    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
    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 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.

    Share your score, too! Did you think it described you?

    I got a 38 and believe it's a good description of me.

      I got a 41, but the 31-to-40 description is a much more accurate picture of me. I go round and round with those trust and loyalty issues as well as the whole talented-but-(overly)-cautious thing. Hmmmm. Very interesting test, Thu Van, thanks.

            I don't know about the "center of attention" part..... but I do enjoy helping others and/or cheering them up.

              41- and well, yes- I can be the center of attention. But it really doesn't go to my head!! It's just that I'm so damned interesting. (hahahaha)

                I got a 44 and that describes me pretty well, though I definitely have some 31-40 characteristics as well. I think the older I get the more 41-50 I have become.

                    I got a 42 . I think this is, for the most part, accurate. - altho, I think I exhibit traits in the 31-40 stage, as well.

                    Great quiz, ThuVan

                      I got a 43 and I definitely agree that I like to be the center of attention...but once I get a lot of attention, I get more embarassed and tend to shift it off me. So I guess I don't let it go to my head!

                        35--and yes I'm modest to insecure and loyalty is an absolute must in any relationship for me.

                        Very, very accurate.

                            I got a 44. Like Sue C, I see a lot of the 31-40 characteristics in myself. I find myself blending more in the background than being the center of attention. Maybe it is a lack of confidence thing.

                              I got a 39 - which fits me perfectly. It makes sense why it takes me longer to adjust to a new place and make good friends. Loyalty is important to me too.
