Apr 5, 2022 at 13:40	comment	added	LSpice		This is a great answer. (It's a bit confusing to use $\psi$ for an element of $V$ rather than of $V^*$ … but maybe that's just my taste in naming vectors.) What you propose as a sufficient condition for anti-symmetry is, I would argue, the right definition—usually called ‘alternating’—as the only one that carries over sensibly to characteristic $2$; but, of course, in characteristic $2$, one doesn't worry about defining the sign anyway.
