They keep detailed records of people’s actions—like how often these people speak to others or how long it takes someone to say hello to a stranger. Another way to measure shyness is to ask people questions. The test only takes about 10 minutes. It asks questions like "Do you like going out a lot?", "Do you feel at ease in a strange environment?" and "Do you have many friends?" People must answer either yes or no.
