Mr. Id On Pat's Grade So Far: Charm

Mr. Id gives Pat a "C-/D+" for charm up to this point in his life. But this does not concern Mr. Id, nor should it concern Pat.

Why, you ask? Because Mr. Id recommends Pat not expend a great deal of effort trying to raise this below- the-bell-curve grade. Unlike ambition (2/23) and bravery (3/19), charm strikes Mr. Id as an over-rated attribute. More than a few times, Mr. Id has noticed those who are frequently called charming have a whiff of insincerity, if not obsequiousness, about them. Charm and smarm strike Mr. Id as appropriate rhyming words.

Mr. Id acknowledges Pat could probably have been more successful had he attempted to be more charming when first meeting people. First impressions being lasting ones, he's blown it more than once in those circumstances. Mr. Id also recognizes how Pat has made his wife's life difficult not being more charming at times. But the attributes graded in this series must be prioritized and this is just the letter "C", i.e. there are still 23 letters/attributes to go. Which attributes deserve the most attention? Mr. Id thinks improving Pat's charm is a steeper climb and has less (ultimate) bang for the buck. Your view? And, notwithstanding Mr. Id's disdain for it, how would you grade yourself on charm at this point in your life?
