What kind of social beast are you?

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Was having a discussion with a friend about how some people just can't be alone. They must have the attention of someone, or at least mingle with a crowd or they have a breakdown. Then there are those like me who could go off into the wilds for a couple weeks alone and be perfectly content.

So what would you rate yourself?

10 - Anthrophile
9 - Herd Animal
8 - Socialite
7 - People Person
6 - Mingler
5 - Take It or Leave It
4 - Self Sufficient
3 - Loner
2 - Antisocial
1 - Anthrophobic

[Jack Squat]

I'd put myself at Mingler. I enjoy being with friends much more than me being by myself, but I don't really like dealing with the general public all that much.

now this is because I work at a grocery store in Tennesee, and most of the general public turns out to be idiots...

[Zeb The Troll]

I think I'd have to put myself at about a 7. I like being around people but I tend to be a bit shy to get started. Also, if invited to a party or get together that I can reasonably attend, I usually will but I can entertain myself if need be and sometimes, though rare, I have an urge to be a hermit.

[SDF]

4-8 on any given day.

[Frojoe21]

I'd probably consider myself a five. People like me or they hate me...or they think I'm okay.

[Vonriel]

I'd put myself somewhere between Loner and Self Sufficient. I can go for a while without having to talk to anyone, really, and enjoy myself, but eventually I gotta go out and speak to a person, just to remind myself I'm not the only one left alive.

[FdL]

I'd be an ostrich.

Or in that list, probably nothing above 3. 4 at most. But not often.

[Nomrom]

Before college, I was probably a 4 or 5. I didn't really hang out with people after school, but I still had good friends. Now, I'm probably a 7 or 8. I really like being around people now. I can no longer entertain myself nearly as efficiently. However, I still have trouble meeting new people, and I'm shy around those I don't know to well. So probably more a 7.

[The Vorpal Tribble]

This isn't based on popularity, but by your social needs :smallwink:

You and me both. Or at least just one other present. I could happily remain alone with, say, a wife or GF for the rest of my days with no other soul.

[North]

Hmm probably a people person. Im good with people and enjoy hanging out with friends. But I do like alone time to read and troll the net.

[Katonta]

I'd put myself somewhere between Loner and Self Sufficient. I can go for a while without having to talk to anyone, really, and enjoy myself, but eventually I gotta go out and speak to a person, just to remind myself I'm not the only one left alive.

Ditto, just give me a really good friend, or a Wife that I'm truly IN LOVE with, and I could live happily with no one else in the world.

[The_Chilli_God]

2: Antisocial.

I've said so much about myself so many times, it wouldn't make sense to choose any other option.
I'd reply to people if they want to talk to me, but I would never seek out conversation (unless absolutely necessary for other reasons - like chasing down someone over something not done) or go anywhere near where large amounts of people gather, especially if I don't know them.

Long story what lead me to this stage, but I don't really mind being antisocial in the slightest. It's me.

[FdL]

I understand you, I am like quite like that. Especially the last sentence. Don't know why.

[Last_resort_33]

I was an Asocial loner when I was in school. Now, however, I have become a Mingler, often sinking to Take it or Leave it, and on special occasions, raising to a People Person.

[averagejoe]

Actually, this reminds me of an epiphany I had recently, where I realized that I actually don't like/enjoy spending time with most people/demographics. :smallsigh:

That said, I'd rate myself in the 4.5-5.5 range. I can actually be alone as long as fate wills (and I really mean alone. I'm not even looking terribly hard to be not single at the moment.) but I do enjoy social activity. I'm just kinda meh on the whole thing. Que serra serra, you know?

[Semidi]

Loner, maybe self-Sufficient. Let's put it this way: I've never felt a desire to be around anyone aside from my girlfriend in over a year.

I have one other person of which I enjoy regularly spending time--anyone else? I'd prefer not being around them, and if I'm in a situation which I have to be, I get tired, irritable, and I look for a way out. Big groups? Forget it, I do my best to go invisible.
That's why the internet's a great thing, if I don't feel like talking with anyone, I just log out.

