“His good health depends utterly in his ability to have a good opinion of any and every viewpoint in the complete universe or universes. Gives you an immediate index between whether one likes his fellows or dislikes them and the ability of that individual. A person who dislikes his fellows has very poor ability compared to one who likes his fellows.
“If you were hiring somebody, you would simply have to ask him the question. Well, he might toady* up to you or pander one way or the other just to throw the weight in for him so he’d get his job. But you’d just have to ask him a kind of question of how he liked his fellow workers, this and that, and get his response. Just look at the response on his face or watch his hands and you would know immediately whether or not he was a good worker. Why? He’d like his fellows.”
toady up to: to act in the manner of a toady, one who flatters or does distasteful or unprincipled things in order to gain favor.
— L. Ron Hubbard
