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 one who is extremely
domineering. 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, one
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 and 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 expect 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 it 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.
