Social Connection Reflection
Six statements to reflect on your social connections. It replaces an earlier "social age" that mapped a score onto ages 18–70 with no basis. Introverts with a few close ties can be just as well connected as people with large networks.
Before you start
Method : Social connection reflection: each statement counts Yes = 2, Partly = 1, Not yet = 0 (unanswered = Not yet). The total is a count of topics you have covered — not a social age, not a diagnosis.
Checked : custom checklist written by this site; not a validated questionnaire, not a diagnosis and not a prediction.
Review : not independently reviewed by an expert or by the organisation whose rules are used.
