How to Interpret My Social Skills Test Results?

After completing the Social Skills Test, you will receive scores for each module, with a maximum of 100 points in each area. To interpret your results, please consider the following guidelines:

If a module score is above 50 points, it indicates that you have a good foundation in that social skill and can handle most situations with ease.

If a module score is below 50 points, it suggests that you may face some challenges or difficulties in that area and have room for improvement and adjustment.

The detailed descriptions of each module will provide further insight into what your scores mean. We recommend you carefully review each module’s score to understand your strengths and areas that need improvement. This will help you formulate a targeted enhancement plan to continuously refine your social skills.

Can I Use the Social Skills Test to Assess Others?

Yes, you can answer each question based on how you believe the test subject would perform. However, if you’re unsure of someone’s answer to a particular question, you may need to make subjective guesses. The more you guess, the lower the accuracy and reliability of the results. Additionally, the so-called 'behavior' will come from your understanding of the person. In this case, accuracy may be compromised and will be less precise compared to testing yourself.

Explanation of Each Module

Insight

Insight is the ability to deeply understand others' thoughts, feelings, and motivations, including observing and interpreting others' words, behaviors, and expressions to accurately grasp the nuances in interpersonal interactions. People with high insight can quickly identify others' emotional states, intentions, and potential needs, which allows them to navigate social situations with ease. In the workplace, insight can help employees better understand others' ideas, facilitating cooperation and communication; in personal relationships, it can promote deeper understanding and empathy. It is important to note that over-reliance on insight may lead to overinterpretation or subjective assumptions, so balance and objectivity are equally important.

Communication Skills

Communication skills are the abilities to effectively convey and receive information in interpersonal interactions, including aspects such as verbal expression, written communication, and listening skills. Good communication skills can help us clearly express ideas, understand others' viewpoints, resolve conflicts, and build positive relationships. Communication is not a one-way process but an interaction between two or more parties. In modern society, the importance of communication skills is increasingly prominent; they not only affect personal quality of life but also directly relate to career development and team collaboration efficiency.

Social Confidence

Social confidence is the self-assurance and composed attitude an individual displays in social settings. It is an inner sense of security and trust in one’s abilities, allowing a person to handle various social situations with ease. People with social confidence can usually converse effortlessly with others, express their viewpoints, and establish a positive presence within a group. In the workplace, maintaining social confidence can lead to more opportunities; in personal life, it helps individuals build deeper and broader connections. It’s worth noting that social confidence doesn’t mean never feeling anxious or uneasy, but rather being able to stay calm and respond positively when facing these emotions.

Emotional Management

Emotional management is the ability to recognize, understand, and regulate one’s own emotions, including how to appropriately express feelings and effectively cope with stress and negative emotions. The core of emotional management lies in self-awareness and self-regulation, requiring us to accurately identify our emotional states, understand the causes of emotions, and adopt appropriate ways to adjust or express these emotions. Good emotional management skills can help us maintain psychological balance, improve the quality of interpersonal relationships, and remain rational and calm when facing challenges. It is worth mentioning that good emotional management does not mean suppressing or denying emotions but handling them in a healthy and constructive way.

Social Adaptability

Social adaptability is the ability to flexibly adjust one’s behavior and attitude in different social environments and situations, including sensitivity and responsiveness to social norms, cultural differences, and interpersonal dynamics. It requires us to have observation skills, empathy, and flexibility, enabling us to adjust our communication methods and behavior patterns according to different circumstances. People with high social adaptability can quickly understand and integrate into new social environments, establish good relationships with people of different backgrounds and personalities, and conduct themselves appropriately in various social settings. It is important to note that high social adaptability does not mean completely changing oneself to please others but being able to flexibly respond to different social situations while maintaining one’s authentic self.

Social Support

Social support refers to the various forms of help and resources an individual obtains from social interactions, including emotional support, informational support, and practical assistance. As an important element in interpersonal relationships, social support can provide a buffering effect when facing life’s stresses and challenges. In daily life, social support can come from family, friends, colleagues, or community members, manifested in various forms such as listening, encouragement, advice, or concrete help. People who have good social support often can better cope with difficulties, maintain physical and mental health, and enhance life satisfaction.
