Now add up the total number of points.
OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You're seen as vain, self-centered, and extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality, a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once, someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting, someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding, someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expects the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you, realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well, know that you aren't.
 

I got a 39.

I also object to several of the questions on the grounds that they do not apply to me at all -

3. When talking to people you...

(F) - Talk with my hands

4. When relaxing, you sit with..

(E) I can be relaxed in ANY position

6. When you go to a party or social gathering you...

(D) I don't GO to parties or gatherings
 
I'm more worried about the questions that do apply to you that aren't on the test.:playful:

Oh, THOSE would be legion!

As a psych / metaphysics major in college I was subjected to many, many tests - by the time I was going for my Master's my nickname was "Hercules" because of all the testing I underwent ("The 12 Labors of Hercules"). You name it, they tested me for it: IQ / achievement, leadership, neuropsychological, personality, objective, projective, sexological, direct observation, group interaction, therapies of every shape, size and color from classical Freudian to Primal Scream.

The doctors who didn't experience nervous breakdowns bought new Porsches. ;)
 
33 for me. It puts me on the border of two categories and I can see pieces of myself in both categories.

I highly doubt anyone sees me as "clever, gifted, or talented" - lol lol but "21 - 30" fills that gap.

When you're not smart, you'd better be painstaking, cautious, and careful - no matter how much it *isses off your husband. One of us has to be :boxing:

Interesting and fun but best of all free and I didn't have to go thru a job interview where they said my "psychological profile deemed me not suitable for the job" :stupid:
 
Scored a 44. I am very practical and a good listener. I have been told I am kind to a fault. I do like to perk people up when they are having a bad day. Center of attention, I don't know about that one, I avoid being the center of attention like the plague.
 
I was too lazy to get a pencil and paper, and was having some ADD today, so I just guesstimated by taking a quick glance at the questions, then the answers, then figured my score to be around the median. So, I figure 31 to 40 points. The accompanying assessment seems pretty accurate(kind of like a daily horoscope or fortune cookie):

sounds about right.
 
I got a 56. Sounds pretty accurate, except for this bit: quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones.

They are ALWAYS the right ones! lol

They should have included the values at the end of each answer. I had to check my math 3 times.
 
47...not sure if I agree. Funny how others see you differently than you see yourself (or maybe I'm kidding myself :-/)
 
45!

It seems to fit pretty well. I shamelessly admit that the older I get the more attention I appreciate. The last sentence fits which is why I love my job. I see a lot of sad people some days. A positive attitude helps.
