Step Two:
Now use this key to sum your score

2. A. = 2 B. = 1 C. = 3 D. = 4
3. A. = 2 B. = 1 C. = 3 D. = 4
4. A. = 3 B. = 1 C. = 2 D. = 6
5. A. = 1 B. = 2 C. = 5 D. = 3
6. A. = 3 B. = 1 C. = 4 D. = 2
7. A. = 2 B. = 1 C. = 3 D. = 4
8. A. = 4 B. = 3 C. = 2 D. = 5
9. A. = 6 B. = 4 C. = 8 D. = 2
10. A = 7 B. = 5 C. = 1 D. = 3
Now add up your scores and find your personality below...
Your score: 12-20:
You tend to be a shy person. You may feel uncomfortable with a lot of
other people. You sometimes think that you were given a body that does
not fit your mind, and perhaps you were born in the wrong year. You are
much smarter than most people think you are and you do not let other
people know about it. You have a giant heart that gets crushed
all the time. You tend to have an artistic flair. Music you like: songs
about love, lost love, and heartbreak. Your favorite movie: Titanic.
There are days when you would rather stay home and enjoy time to
yourself than to go out and deal with annoying people. Cupid has toyed
with you. Someone you loved has hurt you. Your parents fought when
you were small. You have thought about getting a tattoo.
21-30:
You made your way in this world in spite of all the obstacles you have
faced. You have seen a lot more troubles than most people. You have
had to deal with difficult people, ridiculous rules, and tempestuous
relationships. Love for you can be as intense as the fire on the face
of the sun. You are either very calm on the inside when there is a lot
of insanity around you or you shut people up and take charge. You can go
to a movie by yourself without the need for someone to go with you. You
are as comfortable alone as you are with others. You are angry at your
parents and you can't change them. You are a great lover when you find
that rare mate who is your equal, but otherwise your relationships have
been short or frustrating. You have stayed too long with a partner you
did not like. Life is a roller coaster, and you are finding ways to
make the good times better. You LOVE sports or have taken drugs.
31-42:
You generally are a calm person. You get excited when your favorite band
is in town, when you are going on a date with your partner, and when
you and your friends are dancing. For you, your friends mean everything
to you. You hate it when the summer is over. You like art, and some
poetry. You can throw a party, or help a friend put one together. You
usually have no trouble finding dates, but you occasionally hit a dry
spell. You like the outdoors, usually, and rainy weather doesn't bother
you. You sometimes get jealous of people who are smarter or better
looking than you, but you wouldn't hold it against them if you got to
know them. You are on good terms with your parents, even though they
piss you off once in a while. You saw your parents kissing and/or
making love once. People tend to think you are reliable and
trustworthy. You like animals.
43-53:
Sometimes there just isn't enough time in a day for you to do everything
you would like to do. If there isn't anything fun going on at the
moment, then you know how to get things rolling. You tend to be the kind
of person people look up to, and you usually have the ability to excel
at most things you try. You usually don't care what people think about
you, and you have no problem kissing your mate in public. Sex for you
is a passionate art, and you never have a problem in
bed, except for being a little too wild for your partner. You tend to
have an energy level that is one step above the others, but you can play
it cool if you want to. You prefer to play sports than to watch.
People have been jealous of you, but its unlikely you noticed. Your
parents are active people, and may not have given you as much time as
you wanted. You have a tattoo, play in a band, have blond hair, or are
on a sports team. People copy you. Sometimes you are truly miserable,
but not for long.
I fall in the 21-30 Category apparently..