And I'd be careful classifying yourself as antisocial, it's a mental disorder that a great deal (nearly all) serial killers have, so yes, extremely bad connotations. It's not much like how it intuitively sounds, just throwing it out there.

I think it's safe to say that no one is going to use it in that way to describe themselves. In the context of this thread, it's about admitting that you feel no real need to be around people all the time.

[Saithis Bladewing]

Probably a 4, but at the same time everybody likes me, only rarely have I met someone who didn't like me, and everybody wants to interact with me no matter what I do.

[Jibar]

I'm a 3 - Loner.
I'm bitter and paranoid, so I can't cope with lots of people, so I'll regularly choose being by myself for a while other spending time with people.

[Deepblue706]

5, Take it or Leave it. I guess sometimes I like to go out, party, chat it up with a few people, but other times I hide inside all day, and keep to myself. I don't think I actually went outside at all, today. :smalleek:

If I have nothing to do alone, I seek others to get rid of boredom - but I'm not particularly upset if I can't find anyone to hang out, or whatever. But, I find my boredom is actually pretty consistent (whether with friends or not), moving about simply helps distract me temporarily.

[SDF]

Probably a 4, but at the same time everybody likes me, only rarely have I met someone who didn't like me, and everybody wants to interact with me no matter what I do.

Hehe, well you must have a really charismatic personality then. It must be annoying with that explosion thing though.

>_>

<_<

*hugs*

I've been feeling pretty bitter lately, I've been stuck at 4 because I have almost no time for anything else. I should probably stop spending what free time I have here though...

[Frojoe21]

This isn't based on popularity, but by your social needs :smallwink:

Well, even then, I still like being alone and hermitish, though I do need to get out every so often just to socialize.

[Jibar]

I've been feeling pretty bitter lately, I've been stuck at 4 because I have almost no time for anything else. I should probably stop spending what free time I have here though...

I'm just bitter because it's mating season.

[ForzaFiori]

3-6 depending on the day.
sometimes i have to be alone, sometimes i hang with my close friends. but you will rarely see me with a huge group of people.

[Charity]

*Takes a bite of Jibar*

*spraying crumbs* No no, you're still pretty sweet.

I'm the shy and retiring type... what?

[Orzel]

7

Eventually I'll have to pounce on somebody.

[SDF]

I'm just bitter because it's mating season.

Well sure thats part of it too, but I try to let that bitterness ball up inside me where it can quietly fester as a mental disease. I always thought that stuff went hand in hand with social beastiality. :P *dodges inevitable pun*

*puts up sign* Now it's wabbit season!

[AdrianoIank]

I usually range from 2 to 5, 4 (Self Sufficient) being the norm. The scale will shift in the general direction of Antisocial when my mood drops. And, honestly, hardly anybody would like to be around me when I want to be alone. I usually blanket the surrounding area with bitterness.

[I'm da Rogue!]

6-7 most days, even 8.
But there are some people I dislike from the first time I see them, and I behave really cold to them so they can leave me alone.

[DarkLightDragon]

Hm... I'd say I'm a loner most of the time...

[Dihan]

I'd say I'm a 4-6

[Rex Idiotarum]

I'm most comfortable when talking with less than 3 individuals. People who don't talk or put themselves into a conversation(Even one across the room) don't count towards this. I can be happy by myself, but I just like sitting and talking with one person, but crowds and loud noise scare and confuse me. I'd rather make you feel like you were the only person in my world, than me the only person in everyone's world.

That said, I'm at most a 3.

[PlatinumJester]

Mingler - I like my friends but hate having to socialise with people I wouldn't normally on a day to day basis. I'll be polite to those people but I'll always try and end the conversation as early as possible.

[Raven T.]

Herd Animal?

I'd classify myself (if this is based off NEED) as a Pack Animal. Although I often don't show it and lament about the stupidity of others, I do crave other people to interact with. Small numbers, though, which is where Pack comes in.

I'd say averaging about a 7.5, but with days where I sink down to 5 or 3, depending on mood.

[Zephra]

3 - Loner

yup. but I'm okay with it.

[Morty]

Hm. I'd say I'm 2 or 3. I feel really bad when confronted with big group of people, and prefer doing everything by myself. Others working alongside me slow me down, and vice versa. I'm also completely inable to participate in any form of group activities like concerts.

[B-Man]

I guess, depending on the day, I can range from 2-7. But I tend to stick 'round antisocial to self sufficient on any given day. Even if I'm with a group of friends, I can start off at a 7 but quickly turn to a 2 within 20 mins of direct exposure to people.

[blackout]

I'm a 1. Pure and simple.

[Alarra]

Hmm....I'd probably have to put myself at around a 7 usually....but it's really hard to say cause I'm very contradictory, and would at times place the number much lower.

Specifically....I always want to be around people, but when I am, I get nervous and awkward and wonder why I didn't just stay home. But when I'm home alone, I feel like I'm really missing people.

I think this has been changing for me of late (and by 'of late', I mean the past few years)..I used to be completely content with only myself and a book and could be good for days. Now it seems I'm in constant contact with people no matter what, and I'm talking to at least one, usually 3-10 people online at any given moment.

On the other hand, if...for example, I'm driving...I would much much much rather be completely by myself than with anyone else. Same thing with flying. Or wandering around a new city. My family, especially my mom, who is way social...think this very odd. But are at the same time strangely impressed when I do things like fly to Europe all by myself, or go to a musical alone. I mean, I've also gotten some panicked...'what do you mean you're wandering around London at 3am by yourself' phone calls, but yeah.

[PaladinBoy]

I used to be a 1 or a 2. This was also when most of the people I met in school ignored me/teased me.

As I've grown a little older, and met more people I like, and convinced the jerks to leave me alone, I've risen. I think I'm anywhere from a 4 to a 6 now. I love to talk to people that I know; when I do get involved in conversations I usually enjoy myself. On the other hand, I usually feel awkward meeting new people, and my idea of high entertainment is spending a day at home alone without having to worry about anything but my book/game.

[Penguinsushi]

On the 1-10 scale, I'd consider myself 7ish - even if 'people person' is by far the most cliche title up there...

I used to be much more like 3 or 4, however. Maybe lower. Then i lightened up a bit.

:smallsmile:

~PS

[Castaras]

Depending on how I'm feeling, I'd be a 2-5.

Sometimes I'm a 1, but less often now. I'm a better social person than I used to be.

Although I'm never gonna be a truly social person. And I really don't care.

[Khantalas]

So, I assume anthrophobic means scared of humans.

Yep, that's me. Scared of humanity to an extreme degree. Keep away from me, dammit! I know you all pretend to want to be with me for my fur!

[tobian]

I used to be a 3-4. Where I lived was a highly transitive area; people were moving in and out yearly. I never got attached to anyone because generally speaking they would be gone soon.

As of my current location, I have become more of a 6. People do not come and go like I was used to, which took some adjusting. It was for the better though, because I feel like I can connect to people more here. I have actually started to like getting to know new people, a prospect that would have seemed foreign to me where I used to live. Also gave me a new outlook on many things.

[Cruxador]

I'd be a 3 or a seven, depending on if I have anything to do. If I'm working on something, I like to be alone, but if not, life is my soap opera. (so to speak)

[Lemur]

Between 1 and 3 usually, so I guess I average at a 2. I generally don't take much interest in getting to know people nor do I particularly enjoy telling other people about myself, and I'm usually uncomfortable at social functions. Talking about "business" i.e. impersonal things doesn't bother me, though.


And I'd be careful classifying yourself as antisocial, it's a mental disorder that a great deal (nearly all) serial killers have, so yes, extremely bad connotations. It's not much like how it intuitively sounds, just throwing it out there.

