| I voted Quite Sociable, but it's quite subjective! | Dec 19, 2010 |
I have a feeling some of us Quite Sociable folk would be considered VERY sociable by some people and very introverted by others!!
I did google some quizzes to see how sociable you are, but most seem to be aimed at Teenagers and others contain such bad spelling, I couldn't recommend them here!
I do like meeting new people and generally network well, but my day job takes up a lot of my time, so I don't get to see people as often as I should.

| maybe sociable | Dec 19, 2010 |
Certainly difficult question to answer...
I think I am sociable.
I care about my (on-site)team colleagues and my clients.
Accordingly I may interact socially with them...

| Good timing! | Dec 19, 2010 |
We had a similar poll just a short while ago ("are you an extrovert?" I believe it was) so I doubt if anyone's too interested in this one today. I posted the idea a long while ago so I'm not just copying, honest.

I really appreciate spending time with others as long as it's in small doses. One big party per year is quite enough.
I've been snowed in for days and until yesterday I hadn't seen anyone other than the postman and my elderly neighbour all week. If I were more sociable, I'd be foaming at the mouth by now!

| Quite sociable | Dec 19, 2010 |
Difficult question indeed. I am a loner, I don't mind working alone and spending much time alone at home. But I also enjoy meeting people. And then, it depends on the context, in some cases I will be very shy, in some others I will be very sociable. But I tend to get more sociable over the years. This is something you can work on, I used to be very shy.

| Quite sociable | Dec 19, 2010 |
It's a quite difficult question indeed. I used to runaway from big parties. Now I just don't go to them anymore. But I have a good social life and see my friends quite often, and I don't have any problem at all to interact with small groups of people.

| Depends on the circumstances | Dec 19, 2010 |
I'm very sociable in small groups, but large parties can bother me if they're loud. A large party that isn't loud, if I know some of the people, is fine. If I get revved up about a cause, then I am motivated to socialize to enlist supporters.

| Depends on the noise level at the gathering | Dec 25, 2010 |
If it's even remotely noisy (booming music, dozens of people talking at once), my brain tends to shut down.
But at a quiet-ish gathering, I'm very outgoing.
