И.В. Граборская Your personality
.pdf30
get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but, equally, that it takes you along time to get over it if that trust is shaken.
From 21 to 30
Your friends see you meticulous and painstaking, perhaps a bit too fussy at times, ultra-cautious and ultra-careful, a slow, steady plodder. It would surprise them tremendously if you were ever to behave impulsively or do something on the spur of the moment. They expect you to examine everything very carefully from every conceivable angle and then, usually, decide against it. They see this sort of reaction on your part as being partly due to your careful nature and partly to indolence.
Under 21
You are seen to be shy, nervous and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always leaves it to someone else to make the decisions and prefers never to get too involved with anyone or anything. They see you as something of a worrier, seeing problems, which don’t exist, and crossing bridges long before you come to them. Some people tend to regard you as dull and boring and it takes someone who knows you well to know that you are not. The trouble is that you permit very few people to get that close to you.

0 – 20: Come on, you can’t be that bad … no one is. You have a very low opinion of yourself and, if you don’t change soon, you will spend your whole life feeling unhappy and envious of your friends instead of having a laugh and enjoying being with them. Take another look in that mirror and smile. You and everything around you will look better immediately.
21 – 40:You’re realistic about yourself and realize that you can’t be the center of attention the whole time. That makes you a very good friend to have around. Don’t worry about your appearance. Nobody’s perfect.
41 – 62: You are self-confident and have a high regard for yourself. You also like to be at the center of things and have lots of friends. Be careful about becoming too big-headed though. If you do, you’ll regret it.
