Quiz Outcomes

• 1.
  Low on the Loneliness Scale

  The possible "loneliest" person would have a total score of 80, while a person who considers himself to be a genius of connective skills, would have a score of 20. Your score, my score—everybody’s score-- falls somewhere in between, because the questions are designed to probe the different levels of confidence each of us has in our connective capacities, and few among us—if any—live their life utterly confident that they are always in tune with everyone they know, that they never lack companionship or feel alone, that they are always outgoing and friendly, and so on.
• 2.
