The loneliness test

How/why are you lonely?

Take this test.

This is what I got.

Paradox
You scored 21 Socially Involved, 35 Alienated, 33 Contented and 20 Optimistic.

Somehow, you managed to be quite socially discontented yet not alienated to others and/or your surroundings. Your social involvement score is low, meaning that you're apparently not highly social. The conjunction of these facts likely means that you're not significantly alienated to a certain group of persons/environments (e.g., a few close friends, a parent, or the natural world) while you are alienated to a group of different persons/environments -- in just such a way that alienation to the other group critically lowers your level of contentment.

Your optimism score is fairly low as well, which is probably the result of your current feelings of discontentment. You may want to consider a non-serious relationship with someone whose company you nonetheless enjoy. This could raise your contentment score and your self-confidence, while at the same time, not potentially resulting in a painful rejection. So, a non-serious relationship seems like a safe bet with potentially high returns.

You scored 73 Socially Involved, 8 Alienated, 67 Contented and 13 Optimistic

Hmm, now I wonder why you were taking this test in the first place. But anyhow, you're apparently not a lonely one. 🙂 You socialize fairly often, don't suffer from alienation, and accordingly find yourself rather contented. Your optimism score was low because you're not needy in the first place and therefore aren't significantly hoping for better to come.

Bah.

pretty much what i expected. and i've already read steppenwolf.

Dispirited Loner
You scored 18 Socially Involved, 65 Alienated, 26 Contented and 30 Optimistic
Alienated, badly discontented, and mostly hopeless that things will improve. You're a lonely one. My advice is to take note of your alienation score; it's higher than it could be. Although in one sense alienation is a state in which your interests are not in harmony with others', alienation is also a psychological state in which you have trouble relating to and appreciating your world. Some aspects of your world are probably better not appreciated, while others maybe are. Nonetheless, working to transform the mind -- and/or meeting someone who understands you and shows you love -- can relieve you of a lot of alienation, thereby reducing your feelings of loneliness and raising your general level of contentment. Once this takes place, you may also find yourself more sociable, perhaps because you have less to lose by being social, since you're comfortable in the world without an additional friend. Consider reading Hermann Hesse's book, Steppenwolf.

I was going to do the test....right up until Question 4, where it asked if i had any pets. The only no options are "No, but i want one", and No, even dogs don't like me".

My score on The Existential Loneliness Test:

**************************************

Happy Socialite
(You scored 70 Socially Involved, 11 Alienated, 63 Contented and 41 Optimistic)

"Social, contented, and optimistic, persons of your archetype are the least lonely. While you're apparently mostly content with your social life, your optimism score indicates that you expect an even more fulfilling life in your future. And given your starting point (where you're at now), you'll probably actualize these hopes."

Take it!

I agree, very often the options were pathetic. But I took it anyway...

You scored 24 Socially Involved, 19 Alienated, 70 Contented and 10 Optimistic

You appear to have managed to find contentment in spite of not being heavily social, a tremendous feat for any human being. You're not lonely, so you don't need to spend time thinking of how you could have a better social life. Congrats![/b]

Happy Socialite (This surprised me, as I'm not terribly social.)

Social, contented, and optimistic, persons of your archetype are the least lonely. While you're apparently mostly content with your social life, your optimism score indicates that you expect an even more fulfilling life in your future. And given your starting point (where you're at now), you'll probably actualize these hopes.

Ok, i took the damn test........
