Explanation

Okay, different series of questions, different sets of answers. That means different results, of course. Again, you’re looking at which answer you picked more than the others. This chapter deals with behaviors. So if you don’t like what you find, it’s not impossible to change it.

Mostly As: The “Incompetents” These answers describe someone who just “can’t do right.” That doesn’t mean these people ONLY make bad decisions. It simply means these people spend a lot of time not having a clue about what to do, and making poor choices as a result. Sometimes, these individuals fall upon good situations by accident, but even then, they’re not really sure how they got there, or how to make it happen again.

Mostly Bs: The “Ignorants” These answers describe someone who lives like they don’t care. While any army needs soldiers like these, a loose cannon is always a dangerous thing. Sometimes these individuals are having a hard time figuring things out as well, but they act reckless and ignorant so they’ll seem like it doesn’t matter to them. Although they appear strong, they feel they have to act this way because they’re having a hard time with life.

Mostly Cs: The “Intentionals” These answers describe someone who usually has a purpose to the words, ways, and actions they choose. They may not always make the most popular choice, but their choices are intentionally designed to bring about the results they want. These individuals usually find themselves in less stupid situations than the others.

Mostly Ds: The “Imposters” These answers describe someone who wants to appear a certain way, whether or not that is really what he is about. They are often so concerned with how others see them that they forget who they really are or what they want to do. These people rarely mean what they say or say what they mean. As a result, it’s hard to have any confidence in them.

I won’t spend too much time every chapter explaining what you can do with these results. If you don’t like what you’ve found, then challenge yourself to be better. If you disagree with what’s been said, then prove it wrong. Either way, the following pages will offer you some insight into how you can do either one.
