1. Activity (Norm=16) Your Score: 14 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. NOTE: The score obtained by a majority of other people representing the particular culture in which this questionnaire was originally tested, provides a "norm." No evaluation, complimentary or condemnatory, should be attached to extreme scores, high or low. The norm is not necessarily "right" as the majority of people tested may have a cultural tendency that is far from optimum.
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: 8Your Score is in the Low Range
You prefer familiarity, safety and security, even if it means sacrificing some degree of excitement in your life. If your score is very low, your life may be severely limited by always expecting the worst and it may be time to reappraise those fears, perhaps with the help of a psychotherapist.
4. Impulsiveness (Norm=17) Your Score: 13 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: 11 Your Score is in the Medium Range
You may be reluctant to express particularly intimate or painful emotions outwardly and openly, but you're not normally held back from the expression of your thoughts and feelings.
6. Reflectiveness (Norm=17) Your Score: 24 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: 21 Your Score is in the High Range
Responsibility is a trait that leans somewhat towards introversion. You are likely to be conscientious (even compulsively so), reliable, trustworthy and serious-minded. While many extraverts portray a person who is confident and responsible, this may be misleading... an element of introversion in the area of responsibility serves as a valuable balance.
Category B: Emotional Stability
8. Self-Esteem (Norm=18) Your Score: 9 Your Score is in the Low Range
Lack of self esteem, or "inferiority complex," is a trait of emotional instability or neuroticism. A low score indicates you have a low opinion of yourself and tend to project that opinion into other peoples' minds so that you then assume that others consider you unattractive or incapable. This makes you self-conscious and inhibited. Such "mind-reading" needs to be disputed. It will help you to recover self-esteem by recognizing all of your achievements and the ways you are capable and competent.
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: 25 Your Score is in the High Range
Anxious persons are easily upset when things go slightly wrong and are inclined to worry unnecessarily about what may or may not happen. They are ruled by fears and suffer a high level of stress. When anxieties are exaggerated or irrational, emotions become unstable and may develop into neurotic compulsions or phobias.
11. Obsessiveness (Norm=10) Your Score: 14 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: 20 Your Score is in the Medium Range
You tend to base your life on the way you have been brought up, fulfilling your parent's expectations, and conforming to the fashions of your peer group. But sometimes you "wake up" and reject overt dismissal of your freedoms and rights. A person may be self-directed or directed by others. Autonomy or self-determinism is eroded by the cultural conditioning of our upbringing and the continuous assault of the media, so that many lives are to a considerable extent programmed, as in a hypnotic trance. Therefore it is a good idea to regularly "wake up" and check if you still are being true to yourself.
13. Hypochondria (Norm=9) Your Score: 10 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: 16 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: 13Your 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: 170 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: 22 Your Score is in the High Range
You are ambitious, hard-working, competitive, keen to improve your social standing and you place a high value on productivity or creative output. You have clear aims in life and you're willing to put in the effort to achieve them.
18. Manipulation (Norm=12) Your Score: 11 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: 130 - 1010 - 2121 - 3127 Jan 2011 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: 130 - 1010 - 2121 - 3127 Jan 2011 Your Score is in the Medium Range
You like to think you look at things objectively and flexibly, not just in black and white. However, there may be areas of prejudice, where you have fixed ideas that prevent an objective overview, and you may not even be conscious of this. Always good to look again at the facts and the merits of all sides of an argument.
21. Masculinity/Femininity (Norm=13) Your Score: 6 Your Score is in the Low Range
You are easily upset by another's misfortune, by blood, bugs, brutality, etc., and are fascinated by delicate matters such as romance, children, fine arts, flowers and clothes. Obviously women tend to score more toward the feminine than men 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=27) Your Score: 25 Your Score is in the Medium Range
You are likely to have occasional impulses for voyeurism or exhibitionism, and desire for the physical act of intercourse with an appropriate partner. Without the right partner you may find it hard to get sexually aroused and enjoy responsive sex. Sexual response is affected by cultural conditioning, past painful or pleasurable experiences and of course conscious preference; there is no "how it should be." Sexuality is also affected by individual bio-rhythms, age and emotional tone. Stress, nervousness and tension, especially regarding the partner, are an immediate destroyer of sexual feelings.
23. Sexual Satisfaction (Norm=21) Your Score: 10 Your Score is in the Low Range
You are likely to be dissatisfied with your sex life and possibly you are quite unhappy about this, since the sex drive is such a basic part of our makeup. Sexual inhibitions can cause a real sense of imbalance or dysfunction in your life and behavior, such as sexual shyness, prudishness and disgust. You may tend to feel nervous with the opposite sex, embarrassed when taking about sex and sometimes afraid of sexual relationships altogether, e.g. in case they are inadequate or in case the partner behaves without empathy or in a way they disapprove of. A compulsion (a normal urge that becomes amplified when it is resisted) that cannot be normally satisfied, e.g. due to shyness or the partner's refusal, may lead to exhibitionism, voyeurism, or even enforced sex on unwilling participants. Very often the cause is misinformation about the nature and value of sex (e.g. from parents, peers, media or religion) or bad experiences with others who were themselves neurotic or psychotic in this area. Another primary reason is a failure in communication between the partners.
24. Sexual Permissiveness (Norm=16) Your Score: 18 Your Score is in the Medium Range
You consider sexual intercourse as a far from trivial act, and you have regard for the fidelity of your relationship. You may tend to be jealous upon occasion but you don't let irrational fears in this respect destroy your relationship. You are willing to experiment with new and various ways of fulfilling your mutual attraction with your partner
25. Sexual Stereotype (Norm=24) Your Score: 15 Your Score is in the Low Range
You tend to agree with a stereotypical female point of view regarding sexual matters and to disagree with the typical male point of view.
Category E: Social & Political Attitudes
26. Social Permissiveness (Norm=15) Your Score: 20 Your Score is in the Medium Range
You only favor censorship in extreme cases, and legal control only of clearly dangerous practices. You are tolerant of alternative views, even those that may threaten the status quo, but only if they are rational and based on objective criticism. You welcome genuine reform, though it may be with the proviso that it doesn't step on your own toes
27. Racism (Norm=11) Your Score: 1 Your Score is in the Low Range
You recognize the essential worth of all persons, whatever their race, sex, age, ability, belief, inclination or circumstance and therefore would not discriminate between people for any of those reasons.
28. Belief (Norm=15) Your Score: 11Your Score is in the Medium Range
You are likely to have taken on a range of beliefs that were were taught by parents teachers, church and social media. Nevertheless you may question some of these and be skeptical about adopting new beliefs.
29. Socialism/Capitalism (Norm=23) Your Score: 33 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: 15 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: 8 Your Score is in the Low Range
You are a progressive thinker, open to new ideas and future-oriented. You think that life is getting better - but then you may just be following the tide or latest fashion.
32. Pacifism (Norm=10) Your Score: 21 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 .
