Task: Identify one negative trait of charismatic leadership and detail how you are going to keep from aligning that trait with your Charismatic leadership style.
Your score on each dimension in the test "How Charismatic am I?" will range from 4 to 20. The higher your score, the more you demonstrate charismatic leader behaviors. While no specific cut-offs were stated by the authors, it seems reasonable to conclude that total scores of 85 or higher would indicate fairly strong charismatic qualities.
