Measuring an individual’s ability to network

Does anyone have any experience of tools or tests that can effectively measure an individual's ability to network?

Would be interested to hear of people's ideas and experiences.

Thanks

not really an answer but…

Dear Elbell

I’d have thought that you may need to do a bit of defining:

Ability or motivation or success

What is the objective of their networking; to sell products, to ‘sell’ ideas/philosophies political viewpoints, to sell themsleves into a job, to sell themselves as self employed suppliers, to gain information (specifc or generic), just for fun (notworking rather than networking).

Restricted networking (eg OBN, OST, LWL) or open networking?

SPQ Gold has a section on the subject of networking for sales purposes that you may find useful but don’t be put off by the name or the delightful title Inhibited Social Contact Initiation Syndrome (ISCIS)!
