Your score is 56, on a scale of 0 (low self-monitor) to 100 (high self-monitor). You are neither a high nor low self-monitor.

I responded positively to those behaviors that IMO are about socializing (for example, going with the flow and being amiable around others even when I'm not necessarily feeling that way), but negatively to those those behaviors that IMO are more about being the center of attention* (for example, charades, wanting to be an entertainer). That put me in the mid-range.

I got 57, for basically the same reasons. I should have gotten a much higher score but I self-monitor to fit in and avoid conflict, mainly. This involves not standing out.

i think the definition of self-monitoring indicated by the questions on this is a limited one


at least to me, introspection supersedes inspecting/adjusting appearance in social settings as far as the definition of self-monitoring goes.

There wasn't many questions and some of them I didn't really understand.

52. I remember thinking of myself as quite high on the self-monitoring scale, however.

Your score is 20, on a scale of 0 (low self-monitor) to 100 (high self-monitor). You are a LOW self-monitor.

Self-monitoring refers to how a person behaves in different contexts (ie, work, visiting friends, or shopping). A high self-monitoring person is someone who monitors and adapts their own behavior to match their surroundings. A low self monitor tends to use their internal values and beliefs to figure out how to behave.

In other words, a low self monitor will exhibit the same behavior in different contexts, whether it's a meeting at work, softball game with friends, or family reunion. A high self monitor will act differently in these different contexts, perhaps acting more formally at work or cracking jokes with friends, if that is what others are doing.

Low self monitors:

* use internal values and beliefs in deciding how to behave
* act the same in most social circles
* can be relied upon for opinions as they tend to say it like they see it
* tend to be better in research and project-based work
