How do those of you with scores near 30 feel about this test?
Are you actually lonely or do you think its all crap? |

I would not say lonely, but rather missing a level of intimacy, that often cannot be found in day to day life.....either because you have built up a wall or you're just typically shy....

How do those of you with scores near 30 feel about this test? Are you actually lonely or do you think its all crap? The question is not my area, as I scored an 18. Think that MANY of you might have just as easily! And, I might just as easily have scored a 30 or higher, so I'll answer anyway. Not at all lonely, though very alone. For me, it is a personality type trait. I just never have been lonely, never will be it seems. Think that sometimes, some people misconstrue boredom as loneliness. I don't get boredom, as I've literally got too many interests for the time in ANY day! Also, think some of that test's questions scaled confidence, and ability to reach out. I'd bet extroverts score much better results too. It also is one person's definition as regards "sometimes" and "rarely". Think a difference in counts there could throw the whole test on its ear. I found it discredible for these reasons, the results here and due to the fact that it was too short. |

The results indicate that I'm legally dead.

It's just a small guide that could give you some minor insight to your loneliness. |

On my way back from San Antonio today I was listening to a talk show about loneliness and how it plays a role physically and emotionally in our lives. Part of this program was a quiz. I took the original quiz and turned it into what you have below so it will auto-score you after you select your answers. http://work-arcade.com/loneliness_scale.html My score was a friggin whopping 36. Looks like I need help haha. Take the quiz and share your scores.. More to come on the science of loneliness as I do more research into the subject. 15...good thing I don't really care about being alone...that quiz is mighty f'd up though, the question and answer columns are way off.

I got a 15, but it seems that is a score of feel normal about being alone.
Now if it had said how often do you wish you were alone, that would be quite often!!!  but probably not lol...I would then miss em all!! Go figure, ehhh!