It's not really something to worry about. People generally understand the colloquial meaning of antisocial to be a person who isn't very sociable, so the connotations of the word carry exactly what it intuitively sounds like. Also, a person who actually has antisocial personality disorder isn't likely to tell others that he has APD, unless it would benefit him somehow.

[Xero_Storm]

Also, a person who actually has antisocial personality disorder isn't likely to tell others that he has APD, unless it would benefit him somehow.
Yeah Semidi, that's just common sense. :smalltongue:

Me? I'd say a 3. Such is the price of growing up surrounded by people who would contribute about as much to any intelligent, serious conversation as the chair I'm sitting on.

[MR.PIXIE]

6Im a migler.
.................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .....

[Sisqui]

About a 3. I just plain don't like social situations. I used to buy groceries at 3 AM just so no one else would be around.......

Although I think the antisocial one should read asocial. There is a difference between not wanting to be in social situations and actually wanting to destroy or disrupt society itself. At the very least put antisocial as being worse than anthrophobic.

[Penguinizer]

It depends. I like being alone at times. But at times. I enjoy being with my friends.

[Indon]

I'm a 4. While I can socialize, overcoming my shyness in doing so, extended periods of social contact are tiring, causing me to heavily prefer spending time alone, to 'recharge' as it were.

[FdL]

I'm rather surprised to find that the majority of people here rank in the lower half...Maybe it was just me thinking that everyone here is more social than me.

[Ikkitosen]

Great in groups. Great on my own. One on one? Medium good.

As for numbers...I am not a number, I am a free man!

[Hell Puppi]

I have no idea, really. Right now i just go to work, then hang out with my bf.
I'm more of a loner by nature, but I had a friend who was easily a 10 (he HAD to be around people at some point during the day) and forced me to become more social.
I still don't have very good social skills...but I think I'd rank in around a 5.

[Indon]

I am not a number, I am a free man!

So that's a 6, then. :smalltongue:

[Hell Puppi]

Or he's living on Dune...

[Ego Slayer]

Hmm... Between 3 and 6, depending on the day. I'm usually pretty quiet around groups of people I don't know really well.

[Ikkitosen]

So that's a 6, then. :smalltongue:

*Hands Indon a cookie*

[MrEdwardNigma]

Strangely, I range from Antrophile to Antrophobe depending on what people I'm with, how tired I am, and how much I've had to drink...

[zeratul]

Hmm, probably 4 or 5.

[adanedhel9]

Hmmm... I'd probably put myself at 5.

In the past I was definitely lower - maybe 2 or 3. I always strive for independence; it's just that I've had occasional difficulties descriminating between independence and isolation. So I've gone through phases where I'd say "why do I need human contact?" I think I'm mostly done with that now.

I was going to say 4, but then I remembered these boards, and various other online communities I've been a part of. Regardless of my offline social life, I've been part of some online group or another nearly continuously for 6 years now. I've always been sad when the various previous communities have closed, or have become inhospitable, and I fear the day (may it be many years from now) when GitP goes that route as well. Recognizing this, I bumped myself up a little bit.

Also:

DEAR GOD THE STRETCHAGE! WHAT IS CAUSING THAT?

[Aramil Liadon]

2 or 3, normally. Occasionally i can go up to 5, but it's rare.

I'm surprised that so many forumites are so social. Just seems odd to me.

[Dragor]

I'm around 7, although this can fluctuate. I like to be alone sometimes, to contemplate. You could call it some sort of "Urban Meditation". I sometimes just like to watch the cars go by, sitting on a bench, by myself.

However, I'm always quite happy when surrounded by friends, talking about things.

[Siwenna]

When I'm around most people, even some of my friends, probably about 3. But most of the time when I'm alone, especially if I haven't socialized much in a while, about 7.5. If I were to average it, probably 4 or so. Right now about 7, though.

I'm the very embodiment of "the grass is always greener on the other side."

