Well, it should be common to get a low score for this quiz but I thought it would be interesting to see other people's results. I actually scored higher than I thought I would with a 37.

Are you socially compentent?

I scored a 27, which is a "fairly low score" according to the site.

I surprised myself by scoring a 41, which is apparently in the average range. My (virtually non-existent these days) social life definitely doesn't indicate anything remotely approaching an average level of social activity and success.
IMHO, one flaw with this test is that it's highly questionable that one would be able to accurately assess his/ her own level of social competence. After all, social competence is largely related to how successfully one is able to present oneself to, and successfully interact with others.
The results would most likely be a lot more accurate if a sampling of people each of us interact with on a regular/ semi-regular basis were to answer questions regarding our social competence, and then the scores from those people's answers were averaged.
In any case, I'm over-analyzing, as I tend to do. I'll stop "talking" for now.

I got 30. And I'm not even diagnosed yet. Well, this is one more piece of conclusive evidence!! Great quiz, but some of the questions in the quiz are the same as the ones in the emotional intelligence quiz, on which I also scored very low, and it was quite a short quiz too.

46 - I think I've changed a lot, particularly in the last 10 years since I've stopped being a drunk. Therapy helped me see other people's perspectives too and better ways of interacting. I think I would have gotten a vastly different score 20 years ago.

I got 27 . . . which is not very good. Apparently I'm not very empathetic.

Who'd have thought?

I got a 26.

Quote:

You had a fairly low score on this test. People with such a profile typically have difficulty recognizing the emotions of others and thus cannot respond adequately. They have problems understanding the underlying motives behind people's actions, which may hinder their social interactions. They respond to the face value of behaviors, making them likely to misread and react to the wrong interpretation of the situation. They find it difficult to put themselves into someone else's shoes and see the situation from another perspective. This tendency can make them a bit narrow-minded and set in their ways. They are not generally empathetic or in tune with how others are feeling, lack social insight and may have some trouble making meaningful human connections. For individuals of this nature, it can seem that other people's reactions come out of the blue - they cannot anticipate what's coming.

Overall Results
64
Your score on this test was slightly above average. Individuals in this range are typically able recognize the emotions of others and understand the underlying motivations behind their actions. They are also able to put themselves in other people's shoes and empathize, which is obviously an important skill for having satisfying and meaningful human interaction. Their understanding of others helps them understand how best to approach, interact with, and help people in a variety of situations.

I beg to differ. :lol:
