Inter-personnel Zones
This is an allusion to the inter-personnel zones.
In Proxemics, Social distance between people is reliably correlated with physical distance, and described four distances:
Intimate : distance for embracing, touching or whispering (15-45 cm, 6-18 inches)
Personal distance for interactions among good friends (45-120 cm, 1.5-4 feet)
Social distance for interactions among acquaintances (1.2-3.5 m, 4-12 ft)
Public distance used for public speaking (over 3.5 m, 12 ft)
Think about this distribution to understand how people-friendly you are !

Made for interesting reading but how can people-friendliness be judged based on this? Do u mean to say that people who have more interactions in the first 2 categories are more people-friendly? Well, what do u think about orators who manage to hold the attention of and involve large audiences with their high-impact speeches? Personally, I think the distance factor would help determine how much of an introvert/shy person or extrovert/expressive person one is. What say?
@Gaya3 : Bingo. That is what I actually wanted to convey with 'people-friendly'.
