HOW LIKEABLE ARE YOU????

Take our quiz and find out your L(for Likeability) Factor, on a 1-to-10 scale. This quiz was devised exclusively for Health readers by author and Yahoo! with the help of William Cotrringer, PhD. former assistant professor of psychology at Southeaster Illinois College in Harrisburg. "Your L-Factor",says Sanders, "helps measure the positive or negative feelings you produce in others."

At the bottom of the scale are the truly rotten, like Saddam Hussein or Darth Vader. A9 is someone like grilling guru George Foreman, who has sold 55 million of his grills essentially because he's so darned likeable. The higher your L-Factor, Sanders said, the greater your chances for success, health and happiness.
