About This Quiz
If you like spending time alone, does that make you antisocial? Maybe, and maybe not. People often mistake being an introvert for being antisocial. Are you introverted, or are you just a little bit shy? Do you despise other people? Sometimes we aren't sure if we're really antisocial or just having a bad week, month or even year.
There are many possibilities – you might be an antisocial introvert, or you might be a social introvert, or an unfriendly extrovert. You might be a part of the group of people called ambiverts who possess the qualities of both extroversion and introversion. An antisocial personality is not the same as an antisocial personality disorder, which defines people who disregard or violate the rights of other people. When we say antisocial personality, it refers to those who continuously avoid the company of other people.
Do you look forward to social gatherings? Are you happy to attend various events and mingle with a bunch of people now and then? If you've been avoiding socializing for a while, or your whole life, does that undeniably mean that you're antisocial? Can you tell the difference between being shy and having an antisocial personality?
