How the Social Battery level is calculated
Twelve statements rated 0–3 feed three dimensions: crowd energy (40%), initiative (30%) and recovery (30%). Recovery items are reversed — needing a lot of alone time lowers the number. Each dimension is scored 0–100, the battery level is their weighted average, and the band it lands in (Low power mode, Selective, Ambivert, Life of the party, Solar powered) names your result.
One number for how much other people charge or drain you. Twelve statements, three dimensions, no hidden weighting.
The three dimensions
| Dimension | Weight | Statements |
|---|---|---|
| Crowd energy | 40% | 4 — whether a full room gives you energy |
| Initiative | 30% | 4 — how often you make the plan or open the conversation |
| Recovery | 30% | 4 — how much alone time you need afterwards (reversed) |
You rate each statement from not at all (0) to painfully accurate (3). Crowd and initiative items count directly. Recovery items are reversed: agreeing that you need a full day alone, that a cancelled plan is a relief, or that you leave without saying goodbye scores 3 − rating, so a strong need to recharge lowers the battery level rather than raising it.
The level
Each dimension is scored as points divided by maximum, times 100. The battery level is 0.4 × crowd + 0.3 × initiative + 0.3 × recovery, rounded to a whole number.
| Level | Band |
|---|---|
| 0–20 | Low power mode |
| 21–40 | Selective |
| 41–60 | Ambivert |
| 61–80 | Life of the party |
| 81–100 | Solar powered |
The band names your result; the neighbouring band towards the middle is shown as your “also close to”.
Percentiles
Once at least 200 people have completed this version, your result shows where you sit among Wabiro users. The distribution is anonymous (scores only) and self-selected: it compares you with people who took this test, not with the general population.
What it is not
Introversion and extraversion are real psychological constructs with decades of research behind them; this test is not an instrument for measuring either. It is a quick, playful reading of your social habits this season — the kind of thing your friends already have an opinion about. Nothing here is a diagnosis or a recommendation. Your ratings stay on your device; a shared result carries the level, the band and the three dimension scores.
Versioning
Version 1. A change to any statement, weight or band creates a new version; results keep theirs.
