The Loneliness Test is a psychological assessment designed to evaluate the degree of loneliness experienced by an individual. It was developed by referencing existing scales such as the UCLA Loneliness Scale developed by the University of California, Los Angeles, and the University of the Philippines Loneliness Assessment Scale (UPLAS), incorporating unique questions of its own. These scales explore various aspects of loneliness, including the lack of social connections, feelings of isolation, and satisfaction with interpersonal interactions.

Loneliness is a subjective feeling of having insufficient social connections, distinct from the objective state of being alone. It can range from temporary to chronic and can have mild to severe psychological effects.

Feeling lonely can offer opportunities for deepening self-understanding, promoting introspection and creativity. However, prolonged feelings of loneliness can increase the risk of mental health issues like depression, anxiety, stress, and even physical health problems such as heart disease and Alzheimer's disease.

This test aims to help individuals objectively assess their own feelings of loneliness and, if necessary, take steps toward seeking professional support or strengthening social connections.
