Category A: Introversion/Extraversion
1. Activity (Norm=16) Your Score: 12
Your Score is in the Medium Range
You are are moderately active and don't mind doing activities if they are not too demanding. You are unlikely to be fanatic or obsessive in your behavior, but on the other hand, you may procrastinate or put things off if any doubts or fears are involved.
2. Sociability (Norm=16) Your Score: 11
Your Score is in the Medium Range
You will probably have a range of friends and associates but not consider yourself particularly "popular." You feel comfortable enough in company but don't particularly relish being in social situations with people you don't know well.
3. Risk-Taking (Norm=15) Your Score: 16
Your Score is in the Medium Range
You are prepared to take risks but only for a very good reason and if the danger is minimal.
4. Impulsiveness (Norm=17) Your Score: 18
Your Score is in the Medium Range
You normally reflect at least a little before you act and you're aware of warning signs. You're not inhibited from doing something that may well be a beneficial opportunity.
4. Impulsiveness (Norm=17) Your Score: 18
Your Score is in the Medium Range
You normally reflect at least a little before you act and you're aware of warning signs. You're not inhibited from doing something that may well be a beneficial opportunity.
5. Expressiveness (Norm=11) Your Score: 19
Your Score is in the High Range
Your ability to express your emotions outwardly and openly - whether love, hate, sorrow, anger or fear - is one of the factors that goes to make up extraversion. You may at times tend to be volatile and demonstrative.
6. Reflectiveness (Norm=17) Your Score: 28
Your Score is in the High Range
To reflect is to think and imagine, within your own mental universe. You tend therefore toward introversion. You are interested in knowledge for its own sake, rather than just its practical application. You are generally thoughtful and introspective, and are interested in ideas, abstractions and speculations.
The introspection may however occur because you have received information that confuses your thinking, or you accepted another's evaluation which causes you to doubt your own viewpoint and reality. Or you may have problems that are unsolvable because you are unwilling to face the realities of the situation, and you try to find solace in theories or dogma.
Of course, the ability to look inward and reflect is necessary for considered actions, and the ability to visualize objectives and be open to intuitive ideas is behind all human creativity. Reflection is also necessary for the process of re-evaluation of one's beliefs and strategies. But when this occurs without objectivity or direction, it is a quagmire.
7. Responsibility (Norm=14) Your Score: 15
Your Score is in the Medium Range
You are reasonably careful and responsible about matters under your jurisdiction. You don't act rashly without proper consideration of what may happen.
Category B: Emotional Stability
8. Self-Esteem (Norm=18) Your Score: 18
Your Score is in the Medium Range
You have a reasonably good opinion of yourself and you assume others think likewise, or certainly, not on the contrary. Therefore you are not particularly self-conscious and you will act according to your own judgment, not just pandering to what others may think.
9. Happiness (Norm=18) Your Score: 17
Your Score is in the Medium Range
You are not entirely satisfied with your work, play and relationships. Some things are upsetting for you and some problems cause worries. Life is full of challenges but to be happy we need some success at overcoming them - for this reason Trans4mind's personal development resources are organized around 30 or so common Life Challenges, so that you can focus on and learn new skills in these areas.
10. Anxiety (Norm=15) Your Score: 19
Your Score is in the Medium Range
Those with average scores get anxious on occasion, though not usually irrationally. They can face up to problems if they're not too threatening.
11. Obsessiveness (Norm=10) Your Score: 8
Your Score is in the Medium Range
You are reasonably casual and easy-going, and you can be spontaneous and have fun. However, you also see the need for order, routine and ritual when appropriate.
12. Independence (Norm=15) Your Score: 24
Your Score is in the High Range
You enjoy a great deal of freedom and independence, make your own decisions and take realistic actions towards achieving your own goals in life.
13. Hypochondria (Norm=9) Your Score: 5
Your Score is in the Medium Range
You are concerned about your health, but not obsessively so. You are realistic and don't imagine problems you haven't got. The problems you do have are not amplified by irrational fears. Nevertheless fears about ill health in the future may exist - it's important to take full responsibility about your health to ensure such fears are unfounded.
14. Guilt (Norm=12) Your Score: 9
Your Score is in the Medium Range
You may regret some incidents in your past. Also you may be concerned about an aspect of your present behavior that you don't feel is as ethical as it should be. You also may accept things as being 'right' or 'wrong' due to cultural influence without making your own independent and objective evaluation.
Category C: Mastery/Sympathy
15. Aggressiveness (Norm=12) Your Score: 10
Your Score is in the Medium Range
You are rarely overtly hostile, but you still may on occasion use aggressive means to get your way or impose your will, and you feel aggressive if you consider yourself wronged.
16. Assertiveness (Norm=15) Your Score: 16
Your Score is in the Medium Range
You normally stand up for your rights and express your point of view, but may back off if there is a likelihood of 'causing a fuss' or aggression from a person in authority.
Assertiveness is often confused with aggressiveness, but really it is a matter of standing up for your rights and for what you feel is right. As long as you are not rude, or inconsiderate of the rights of others, the ability to be assertive is an asset and is necessary to achieve worthwhile aims and impose some order and justice in your environment.
17. Ambition (Norm=14) Your Score: 11
Your Score is in the Medium Range
You want to achieve good things in your life but you may back off, due to pressure to conform, the fear of failure (or even of success), or the lack of a clear vision for what you hope to achieve.
18. Manipulation (Norm=12) Your Score: 16
Your Score is in the Medium Range
On occasion you may feel the need to be manipulative. Most people would like to have empathic relationships since empathy is necessary for good communication, shared agreements and mutual understanding. However, the need to be right, fixed ideas and the stresses of survival may sometimes drive people into manipulative strategies, as seen all too commonly in the home or in the workplace.
