About this scale
Human beings are social animals! Humans typically want to be with other people. People in social isolation suffer terribly. Loneliness (which can be measured with Psytoolkit here ) is a very unpleasant feeling. Part of our social nature is that we need to be able to understand and interprete others, and this ability is known as social intelligence .
