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

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 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 center 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 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 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 & 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.

1. I got a 36
But I work in HR and I can't imagine any HR department giving that test to any prospective employee. It's meaningless, mainly because the person would answer what they think you want them to answer.

2. wow.
this is kind of strange. People think...people see you as...
this is a test on how other people see me? wonder why they just don't ask them directly?

If you look at the last assessment it's obvious it's another anti-loner test
"Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't." I personally consider obnoxious extroverted attention whores alot more boring than still waters, but that's just me. I didn't take this because it assumes that everyone who is outside looking in shares the same opinion about the test subjects' traits, and which just can't be true.

15. 43. Sounds like me!
Although some of you mightn't believe it...

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center 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.

20. I'd like to think people see me as fresh, lively, charming, etc. (46)
but I can't really see how what I say I dream about has to do with it (public behaviors, like how you enter a party or what you do with your hands when talking to people, I can kind of see).
