OVER 60 POINTS:
Others see you as some one 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 centre 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 friend 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 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 the of 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 your carefully nature and partly by laziness.

UNDER 21 POINTS:
People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone needs to be looked after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions and who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything. They see you as a worrier, who sees problems that don't exist. Some people think your are boring. Only the people who know you well know that you aren't. The trouble is that you don't let very many people get close to you.
