Find out just how shy you are by taking the following quiz.
For each of the statements you feel is true, giving yourself either one or two points. One if you would be willing to admit you think it's true to others, two if you feel it is true, but would only admit to yourself.
Give yourself zero for statements you feel are false:
1. I would rather listen than speak.
2. I know less than most people.
3. I feel most comfortable taking to kids (or animals or plants).
4. Most social activities are a drag.
5. Popular people are born that way.
6. I can talk to people if I want to, I just don't want to.
7. Small talk is boring so I just don't bother.
8. I don't know how to strike up a conversation.
9. My personalities make me quiet.
10. I don't have to talk much on my job, so i'm just out of practice.
11. There's no point in talking; people never listen anyway.
12. People never take to me when they first meet me.
13. I'm quiet because I don't come from a family of talkers.
14. I guess I'm just a loner.
15. Self-confidence comes naturally to some people, not to me.
16. I'd talk more, but no one ever wants to talk about serious things.
17. Talk is cheap. Actions speak louder than words.
18. I don't like classes that involve discussions. I'm praying to hear the Professor lecture.
19. People are always jumping on my ideas.
20. Most people talk without thinking. By the time I think what I want to say, it's always too late.
Count up your points. A score of ten or more indicates that you could be a happier, more successful and fulfilled person by overcoming your shyness.
Have a nice day...
Good Luck
