------------------
SOCIABILITY
1 – Do you like meeting new people?
No, it makes me very uncomfortable
Not always: it depends on the moment
Quite a lot, generally speaking
A lot, especially when I go out in the company of others
Very much: also when I am out alone
2 – By chance you meet someone you have not seen in years and that person invites you to an unfamiliar club that evening. What do you do?
I try to end the conversation and leave
I let them talk knowing already that I will decline the invitation
I enquire about the club and the other guests, but I decide later
The invitation pleases me, I want to go, but I have to find someone to go with me
Great, I am looking forward to it!
3 – Do you ever feel the desire to spend time alone?
Often, I love solitude
Sometimes, when I feel the need
Rarely, I am generally better in company
No: if it happens, it is not by my own will
No, never: I am much better in the company of others
4 – How many friends do you think you have?
None
One or two
At least three or four
About ten
A lot, I do not know exactly how many

RATIONALITY
5 – You are presented with an unexpected danger that could cause you serious harm if you do not react quickly. What is your first reaction?
I panic and start screaming
Fright stops me, but I still try to react instinctively
I am bewildered for a moment, then I quickly think about how to react
I react immediately in a mechanical manner without being frightened
I quickly try to understand the situation and in the meantime I attempt a reaction
6 – After arguing with someone, perhaps for trivial reasons, what do you think?
I think I am right and I expect an apology
I think maybe we both went too far, but I stand my ground
I think we should get over it, it was not that big a deal after all
I wonder if it was worth it and if we should make peace instead
I reflect on my behaviour lucidly and then I try to clarify with the other person
7 – A doubt arises in your mind about something you may have done negligently. What is your first reaction?
I distract myself with something to take my mind off it
I try to chase the doubt away, even though it then returns
I stop for a moment to think and tell myself that everything is fine
I mentally review the situation and see if I have done something wrong
I review everything in every detail until I find the problem
8 – You are discussing with someone about a topic that is important to you, but the other person expresses superficial and debasing ideas about it. How do you react?
I get angry and interrupt them by raising my voice
I feel some discomfort and interrupt them to explain my reasons
I feel bad about it, but I wait for them to finish speaking and then say my piece
I feel some disappointment, but I let them talk
I keep calm and avoid lowering myself to their level
—————————————————
EMOTIONALITY
9 – Someone makes a questionable joke about you believing that they are not heard. How do you react?
I do not feel touched by that person’s words
I feel a little annoyed but I let it go
I feel bad about it and think of a possible revenge in the future
I get annoyed and as soon as possible I go and talk to the rude person
I get angry and confront the rude person immediately
10 – You are in the checkout line when someone walks past you pretending not to be noticed. What is your first reaction?
I do not worry about it because it is not worth it
I look at them inquisitively for a few moments and then let it go
I point out that they have stepped out of line and I beg them to go back
I give them a look of contempt and if they do not go back, I say something to them
I shout at them to go back (deepl mi dava return to his seat, io preferisco go back, l’ho messo in ogni frase)
11 – Do you ever feel that your (negative) mood affects your actions?
Not at all: my mood is stable and it does not cause me any problems
Very little: it only affects when I am really sick, but I still manage not to think about it
Somewhat: it sometimes makes things more complicated, but the result does not change
Yes: it affects me and makes me less productive, but without upsetting the outcome
Very much: it heavily affects what I do to the point of stopping me completely
12 – Bad weather is a real party pooper. Do you agree with it?
Not at all: rain does not scare me, and anyway it has its charm
Not much: you can always do something else or put it off
Yes and No: it can annoy, but it is not the end of the world
Somewhat: it annoys me and messes up my plans
Completely: it puts me in a bad mood and causes me anxiety
13 – Do you easily empathise when you watch a movie?
