On a scale of 1-10, rate your social skills?

[RR1997]

I rate my social skills at 5, and that's being generous (Atlas poster)

[DINGO Joe]

In real life? About an 8.  Around here? 2 maybe a 3.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

11. Job requirement.

[This account no longer in use.]

Actually not too bad. Maybe a 6-7.

[RINO Tom]

Solid 9

[Intell]

3

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

4, Great Thread!

[Хahar 🤔]

dank/10

[YaBoyNY]

10/10 because it's been a necessity for all the jobs I've ever worked. 

[RFayette]

5 or 6, but I feel like I'm on par with my fellow CS majors, so it's OK.

[Crumpets]

Meh. 6.

[Asian Nazi]

Probably like a 5 or 6?  I might've said 7 a year ago but it seems like I lost almost all of my friends after I graduated college and have relapsed into posting on a mediocre internet forum.

[Ban my account ffs!]

Real world 7 or 8... Atlas 9.

[SATW]

9 irl and like a 4 on here.

irl 4 or 5 here a 7, I'm more anti-social in person than online (anonymity and all)

[dead0man]

If 1 is somebody afraid to leave their house (or makes everybody hates them if they do) and 10 is Dwayne Johnson and 5 is an average human....I'm a soft 4.


If 5 is the average atlas poster, I'm probably more like a 7.

[Maxwell]

2.

[Antonio the Sixth]

I went from 2 in Middle School to 3 in High School, and since I started university I would say I've climbed up to 5. I hope I can continue the upward trajectory!

[Grand Wizard Lizard of the Klan]

I guess at times of high school it was 9/10. Now its something close to 7/10, but I am in such age that I don't really need and want to have many friends and do "fun stuff". Probably all of you who write that you are below 5/10 are probably not that anti-social, you just underestimate your social skills.

Weak.  About 6 I reckon.  I forget to say "thank you" sometimes and just blurt stuff out at odd moments, so I'm not in the top tier.  I definitely think I'm smarter than everyone around me and it's all I can do not to slap them, but since I manage to hold it back, I think I deserve at least a 6.

You sound more like 2 or 3 lol

[Goldwater]

Hell if I know.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Hell if I know.

Proper answer.

But for the sake of a thread, I'll say 6. I'm up from a 4 when I was in High School.

Weak.  About 6 I reckon.  I forget to say "thank you" sometimes and just blurt stuff out at odd moments, so I'm not in the top tier.  I definitely think I'm smarter than everyone around me and it's all I can do not to slap them, but since I manage to hold it back, I think I deserve at least a 6.

fair enough.  I'm not really into psychology.  I do know that a lack of social skills is exceedingly common among scientists.  The European Age of Enlightenment is filled with physical scientists whose names are associated with fundamental laws and who, by all accounts, would be labelled nowadays by speakers of psychobabble as autistic.  Not that I'm laying any claim on greatness, but apparently the types who seek out science and engineering as fields of occupation are quite likely to be among those who "lack social skills."

Also, no definition of scale was given in the OP.  I had decided to reserve the lowest rankings for trolls, murderers, rapists, psychopaths, megalomaniacs, and Donald Trump.  So, in the style of dead0man, let's call me a soft 4.  Also, I'd agree with dead0man's other qualifications:  if 5 is you, then I'm at least a 7.
