Social Connection & Friendship Style Test
The item set or construct comes from published research or a public-domain measurement program, but this product form may be shortened, combined, translated, or presented differently from the source administration.
What it measures
A 20-item profile of how you tend to approach social contact, closeness, group connection, supportive behavior, and reading interpersonal situations.
What you complete
20 scored items across 5 displayed dimensions
How the score is made
Declared Likert items are summed after reverse-keying where specified, then transformed to a 0–100 display scale. The display is a response score, not a population percentile, unless an official lookup conversion is explicitly named.
Consistency evidence
No reliability coefficient has been estimated from Inward Atlas users for this online administration. Where a source link is provided, consult it for evidence about the original instrument or source scale.
What the evidence supports
The item set or construct comes from published research or a public-domain measurement program, but this product form may be shortened, combined, translated, or presented differently from the source administration. Inward Atlas has not independently established criterion, predictive, or cross-cultural validity for this implementation.
How values should be read
No representative Inward Atlas norm sample is applied. Displayed 0–100 values are transformed response scores, not percentile ranks or claims about comparison with a population.
Source and implementation record
Friendliness retains the Johnson IPIP-NEO-120 4-item wording/keying. Capacity for Love, Teamwork, Kindness, and Social Intelligence retain the balanced 4-item IPIP-VIA-R short-scale wording/keying. Inward Atlas combines the five source scales into a new social-connection product, so the combination is Level B.
Limitations shown with the assessment
- This profile combines established public-domain IPIP scales into a new Inward Atlas social-connection product; source-scale evidence does not automatically validate the combined product.
- The result does not measure popularity, number of friends, social worth, loneliness, or the objective quality of your relationships.
- The 0–100 values are transformed self-report scores, not population percentiles.
- A lower score can reflect reserve, selectivity, boundaries, context, culture, or current circumstances and should not be treated as a social deficit diagnosis.
Implementation notes
- Every source scale contributes four items with original key direction.
- This 20-item combination is not presented as a separately validated friendship-quality or social-skills instrument.
