Interpersonal Impressions

COMBOTLABs frequently utilizes a set of established scales that we call “Interpersonal Impressions.” These scales are designed to systematically evaluate and measure the perceptions and opinions individuals form about one another in various interpersonal contexts.  The purpose of using these scales is to gain a more structured understanding of how individuals interact and influence each other in social settings.
