Hobbies for people who work alone.

Some people recharge through doing. These hobbies score at the solo end of the Social dimension — the practice is fundamentally independent.

What makes a hobby truly solo?

A hobby scores low on the Social dimension when its core practice is fundamentally independent — you do not need another person to start or improve. The feedback loop is internal.

Solo vs antisocial

Most solo hobbies have thriving communities around them. The dimension describes the primary practice, not your social life around it.
