An Introduction to The Humor Quotient (Part 1) - Karyn Buxman
You’ve heard me say it hundreds of times, but as I do with my family, I’ll keep repeating it until everyone gets how important it is: knowledge is power. But here’s the thing, it’s not just the knowledge that’s going to get you the power, it’s the application of the knowledge of the power—say that ten times fast!
Think of it this way if you see someone in need of CPR you’re not going to run up to them and tell them “I know how to do CPR!” that’s not going to help them at all, and it’s definitely not going to make you the most popular person in the room. It’s the same with humor (except its not life or death). You can say you’re funny all day long, but if your appreciation of humor trumps your ability to apply the humor, nothing is going to change.
Throughout the day seek out things that amuse you, and before you know it your brain is going to start recognizing the humor in everything—and that, my friend is going to change your life.
So, how do you know if you’re applying your humor to your everyday life? Well, I’ve developed the humor quotient test for this exact reason. I thought to myself, there are tests to test your emotional intelligence, so why not test your humor as well? To take the test, follow the link!
