A magnetic personality exudes self-confidence and positive energy, making others feel empowered and validated. They don’t have to be the center of attention and may distance themselves from large crowds. This trait can be used for good or bad, as seen in politicians and cult leaders. It should be used sparingly to avoid becoming too controlling.
When some individuals walk into a business meeting or join a party in progress, they seem to exude a palpable sense of self-confidence and positive energy. Others may be instinctively drawn to such a person due to an almost indefinable quality known as a magnetic personality. A person blessed, or in some cases cursed, with such a personality may not be the most physically attractive or best dressed in the room, but her natural charisma makes it all the more compelling.
A person with a truly magnetic personality doesn’t have to be the “life of the party” or the “classy clown” to get attention. Instead, he might say very little in the way of idle conversation or small talk. What this person does best is make everyone with whom she interacts feel empowered or validated. Positive energy and selfless interest in the other party makes the person very popular indeed.
This doesn’t mean that such a person is necessarily comfortable in the role or will always use this ability for good. Some charismatic people may find themselves overwhelmed in public by others who want to feed off their positivity. It’s not unusual to see someone with a magnetic personality distance themselves from large crowds. Many professional entertainers, for example, have to put extra safety measures in place when making public appearances because they’ve become too popular to interact with fans.
One could even say that some politicians have magnetic personalities. Many people who have met former President Bill Clinton, for example, speak of his ability to connect with everyone in a room. Part of the reason for a public figure’s success can often be traced directly to having such a personality. When a charming or charismatic person makes a request or asks others to act, many people find themselves willing to comply with those requests without question.
However, this feature can be used for less than stellar purposes. Many religious cult leaders, such as Reverend Jim Jones, as well as criminal masterminds, such as Charles Manson, used their charisma to manipulate others. A person possessing such a personality often feels an obligation to use it sparingly to avoid becoming too cocky or too controlling of others who lack his or her self-esteem and self-confidence.
