Now add up your total number of points....

OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care". You're seen as vain, self-centred, and who is 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.

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

41-50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, fun and always interesting; someone whose constantly the centre of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced, not to let it go to your head. They also see you as kind, considerate & understanding; someone who will always cheer them up and help them out.

31-40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you also 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 you 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.

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

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think of you as shy, nervous and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions and who rarely gets involved with anyone or anything outside of their inner circle. They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist, a pessimist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who have known you well, know that you aren't.
