to have charisma.  Charisma comes from within, and you can practice doing it every day.  Try this:

the fruit of the (Holy) Spirit (the work which His presence within accomplished) is love, joy (gladness), peace, patience (an even temper, forbearance), kindness, goodness (benevolence), faithfulness, Gentleness (meekness, humility), self-control (self-restraint, continence).  Galatians 5:21-22 Amplified Bible.
