280 - 300 points
There is a suspicion that you did not always carefully read the questions posed or did not always answer them sincerely.
Make a second try: check yourself again.
200 - 280 points
You should be pleased with yourself. At least this applies to your ability to communicate.
You willingly spend your free time among people and, conversely, in any society you are desired. You have a lively mind, impressionable, a good listener and storyteller.
All these and some other abilities lead to the fact that you often become the center of attention.
100 - 200 points
your attitude towards public life not easy to determine.
On the one hand, you have qualities and inclinations that make you a pleasant member of society.
On the other hand, other qualities of your character seem to slow down the first ones. In general, you can feel quite satisfactory in society.
But, in any case, it is not easy for you to adapt to any environment. This matches your mood.
But among the people you sympathize with, you often spend very pleasant hours.
50 - 100 points
As a rule, you like loneliness. In a narrow family or friendly circle you feel much better than in big company.
You appear to be an introvert. By the way, many famous personalities, who went down in history, often belonged to this category of people.
Less than 50 points
This result is small.
You need to try to be more social. For you cannot explain to everyone that you are a complete introvert, that this property is from nature.
Not understanding this, many people think: if they don’t want to talk to me, it means that they treat me badly. And having “washed your bones”, two or three such critics will completely agree that you are a bad person.
Of course, you can ignore it if it doesn't bother you.
But if it hurts - try to develop the ability to communicate.
Find out your sociability factor. To do this, it is proposed to answer 16 test questions by V. F. Ryakhovsky. The answer must be unambiguous: “yes”, “no”, “sometimes”.
1. You have an ordinary or business meeting. Does her anticipation unsettle you?
2. Are you postponing a visit to the doctor until it becomes unbearable?
3. Do you feel embarrassed and dissatisfied with an assignment to make a report, report, information at any conference, meeting or similar event?
4. You are offered to go on a business trip to a city where you have never been. Will you make every effort to avoid this business trip?
5. Do you like to share your experiences with anyone?
6. Do you get annoyed if a stranger on the street turns to you with a request (show the way, tell the time, answer some other question)?
7. Do you believe that there is a problem of "fathers and sons" and that it is difficult for people of different generations to understand each other?
8. Are you embarrassed to remind a friend that he forgot to return 10 rubles to you, which he borrowed a few months ago?
9. In a restaurant or in the dining room, you were served an obviously poor-quality dish. Will you keep silent, only angrily pushing the plate?
10. Once alone with a stranger, you will not enter into a conversation with him and will be burdened if he speaks first. Is it so?
11. You are horrified by any long line, no matter where it is (in a store, library, cinema box office). Would you prefer to give up your intention than to stand behind and languish in anticipation?
12. Are you afraid to participate in any conflict resolution committee?
13. You have your own purely individual assessments of works of literature, art, culture, and you do not accept any other people's opinions on this matter. This is true?
14. Having heard somewhere in the lobby an obviously erroneous point of view on a matter well known to you, would you prefer to remain silent and not enter into an argument?
15. Do you get annoyed when someone asks you to help you sort out a particular service issue or study topic?
16. Are you more willing to express your point of view (opinion, assessment) in writing than oral?
Rate the answers: for each "yes" - 2 points, "sometimes" - 1 point, "no" - 0. Then total number sum the points.
30-32 points. You are clearly uncommunicative, and this is your misfortune, since you yourself suffer the most from this. But it is not easy for people close to you! You are difficult to rely on in a matter that requires group effort. Try to become more sociable, control yourself.
25-29 points. You are closed, taciturn, prefer loneliness, and therefore you probably have few friends. New job and the need for new contacts, if it does not plunge you into a panic, then it unbalances you for a long time. You know this feature of your character and are dissatisfied with yourself. But do not limit yourself to such discontent - it is in your power to reverse these character traits. Doesn't it happen that with any strong enthusiasm you suddenly acquire complete sociability? It just takes a shake.
19-24 points. You are sociable to a certain extent and feel quite confident in unfamiliar surroundings. New challenges don't scare you. And yet with new people converge with caution, you are reluctant to participate in disputes and disputes. There is sometimes too much sarcasm in your statements for no reason at all. These shortcomings are correctable.
14-18 points. You have good communication skills. You are inquisitive, willingly listen to an interesting interlocutor, patient enough in dealing with others, defend your point of view without irascibility. Feel free to meet new people. At the same time, do not like noisy companies; extravagant antics and verbosity annoy you.
9-13 points. You are very sociable (sometimes, perhaps even beyond measure). Curious, talkative, like to speak out on various issues, which sometimes irritates others. Willingly meet new people. Love to be the center of attention, do not refuse requests to anyone, although you cannot always fulfill them. It happens, flare up, but quickly move away. What you lack is perseverance, patience and courage when faced with serious problems. If you wish, however, you can force yourself not to back down.
4-8 points. You must be the shirt guy. Sociability beats the key out of you, you are always aware of everything. Like to take part in all discussions, although serious topics can give you migraines and even blues. Willingly take the floor on any issue, even if you have a superficial idea about it. Everywhere you feel at ease. You take on any business, although you can’t always successfully bring it to the end. For this very reason, managers and colleagues treat you with some apprehension and doubt. Consider these facts!
3 points or less. Your communication skills are painful. You are talkative, verbose, interfering in matters that have nothing to do with you. You undertake to judge problems in which you are completely incompetent. Willingly or unwittingly, you are often the cause of all sorts of conflicts in your environment. Quick-tempered, touchy, often biased. Serious work is not for you. People - and at work, and at home, and generally everywhere - it's hard with you. Yes, you should work on yourself and your character! First of all: cultivate patience and restraint in yourself, treat people more respectfully, and finally, think about your health - this lifestyle does not go unnoticed.
Everyone can become a sociable and pleasant person, and for this it is absolutely not necessary to have any special “sociability genes”, talent. You need to work on yourself, improve your own level of sociability!

in) I freely communicate with both acquaintances and strangers, for me there is no difference.
- Can you feel discomfort from the fact that the company pays little attention to you or ignores you at all?
a) I even like it, I don't like being the center of attention; I prefer to watch what happens;
b) sometimes it hurts me, but for the most part, the lack of attention suits me, there is time to assess the situation;

- Are you more of an active listener or an experienced storyteller?

b) I love to listen and speak; the main thing is that everything should be in place, and those who are next to me should be interested;

Trying to live like a hermit, you avoid new acquaintances, lose interesting interlocutors and deprive yourself of new experiences. Try to treat people easier, and they will stop scaring you.
If your answers are more options B, then you are an open person, but you know very well what you want. If what is happening is not interesting, you can instantly close, avoiding unnecessary communication. Your ability to navigate the situation helps you make the most of new acquaintances.
If you have more options B, then you are a “shirt-guy”. You are so open that you even scare some people with your frankness and activity. Try to still learn to adapt to different situations, this will help you look better in the eyes of others.
