POINTS:



1. a = 2 b = 4 c = 6



2. a = 6 b = 4 c = 7 d = 2 e = 1



3. a = 4 b = 2 c = 5 d = 7 e = 6



4. a = 4 b = 6 c = 2 d = 2



5. a = 6 b = 4 c = 3 d = 5 e = 2



6. a = 6 b = 4 c = 2



7. a = 6 b = 2 c = 4



8. a = 6 b = 7 c = 5 d = 4 e = 3 f = 2

g = 1



9. a = 7 b = 6 c = 4 d = 2 e = 1



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





Now add up your 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.



51-60 POINTS: Others see you as exciting, highly volatile, rather
impulsive personality; a natural leader who is quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. You are perceived as bold & adventuresome who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure or a risk. They enjoy being in your company because of he excitement you radiate.

41-50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, fun and always interesting; someone who's constantly the center of attention, but sufficiently well- balanced not to let it go to your head. They also see you as kind, considerate & understanding; someone who will always cheer them up and help them out.



31-40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you also 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 you 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.

21-30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking & fussy. They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow & steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment. Your friends expect you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then usually decide against it. They believe this reaction is caused mostly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think of you as shy, nervous and indecisive,someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions and who rarely gets involved with anyone or anything outside of their inner circle. They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist, a pessimist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who have known you well, know that you aren't.

I'd say that's about right.

7. funny story with Dr. Phil:
One of my college friends was on the show about a year ago as a guest.
His wife dragged him on to discuss their sex life (or lack thereof).

Their story: He runs a gym in Las Vegas and works 24-7, leaving no time for sex or anything else. And she made him talk about it with the good doctor on national TV.

(The real punchline is that he started using steroids in college, so hectic job or no, his sex drive must be in the toilet anyway.)

8. Who would you fight?
In the film "Fight Club" the question is posed "if you could fight anyone in the world, living or dead, who would you fight?" (not the exact quote)

I'd fight Dr. Phil.

10. I got 47
41-50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, fun and always interesting; someone who's constantly the center of attention, but sufficiently well- balanced not to let it go to your head. They also see you as kind, considerate & understanding; someone who will always cheer them up and help them out.

Bold is a bit of a laugh. I usually avoid being the center of attention. I'm not unappreciatve of being noticed; I just find it a bit too stimulating.

Interesting quiz.

11. Got A 47
But, i can't take big steps, and i can't walk that fast, because of the MS, so that question makes no sense at all.

This is typical of the simple minded psych nonsense that pop gurus like Phil spew.

I would say there is a 10% chance that there is anything meaningful in these results.
