I put 2 since I seem to be very anti-social. Seems like one of my worst traits.
How sociable are you?

gee, its hard to place a vote for this one since it depends on the circumstances. For example I am usually very introverted amongst people who I don't relate with and whom there is no common ground. When it comes to people who I relate too, or to people I know well however, I will engage with them just fine and be quite extroverted although hardly to the point of being a socialite, and going to parties and other such things every other day.

For some reason it is the only drinking game my friends ever end up playing, but at least its good.
Difficult to say...throughout my life I've been perceived as unsociable, shy, introverted, etc. because I tended to be emotionally defensive. Thus, around people I didn't know well, I acted formal and maintained a distance. With those with whom I felt comfortable, though, I'm quite gregarious...and in my twenties, I began forcing myself to reach out to other people, to BE friendly -- and I saw results. I made friends and have since then made a habit of being friendly to people. I still tend to live in my head too much and communicate myself in too formal a manner, but I'm getting better at being more casual. Also, I've been staying active and looking better since August or so, and I've been much more comfortable just being myself.
So for me, I'd say...7 or 8.

With strangers I'm not sociable at all. A few weeks ago I met my lady friend's kids, and later she asked them what they thought of me. They responded that I wasn't friendly. It's not that I want to be an unfriendly guy, I just am with strangers. And even with people I know, I don't talk a lot (except a girl friend like interest).
Anyways I feel people use the word antisocial incorrectly. I'm not too bothered by it, I admit it sounds more correct to say antisocial when you actually mean unsocial. But generally antisocial means you are a criminal and you hurt people.

I voted 6. I like people & find them interesting but most people are disappointing & not particularly inspiring so I don't like to get too close to most of them.
However, I wish I had more people I could really talk to. If I ever disappear from here entirely you can assume I'm either dead or have found a fulfilling social life. I can't really wrap my head around spending hours a week on an internet forum unless you have a subadequate social life.

9. I realized a week or two ago that I'm actually vastly more sociable, confident, and outspoken than I used to be. This is probably due to a combination of practicing being sociable in difficult circumstances, a shift in my social circumstances becoming much easier, and a natural preference for being outspoken and proactive.
Despite being highly sociable, I value independence and non-conformity more than most introverts. So I appear to have a best-of-both-worlds personality. I suppose I should be grateful.

I'm sociable enough to be annoyed by non-public polls. 
I am a gemine. So I suppose I should be somehow looking for the society but quite often I find it otherwise so I gave myself 5 which is rather high but I never go under 3 for sure or over 8.

I'm going to say over the past few years it's dropped to a meagre 6, I will interact with strangers on the bus and whatever but if I have music or my iPhone on me its no chance. Also when at home I'll put Facebook and Twitter on in the background it I won't wait for a message I'll play a game and check back after 3 hours. I frankly am a very anti social kinda guy.
I'm on the introverted side of the scale, I guess, but not really in a bad way. I think working in a restaurant for about five years, where I have to interact with lots of people, has helped this. I generally find that my friends are not quite as sociable as me, which means that I'm always organising things to do with them. But then, that I'm always organising things to do with them is also because I don't meet all that many new people. I'm happy enough with the social circle I have that I don't feel the need to be any more sociable and make a bunch of new friends. When I meet people I'll often be the one to strike up a conversation, but then I'm likely to avoid getting into situations where I have to do that. I'd answer 5-7, leaving towards the lower side of it.

9.... I think a 10 would be a slight overscore..
I used to be a 6 or 7 but in the last two/three years I got a bit more sociable.. I've got many groups of friends/friendish; sport, church, former highschool, study, college, people I know from parties/clubs and a few good friends. go out almost every weekend, have most of the time a girl I'm dating at that moment.
If I don't go out and meet with people twice or thrice a week I get really, really bored and don't feel like doing anything. that said I do like time for myself to play games and visit CFC
and btw... while most people wouldn't count CFC (and other forums) as being social. you do interact with people and you do look these people up. so you do have a urge to interact thus you are at least a bit social

About 3 to 4. I am generally well-liked (I think 
) in my circle of friends. I can be pretty funny (I think ) and I don't generally spoil any fun.
However, I don't like being thrown among people I don't know. (Like, going to a party with a friend who knows everyone while I just know him/her). I also don't like people who are... well, for the lack of better words, stupid. So, I will not last long in a group of people who can only talk about sports and cars ( :suicide: ).
I don't like awkward situations - I hate dancing, for example. I know I am not very... agile, and I don't want to embarrass myself in front of others (I am too self-conscious). Also, I don't talk about my personal life with people - I probably know much more about the lives of my friends that they know about mine, and I like it this way. I'd say I have a real problem to really become intimate with someone.
Really, why?

I choose 8, a year ago I would probably have said 9 or 10, but I've got a little less energy the older I get and just spending time with the gf (which I wouldn't consider being social) often seems like a nice thing. I'd still consider myself a very outgoing person though.

I think I'm more sociable than I let myself think. I know I was very sociable in high school, then the culture shock of the US hit me hard and I was so for a while and now I'm getting back into it.
I rated myself as a four. I usually have better things to do than socialize with people I don't really care about, though I can if I want to... sort of... Maybe if I lived somewhere more populous there'd be more people with similar interests to mine.
