Activity Level

Sheer energy is distinct from sociability, and it is one of the better predictors of what a day actually looks like.

High scorers keep many things moving and dislike idleness. Low scorers work at a more measured pace.

High Activity with low Gregariousness is a very common and very underdescribed profile: constantly busy, rarely at a party.

Four public-domain statements, answered on a five-point scale. Items marked − are reverse keyed: agreeing with them counts against the trait, which is what stops agreeing with everything from producing a high score.

• +Am always busy
• +Am always on the go
• +Do a lot in my spare time
• -Like to take it easy

Four items is not many. A facet measured this way carries real uncertainty, which is why every score on this site is reported as a range rather than a single number.