[Dunavar]

I believe I'm a 3. I have my friends, but I prefer to do stuff alone. Doesn't mean I'm unsocial on the computer though...:smallamused:

[Telonius]

Simultaneously 3 (Loner) and 8 (Socialite). I'm a performer. I love to be out and around people, love showing them a good time, love talking and listening. But this takes a lot of energy out of me. But I'm also an introvert - I need to be alone in order to "recharge the batteries."

[Hranat]

I'm a loner. Most people don't like me because they think I'm strange, and I hate it when people don't like me because I'm strange. Therefore I hate most people.

[Zeful]

I'm an Anthrophobe, no question. I can list on one hand the people I want to spend any time with, and I don't want to really communicate all that much with those people. Most types of bonding physical contact hurts, unless it's with the few people I want to associate with. And I feel I could spend months in social isolation, and not resort to making somebody up to keep me amused/sane.

[Sean92k]

Agoraphobic nuns are party animals compared to me. I'd put put myself in the -20 region

[bosssmiley]

Another typically interesting and Tribblish(tm) thread VT. Cookie for you.

Eggy: 2-5 normally, up to 9 if you ply me with booze and get me in the right crowd. Make no sense me. :smallwink:

[Serpent Stare]

I'd rank myself generally as a 3, thereabouts, but I know I've become more social recently. In fact, recently I've been feeling very lonely and wishing I had company more often. :smallfrown: It's all part of being 17, I think.

I happily hang around and socialize with my friends at the 'weekdayz' after school youth gatherings, and in the Magic: The Gathering circle at school (or the music room, for that matter) but I can't stand being around the sort of shallow highschool kids I see a lot of - they rub me entirely the wrong way and I find it excruciating even trying to talk to them. Even with people of my own interests, I sometimes (often, really) desperately need to be alone.

[Trog]

Probably around a 3. Even when I feel the need to be around people I usually keep to myself. Spending some time at a cafe amongst other people but by myself oftentimes is enough.

[CurlyKitGirl]

1-4 generally. One is fairly rare but when it happens all I want is my books and my personal CD player to block out the world. I've gone whole days like this only emerging to forage. This happens prety much whenever I'm doing something I really want/need to do. Whether it is writing or reading.
Normally I'm a Loner-Self Sufficient seeing as ALL my friends live miles away from me (UK miles that is:smallsmile: ) and when I'm with my true friends I'm about an 8. This is very rare though.
So, 3-5 is most often.

[CrazedGoblin]

im probably a 6. i REALLY don't like dealing with the general public, but i spose i don't need to as i work as an assistant in a garden center.

[SurlySeraph]

2. Friends?! I have no friends! I need no friends! Friends are for the weak! So are pants!

That's an exaggeration, of course, but I really am a die-hard loner most of the time. I've got friends, but no really close friends. I don't get to trust people easily, I work better alone, i'm personally unpleasant, and I feel guilty when I'm doing something aimless just for fun, so I don't socialize much if ever. I just don't like being around people most of the time - I don't enjoy socializing, and knowing that I'm bad at socializing makes me avoid it, so I just get into a cycle of staying on my own when I'm not at school or working or anything so I don't either annoy anyone or make myself unhappy.

[Reinboom]

I'm a 1d8 + 1 for that scale - reroll if it rolls below 4 once.

I love the company of people usually. However, at least once a week, I wish everyone to just get the hell away and leave me be.
This also changes by the hour as well.

Now if I'm in a place where I expect a group of people to be with - I start panicking when I can't find them.

Then at other times, actually a considerable number of times, I could describe myself as "Leave me alone, don't leave me behind."

[Dawn]

"I'm Independant!"
"Yeah, well let's be independant together!"

I'd say 4: Self Sufficient.

[Brickwall]

I'd say between three and four, on the three end. I can easily be very by myself, but if I go too long without any human contact, I go stir-crazy. And by that, I mean like weeks or something. Months even, if I'm otherwise occupied.

