Do you focus on extrinsic markers — academic scores, net worth, social status, job titles?
Social media has added new layers of extrinsic scoring:
How many friends do they have on Facebook?
Who do we know in common through LinkedIn?
How many Twitter followers do they have?
These extrinsic markers, however, only tell one part of a person’s story. They are necessary, but not sufficient.
