Here's a hellovva question:

Who do you reckon has charisma, and what criteria does it consist in regarding that person? The two elements that seem to come up in my initial reckoning are passion and enjoying themselves. Here's some from my list with a suffix to indicate passion (P), enjoyment (E) or both (PE):

Bandler PE
Grinder PE
La Valle PE
Martin Luther King P
My mate Dan E
Colonel Mikhail Ryabko (Russian Martial Arts Master) PE
John Ding (Yang Style Taijiquan Linaege holder) PE
Sam Rockwell (Actor) E (P?)
Bob Geldof (only when speaking on poverty, lousy in interview) P
Mohammed Ali PE
Chris Hackney (Just a guy I used to know) E
Christine (another aquaintence) E

I am now noticing that I havn't put many women on my list, which is curious. I'll have to think on that one (Maybe I would be more inclined to lable them 'attractive' rather than 'charismatic'). So who's on your list and what are your criteria?

Can you think of anyone who is passionate but not charismatic?
Can you think of anyone who has that quality of enjoyment but without charisma?

Hmmm.
