Persona & Image Quotient


The Need of the Hour

 

The dynamism in the current age is mind boggling and the only constant is change. The most rational way to move forward and cope with change is by way of innovating and reinventing not only technology, but also oneself. While technical know-how has been the prerequisite to most undertakings, today the world looks for more than simply a set of educational certifications and technical skills. Today industry looks at the individual in entirety in terms of his personality, confidence, communication and presentation skills, etiquette, grooming, values and many such aspects which project the persona and image of the individual. While being able to manage one’s image is imperative, it has become even more critical in the digital era where we leave permanent digital footprints. Thus evolves the need to know what our PIQ or Persona and Image Quotient is, and understand certain aspects of our image that have scope for improvement, so that we can create a larger impact and become more effective to meet global challenges. 

 

Concept and Creation

 

Persona and Image Quotient (PIQ) is a quotient and measure derived from scientific and empirically tested research methodologies designed to assess and determine the persona and image of an individual.


This innovation has been created by the World’s First Image ScientistDr. Kuiljeit Uppaal, who has been honoured with the prestigious ‘World Educator Award for Innovation’ as well as the ‘National Award for Innovative Concept’ amongst many other accolades.


PIQ is associated with factors related to the persona and image of individuals with reference to the blend of their inherent beliefs & preferences and social & psychological aspects of appearance. It includes values and beliefs, self concept, verbal skills, clothing and styling, cosmetics and makeup, colour aesthetics, grooming, etiquette essentials, communication, self branding and many such aspects. The PIQ highlights the individual’s existent level with regard to his/her persona and image as an individual and also hints at what people possibly think about him/her in relation to his/her persona and image at large.
