I'm too tired to write much intelligent tonight

so I thought I'd do a quick quiz. Little did I know it was over 40 questions long! Here it is:

Your result for The Social Orientation Inventory...

The Groupie

+Attent/Other/+Attach/+Emo/-<3/Broad/Insecure


You scored 51% Attention-desiring, 67% Other-directedness, 60% Attachment-desiring, 77% Emotionality, 33% Romance-seeking, 74% Range, and 28% Secureness.


Your Bonding Quadrant: Merging


Summary: You seek validation in the forms of both quantity and quality in your friendships. You can never have enough people with whom to forge lasting bonds. You become very invested in your friends' issues. You are likely to fear abandonment.


Here is a glossary to help you understand the cryptic, septapartite notation of your SOI type:




-Attent=low desire for attention, acknowledgement, and/or interaction


+Attent=high desire for attention, acknowledgement, and/or interaction (specific attentional needs vary from type to type)





Self=more interested in oneself than in others when interacting


Other=more interested in others than in oneself when interacting




-Attach=does not seek out long-term attachments


+Attach=seeks out long-term attachments




-Emo=prefers unemotional relationships


+Emo=prefers emotionally intense relationships




-<3=low desire for sex and/or romance


+<3=high desire for sex and/or romance




Narrow=interacts with few people


Broad=interacts with many people




Insecure=expects negative evaluation from others


Secure=does not expect negative evaluation from others

Merging=High attachment-seeking, high emotionality (merging types are prone to obsession; devotion; identity crises; offspring)


Companionate=High attachment-seeking, low emotionality (companionate types are likely to be loyal, cool-headed, and dependable, with a long-term temporal orientation)


Acute=Low attachment-seeking, high emotionality (acute types tend toward extremes, and temporal orientation is mostly immediate)


Distant=Low attachment-seeking, low emotionality (distant types are the most autonomous and the most avoidant)