But what really brings me down there is that I go crazy without alone time. If I'm in constant interaction for too long...it's not fun. I need time to think and do stuff. People interfere with both.

[Drascin]

Around 3-4 I guess. I'm good with one-on-one, but large gatherings of people make me uncomfortable and downright nervous (and being nervous is a feeling I'm not used to and dislike greatly), which is only amplified by the fact that I don't really know how to conduct myself around people. I also am pretty self-sufficent in that I don't really need social contact that much. The odd Smash Bros gamefest every few weeks is generally more than enough :smallwink:

[Pyro]

I'm about a 3-8. Some days I can be really talkative and friendly, but on others I'm prickly and perfectly content not to talk to anyone.

[Sewer_Bandito]

I'm probably a 6 on my bad days and an 8 on my good days. I always like meeting new people, hanging out with my friends or being with a crowd. I'm comfortable in any situation, I guess.

I do however need some alone time just to think or do something by myself for awhile.

[smellie_hippie]

I'd be an 8... a social-elite. :smallbiggrin:

Oh wait... you said socialite! Oh!:smalleek: Um... yeah... that's what I'd be. :smallredface:

[Dragonrider]

yeah, 3-4 ish for me. Brickwall sounds a little like me.

I used to be far, far worse...I was literally embarrassed to open my mouth. Even when it was just with my brother. I don't think I volunteered one scrap of information from the age of two until about six. The Victorians would've loved me - "A child should be seen and not heard", right?

[Brickwall]

yeah, 3-4 ish for me. Brickwall sounds a little like me.

Except where you have a heart I just have cold, hard brick. I'm like your evil twin, only male and a good deal older. :smalltongue:

[tannish2]

6-2 depending on the day... other people annoy me... a lot. stupid people who seem unable to STFU annoy me even more, especially when they are talking, and have already said everything that they can think of, that happens way too often, and i grew my hair over my face so i could lean back against a wall/recline the chair, close my eyes, and try to sleep... i also dont understand most of what is considered courtesy and manners, and i dont follow a rule without reason to do so

(and i realize that some of it is obsolete/completely retarded... if im using deoderant ill reach across the table, if its not packed ill put my elbows on it to avoid inconvenience, no, im not going to thank you for being an ******* while giving me something i paid for, im not going to say thank you unless im ****ing thankful ,if theres something interesting to look at and your talking about is boring, i wont be looking at you while you speak, deal with it)

i care about people... i enjoy the presence of the good ones(usually, some days i hide in the trunk of a car just to get people to stfu, and i can get along perfectly fine without anyone else as long as i have food and water), but i see most as just animals, who should be fixed because they probably stand a good chance of winning darwin awards if given enough dangerous shiny objects and dont know about birth controll.

oh, and larger amounts of people in the same place is larger amounts of stupid in the same place, the more people there are somewhere the stupider EVERYONE there is... idk wtf causes it...

[heretic]

I'm a four, but I act like and get as much social interaction as a six or seven.

[Neon Knight]

I think I'm somewhere between 2 or 3. Just don't like people coming up and talking to me, and can't stand to hold a conversation for more than 30 seconds.

[Silkenfist]

5 fits the bill very well. I can live with social interaction and I can live without it.

I spent a week of vacation with my colleagues in a small cottage without feeling crowded. When I returned, I got a message from one of my best friends who was complaining that I didn't call her/ignored her calls for about 3 months. Oops. :smallredface:
Maybe 5.5 on second thought, since Mingler also sounds fitting. At least I see no problems to adapt to the specific social groups I am currently in and I generally choose adaptation over conflict for that matter.

[Shiny, Bearer of the Pokystick]

That depends on my particular phase.

If it's a good, or better, a Manic day, I'm an Eight or Nine, for sure; I sincerely love being around people, I'm a touch addict, I like to talk too much and I need people to listen. I get very lonely very quickly, and I hate being by myself.

