Results:

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 a bold and venturesome; someone who will try anything-well almost anything-once; someone
who takes a chance and enjoys 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 and always
interesting; someone who is constantly 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 shaken.

FROM 21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking, perhaps a little fussy at times. 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 y
