So, how did you come out?
OVER 60 POINTS:
Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You are seen as
vain, self-centered, and extremely dominant. Others may admire you and wish they could be
more like you, but they don't always trust you and hesitate to become too deeply involved
with you.
FROM 51 TO 60 POINTS:
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a
natural leader, quick to make decisions though not always the right ones). They see you as
bold and venturesome, someone who will try an adventure. They enjoy being in your company
because of the excitement you radiate.
FROM 41 TO 50 POINTS:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting;
someone who is instantly the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to
let it go to your head. They see you also as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone
who will cheer them up and help them out.
FROM 31 TO 40 POINTS:
Other people 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 too
easily, but someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you do make and who expects the
same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize that 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 broken.
FROM 21 TO 30 POINTS:
Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very, very cautious and
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. They expect you to examine
everything carefully from every side and then, usually decide against it. They think this
reaction on your part is caused partly by your careful nature and partly by laziness.
UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs to be looked 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 sees problems that don't exist.
Some people think you're boring. Only the people who know you well know that you aren't. |