If I'm in a bad mood or Depressed with a big D, I'd say I downgrade to a Five or Six; I still want company, and I'll talk if people make an effort to engage me, but it's hard to bestir myself to put a social fishing line out (even though I don't hate being alone any less when my mood won't let me be social- if anything, more).

Overall I'd say I rate an eight.

[Bitzeralisis]

During elementary school, I remember barely having any friends at all. Maybe I didn't have any friends. Everybody made fun of me 'cause I was a weakling and would rather be alone than with other people. At that time, I was antisocial: a two out of ten.

Around fourth grade or so my social-ness raised up to a five, after realizing how fun and wonderful having friends was ( I had just made a friend, and proceeded to make more ). I would play with them every recess, every day, raising my social-ness to a mingler by the end of fourth grade.

Fifth grade was terrible. My best friend got captivated by this guy whose charisma you could say was off the charts, and I spiraled into an antisocial depression. Social-ness at a two once more, I would mumble incoherently to myself during class and draw comics and other things like that by myself.

Ever since then I have been a loner ( 3 / 10 ), except with fellow smart people and small groups of friends I would abandon like... um... I've never been good at metaphors...

Anyways, here I am now, with fellow smart people ( anybody who plays D&D is considered a "smart people" to me ). Typing away. Being my usual self. Lurking...

I can stand being around other people, as long as they don't glance at or talk to me, unless I know them very well. Eeeeeeeeeexactly. Whatever.

I'm just surprised that the only place where I seek social-ness is in forums. Here I'd probably be a 7, a people person, talking my worries away and telling you guys ( and gals ) my thoughts. Yeah... *mumbles*


2: Antisocial.

I've said so much about myself so many times, it wouldn't make sense to choose any other option.
I'd reply to people if they want to talk to me, but I would never seek out conversation (unless absolutely necessary for other reasons - like chasing down someone over something not done) or go anywhere near where large amounts of people gather, especially if I don't know them.

Long story what lead me to this stage, but I don't really mind being antisocial in the slightest. It's me.

:smalleek: I'm real surprised!

A 6, maybe a 7 on good days.

[bugsysservant]

I'm probably a 3.5. I could easily subsist indefinitely on my own, but if I am in a room filled with talking people I would probably be a bit irritated if I had no one to talk to. So, in essence, my social needs are based on my environment, not some concrete predisposition.

I think i'm a 7 or 8 but 8 most of the time.

[Altharis]

10. or a 9 or something lower, but mainly a 10.

I just love to talk, shout, mingle and greet! It is the currency of my life. I think. (10:30 indecision setting in.)

cheers,
Altharis

4 Self sufficinant.

I've spoken to 4 people this week, and thats fine. I'm perfectly happy in the company of my thoughts, though I'm by no means opposed to human company.

I think my personality profile is a bit complex to try to sum it up with a single number. I definitely would be on the higher side of the social scale since I do like to make friends and what not. But quite honestly, I have no problems just spending quiet nights at home alone.

[ImpFireball]

FYVE. (split syllable pronunciation (madonna lyrical style): fi-vuh)

[Emperor Demonking]

I'd place myself as 2.

[InsaneOrb]

3 is optimistic.

[Hannes]

Well... 1 to 10, I should say. I really like talking to people I don't know at all, because if you screw something up, well, you won't see them ever again!

[de-trick]

id say 8 or around there I hate being alone, being stuck home makes me depressed i would have gone crazy if i never found these forums in Feb

[Raiser Blade]

I'm a mingler. :smallwink:

[Old One]

Maybe a 5 (take it or leave it) or an 8 (sociolite) I'm not sure what the grades meant. But I sure could go off into the woods for some time to be alone and would be perfectly ok with that. But I'm always happy if others want to talk with me and I can talk endlessly about anything... allright, not anything, but much anyway! :smallbiggrin: And i do like to be around people... but I don't always feel like I'm one with them. And I don't get real friends easy... only a few. So... what am I? :smallsmile:

Ranging from 3 to 5.
