Is that person standing at the edge of the crowd not talking to you because they're shy, or because they don't like you? Since they're not particularly vocal, you'll have to resort to body language, but sometimes reading people can be so hard! Luckily, this quiz will help guide you through interpreting signals to know if that quiet person in the corner just a delicate wallflower or an aloof recluse plotting your demise.

1. This timid texter has spent the whole party looking at their phone. When you sneak a peek at their screen, you see:

A. Their Tumblr newsfeed, which is full of pictures of flower crowns and Tom Hiddleston, where they're leaving all of their thoughts in the tags where no one will see them.

B. Their Twitter account, where they're live tweeting the party using the hashtag #IHateTheWorldAndEveryoneInIt

2. You keep catching them looking at you from across the room, but every time you make eye contact, they:

A. Smile quickly and look away.

B. Slide their finger across their throat and look away.

3. After risking a trip to the punch bowl, they found a spot off in the corner and have been standing by themselves ever since. While sipping their drink, they:

A. Look eagerly at every person that passes within a few feet of them with the air of someone lost on a desert island looking for a ship to come save them.

B. Scowl at the crowd, crossing their arms and emitting a palpable aura of malice.

4. When you walk by this introverted individual, you try to catch their eye and say hello. When they don't say hi to you, it's because:

A. They weren't looking at you—their gaze was off in the distance, probably contemplating the existence of dark matter or why they find it so hard to connect with people.

B. They looked piercingly into your soul, saw your every flaw laid out before them, deemed you unworthy of their time and attention, and laughed in your face.

5. You finally managed to break through and start talking to them! However, they tend to mumble when they talk, and when they realized you've noticed, they:

A. Apologize multiple times, say something about being bad at conversation, and let out an awkwardly forced, but endearing, laugh.

B. Don't apologize, mutter something about being above you and the conventional methods of human conversation, and disappear into the night in a puff of smoke.

Results:

If you got mostly A's: Aww, they're just shy! They just need a little encouragement to ease them into conversation, but once you give this withdrawn wallflower a chance, they'll open right up to you!

If you got mostly B's: Wow, this person definitely does not want to be at this party, and they definitely hate you. Don't get too beat up about it; they're not big fans of anyone. You should cut your losses and avoid striking up conversation, so you don't end up on their list of especially hateful people.
