I scored a 48. :)

Don't be overly sensitive! The following is pretty accurate and it only takes 2 minutes.

Answers are for who you are now...... not who you were in the past. Have pen or pencil and paper ready. This is a real test given by the Human Relations Dept. at many of the major corporations today. It
helps them get better insight concerning their employees and prospective employees.

10. (a) 4 (b) 2 (c) 3 (d) 5 (e) 6 (f) 1


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 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 & 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.

I got a 49. So I wonder how many people here will get in the 40's.

Lorna,

Thanks for this one. You always find such interesting "stuff".

I scored 51. Looks to be fairly accurate although I could just as well be in the 40s list according to the definition.

Thanks again Lorna and by the way I love your new avitar.

Hugs, Paige

51 points mostly.

If I am wearing a skirt, however, it goes down to 46 because I normally sit with legs crossed, but in a skirt I it is usually with one leg curled under me.

Wonder why there was no "pink" in the color question? Wouldn't have changed my answer because my favorite colors are blue and purple, but was wondering.

Question 2 was kind of ridicules with regard to speed. I would guess most of us have a different concept of speed. Plus it depends on the length of your natural stride.

You can measure your stride length by standing with your legs together, heels against the wall. Close your eyes and lean forward. You'll take a natural step forward to stop your fall and that distance is your natural stride length. Mine's 30", so I walk slower than many people even though I'm moving my legs at the same rate as others.

Question 1 should have had more options, like -No Difference-

HI girls,

I scored a 37. The description seemed relevent to me, however with only 10 questions is it difficult for me to give such a test any credence.

Love always,
Elizabeth

i think that tottaly describes my personality.

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

I scored a 47 - 49, depending on my answer to #4.

If I am wearing high heels, then I sit with legs crossed (b), making my score 49.

When I am not wearing heels, then I usually sit with my legs side by side (a), making my score 47.

Overall, I did find this to be fairly accurate! Thank you for the test, Lorna!!

I scored 37 (and I'd agree with Elizabeth, ten questions is limited).

Still, a fun test, thanks Lorna.
