 Your result for The Social Orientation Inventory ...The Social Flutterby

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

You scored 81% Attention-desiring, 57% Other-directedness, 34% Attachment-desiring, 44% Emotionality, 43% Romance-seeking, 97% Range, and 79% Secureness.

Your Bonding Quadrant: Distant


Summary: You crave regular interaction and like to keep the focus on other people. Although you have many acquaintances, you don't get too close, and you don't put much effort into keeping particular people in your life. Interpersonal relationships are more about shared interests than shared emotions for you.

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)

So there.