19. Sensation-Seeking (Norm=15) Your Score: 15
Your Score is in the Medium Range
You like a little excitement and adventure but not at the cost - at least for long - of the security and relationships of your normal home and work environment.
20. Dogmatism (Norm=15) Your Score: 9
Your Score is in the Low Range
You do not see things in a rigid way and are unlikely to perceive only in black and white. You are flexible and therefore open to rational persuasion and you are tolerant of uncertainty. You have the ability to learn from your mistakes, to develop yourself, to respect others and to think creatively. Alternatively, if you have no clear beliefs, you may be confused, have low self-esteem and no real idea of your values, of what is right and wrong, and therefore you would be easily swayed and manipulated.
21. Masculinity/Femininity (Norm=13) Your Score: 19
Your Score is in the High Range
You are definitely living up to the macho masculine stereotype. You are tolerant of - and may even enjoy - violence, obscenity and swearing; you are disinclined to show weakness or sentimentality of any kind, e.g. by crying or expressing love, and you rely on reason rather than intuition to come to decisions.
Obviously men tend to score more toward the masculine than women but there is a great deal of variation within each sex and the cultural conditioning of gender stereotypes is under increasing scrutiny.
Category D: Sexuality
22. Sexual Libido (Norm=21) Your Score: 34
Your Score is in the High Range
Sexual libido (sex drive) is often correlated with quick sexual arousal, interest in visual explicitness and a liking for impersonal penetrative sex, which is rather a masculine view of the nature of sex and does not take account of the equally strong more feminine drive towards procreation, the aesthetic pleasure and eroticism of sex, and the expression of intimacy through shared pleasure and contact. When partners are happy to contribute towards the fulfillment of each other's needs and desires, then compatibility is possible and male values complement female. This requires communication, honesty and empathy, which is why sex in the context of a loving relationship is so much more fulfilling.
With your libido on the high side, you may tend to regard your partner as a sex object and pay little attention to his or her personality and desires, and in particular to seek only sensual satisfaction rather than a meaningful personal relationship. Women tend to regard this form of sexual behavior as less attractive than do men; for a woman, eroticism tends to require more emotional commitment. As a high scorer, you tend to value sexual pleasure above other aspects of a loving relationship. Extreme high scores suggest a compulsion for sexual outlet, in which case this may be a substitute for a suppressed major unmet need (e.g. for love, belonging or intimacy); if this is not handled and a normal sexual expression is not possible then socially unacceptable means may be turned to.
23. Sexual Satisfaction (Norm=21) Your Score: 33
Your Score is in the High Range
Your high score indicates considerable sexual fulfillment which is naturally a very desirable state of affairs.
24. Sexual Permissiveness (Norm=16) Your Score: 29
Your Score is in the High Range
You have a modern, permissive attitude to sex and find irrelevant the old-fashioned Victorian ideas of what is "right and proper". You aren't bothered about virginity, favor pre-marital (or even extra-marital) sex, believe that birth control is a liberation and generally regard sex as a pleasurable activity that is nobody's concern but that of the consenting persons involved.
25. Sexual Stereotype (Norm=16) Your Score: 21
Your Score is in the Medium Range
You may not hold particularly 'stereotypical' male or female views, or you may have some stereotypical views of the way men and women 'are' but be more open minded in other respects.
You could be a male with a relatively feminine attitude towards sex and gender, or a female with a relatively masculine attitude; this is not necessarily connected with homosexuality - it may just as likely be a more open-minded view of these issues than the stereotypes.
Category E: Social & Political Attitudes
26. Social Permissiveness (Norm=15) Your Score: 25
Your Score is in the High Range
You have favorable attitudes to sexual freedom, freedom of speech and non-conformists of all kinds. Generally, you adopt an easy-going, tolerant and hedonistic view of life with respect for the right of every person to be and do as they think fit. An extreme score would indicate little idea of the need for any maintenance of social order.
27. Racism (Norm=11) Your Score: 0
28. Belief (Norm=15) Your Score: 6
Your Score is in the Low Range
You are skeptical and more inclined to decide for yourself what to think based on your own logic, observation and information gathering. You may, however, be failing to recognize the right-brained way of knowing that is subjective and intuitive by nature (and the only way to perceive spiritual matters), or you may simply not be interested.
29. Socialism/Capitalism (Norm=23) Your Score: 37
Your Score is in the High Range
You have a socialist outlook, with sympathy toward working people and resentment toward those who receive unearned income or excessive profits; you favor internationalism and the redistribution of wealth.
In the context of the other Traits in this Category, socialists tend to be radical and progressive. On the radical side, a tough-minded socialist may tend towards communism; a very permissive radical may tend towards anarchy.
30. Libertarianism (Norm=11) Your Score: 16
Your Score is in the Medium Range
You favor some necessary but minimal degree of regulation, of both business and many aspects of individual behavior. You value individual freedoms but not at the expense of public safety and a sensible degree of order.
31. Reactionism (Norm=16) Your Score: 14
Your Score is in the Medium Range
You like to think you are a progressive thinker, open to new ideas - but then you may react against movements that threaten your interests directly, whether or not they are based on reason.
This scale has fairly high correlation with age.
32. Pacifism (Norm=10) Your Score: 19
Your Score is in the High Range
You believe there is no justification for war; you would prefer a policy of non-violence whatever the outcome might be - indeed you may think a Gandhi-like policy would ultimately be more effective. Being gentle, humane and empathetic, you are repulsed by all violence. Generally speaking, women tend to be more pacifist than men, though that stereotype may become a thing of the past.
