HOW IN CONTROL ARE YOU? WHAT YOUR
SCORE MEANS
Control Freak (24-18)
You're a controller! The higher your score, the more you are in control of your life. Or would like to be. You're just like Madonna, organising your life so spectacularly that even your children come in the right order, on time, and when you want them. Your wedding will be, like hers, a major opporturnity for people to see you exactly as you want them to. Like her, you'll have every detail sorted. Sounds fun, doesnt it? For goodness sake, lighten up. Life cannot be totally controlled. Ask yourself why you need to be in such control. Let go a bit more and you might finally do what you fear most-enjoy yourself.

* You like a bit of control over your life but you've no illusions.You know control is, well, an illusion. So you do what you can to control what you can but you dont mind letting others sometimes lead the way, or let life take you where it will. Life isn't completely about fate but nor is it something where we have total control over the script, principal players and plot. You recognise that. You're healthy, fun to be with and friends appreciate you. Just make sure those parts of your life you are trying to control are the ones that matter-mostly your health and finances. As for the rest, have fun. Don't be too hard on others if they don't share your balanced attitude to life.

You're either a complete wimp or, much more cleverly, you prefer to let others take the sweat out of your existence and make all your decisions for you. You're so easygoing and laid back, you're practically falling over. You don't mind what happens to you. You know you'll enjoy it. But you could be in denial. Maybe you fear other's won't listen to you so you just go along with what they say. Perhaps you fear trying to have more control over your life because you understand how hard this can be. Maybe you're a youngest child or someone who has a "rescue me" script-you're just waiting for others to make your life okay. It won't work. You need to grow up a bit. It's fine to be easygoing, but try form some opinions of your own.
