Hasn't anyone here taken this test ?

by Anonymousreply 1May 26, 2023 3:15 PM

I scored a 65. The test didn't take 20 minutes.

[quote] Even with the best of social skills, someone who is not totally comfortable among a group of people will have difficulty being himself or herself - this doesn't seem to be the case with you however, at least not all the time. You are generally at ease in circumstances in which you are expected to mingle. While you may feel a little self-conscious at first, you can usually settle down once you get used to a person or a social circumstance. Like learning to drive or working a muscle, being comfortable in social situations takes time to develop. Don't allow uncomfortable social situations you faced in the past to sidetrack you. Keep working on your social skills and continue exposing to yourself to a variety of new social situations.

Social situations don't bring out the best in you - you just don't feel at ease in circumstances in which you are expected to mingle. Even with the best of social skills, someone who is not comfortable among a group of people will have difficulty being himself or herself, and you may feel that this is the case with you. Your discomfort may have arisen as a result of being self-conscious of the way you act around others. This hesitation can create an uncertain vibe around you, making it less likely that people will approach you because of your uncomfortable demeanor. It doesn't have to be this way, however. Like learning to drive or working a muscle, being comfortable in social situations takes time to develop. Don't let this discourage you, and don't allow uncomfortable social situations you faced in the past to sidetrack you. Keep working on your social skills and exposing to yourself to new social situations, a little bit at a time.

I’m surprised I even got 10.

by Anonymousreply 4May 26, 2023 8:22 PM

I got a score of 17.

I got a 12 with the same summary posted at r3.

I got a 12

77.

Was there any analysis for the scores? I saw only the rather all purpose generalities that R3 cited. And some links to register to receive other info, though not from my hurried reading a specific response to my score?

by Anonymousreply 13May 27, 2023 8:17 AM

32, with same summary as r3

by Anonymousreply 14May 27, 2023 8:30 AM

R14 I got a ZERO :(

by Anonymousreply 15May 27, 2023 12:57 PM

I got a 45:

[quote]You either feel comfortable in some social settings and ill-at-ease in others, or you're just someone who generally needs time to settle in and familiarize yourself with a social situation before you can relax. Overall, you may feel awkward when you first meet people but eventually loosen up once you get to know them. This isn't a problem per se, unless you feel that this timidity or hesitation holds you back. Like learning to drive or working a muscle, it's normal that being comfortable in social situations takes time to develop. Don't let this discourage you, and don't allow uncomfortable social situations you faced in the past to sidetrack you. Keep working on your social skills and exposing to yourself to new social situations, a little bit at a time.

I got a12 and an offer to buy the self reported evidence free loss of 10 min. haha

63. Higher than I expected, to be honest.

by Anonymousreply 19May 27, 2023 3:08 PM

R19 I scored 88 and was surprised, too. If I had taken this quiz ten—even five—years back, I would have scored 30 or so. I was always good in social situations because of my work responsibilities, which included a lot of social events and engaging with strangers/active listening. But none of it was particularly authentic.

I recently cleared ten years of divorce, debt, job loss, illness, and death. Now I have love, health, money, and Lexapro and I enjoy being in the moment more. I’ll enjoy it while I have it!

I received a 55, but I was told I need to be more tactful and sympathetic to other people's problems.

Like I fucking care!! Seriously, if personal problems get to me at my level, there is an issue.

by Anonymousreply 21May 27, 2023 4:33 PM

I only got a lousy 35 and a paragraph of boring bland text about my comfort zone.

by Anonymousreply 22May 27, 2023 5:08 PM

75 but in fact I had never encountered a few of the situations described.

by Anonymousreply 23May 27, 2023 5:42 PM

88 which surprised me. As they say, I am totally at ease in social settings, so why isn't it a 98?

by Anonymousreply 24May 27, 2023 6:02 PM

51.

I received an incredibly low score but it was no surprise. As being one of those awkward gay Aspies (but without the wretched desire to embrace every letter of the alphabet soup, color my pubes, etc., I'm just gay), I am just what I am and I'm fine with that.

by Anonymousreply 26May 27, 2023 6:37 PM

I got a 3 and I think it's too high

by Anonymousreply 27May 27, 2023 7:41 PM

Did you really get a 3?

My score: “You are one autistic motherfucker.”

by Anonymousreply 29May 27, 2023 9:49 PM

How socially awkward are you around groups of random straight people?

How comfortable were you with Misty who could get you fired by whispering you were gay? Nobody likes Misty since she locked herself into the trash room so she needs a whipping boy, somebody to dump on!

by Anonymousreply 30May 27, 2023 10:10 PM

68 for me

by Anonymousreply 31May 27, 2023 10:13 PM

I got a 27. I’m not surprised I’ve always felt like I just can’t relate to most people and don’t enjoy being around them. Even as a very young child I felt that way.. My family thinks I’m an undiagnosed autistic and maybe they’re right.

by Anonymousreply 32May 27, 2023 10:37 PM

I got a 12, and I was surprised it was that high. Aspie here. Is thought it would be closer to 3, but I have learned coping mechanisms.

by Anonymousreply 33May 27, 2023 10:42 PM

I got a 40. I had to laugh at question #50 “When it comes to conflict…”. I chose response “I accept that other people have viewpoints that different than mine.” However, I know that many people on DL would have to choose “I find it extremely difficult to accept that others have different viewpoints, and that we could both be right.”

Just today, seeing people treat different viewpoints on DL as an existential crisis and them going into a meltdown.

by Anonymousreply 34May 28, 2023 12:27 AM

r27 I got a 3 also.

by Anonymousreply 35May 28, 2023 12:43 AM

Unlucky 13.

by Anonymousreply 36May 28, 2023 1:41 AM

I got a 23, which seems about right. It's not that I don't know HOW to act in social situations, it's that I so rarely feel at ease in them. My 73 in Diplomacy seems to verify that.

by Anonymousreply 37May 28, 2023 2:59 AM

I became annoyed and stopped the test.

by Anonymousreply 38May 28, 2023 3:19 AM

I scored a 30, OP. Social events are not my forte, but I can improve, say the test results.

I’m mostly introverted but very empathetic as a communicator. Decently good social skills but do get tense in situations and I’m sure others pick up on it.

by Anonymousreply 39May 28, 2023 3:26 AM

I got an 80. I was told recently by a co-worker that I’m very nice “for a white person.”

by Anonymousreply 40May 28, 2023 3:33 AM

I'm too socially awkward to deal with taking the test.

by Anonymousreply 41May 28, 2023 3:58 AM

I got an 88. Comfort in dealing with people is one of my stronger qualities, think it came from Quaker school.
