Add up the total number of points.
If you have:
OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You're seen as vain, self-centred, and 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 centre 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 expects 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 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 and 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.

TV Appearance
A few of you have been asking to see this. Although its quite embarrassing for me cause I look and sound like a moron. HA!
SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - CDC numbers show childhood obesity has tripled in the past thirty year. One in five children is now obese. West Jordan elementary students were given tools to make better nutrition decisions, including how to avoid sneaky shopping tricks, and how to make “ants on a log”.
Dalton is a fourth grader at Oquirrh Elementary School. He describes today’s nutrition lesson like this. "How the process of food works."
The lesson is taught by a Molina Healthcare health educator. The goal is to show kids how to make healthy choices, and avoid nutritional pitfalls. One of those can be found in the middle of the grocery store. Kaylin Phillips says stay on the outer edges where the healthier food is stocked, and where you will find the most bang for your buck. "Sticking to the perimeter is important because that's where the foods are that are natural and from the earth and give you the energy that you need."
Phillips says it's important to teach children these kinds of tips while they are still young.
"I want to give them the resources that they need how to go shopping with their parents what to look for when they are there, and give them options for eating healthy good snacks and good treats." She says kids who make unhealthy choices, too often live unhealthy lives. "Already as young as they are, they can have heart problems, asthma, depression and diabetes."
She says kids are not entirely responsible and parents should also learn about nutrition.
"We all love our loved ones and we all went to take care of each other, and if you don't know, and you are not educated then how you would know you are doing things wrong."
Today’s nutrition lesson concluded with a healthy snack. Students made a delicacy known as “ants on a log”. Some were skeptical as they slathered their celery stick with peanut butter and topped it with raisins. Most ate the treats with a smile.
Logan was one of the students pleasantly surprised by her creation. She chalked it up as one of the most surprising facts she learned. "Peanut butter and celery and all of the other things can go good together and taste good and actually be good for your body."
Only two percent of school-aged children consume the recommended daily number of servings from all five major food groups.
