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.
