What it means

Over 60

Others see you as someone they should “handle with care” – vain, selfcentered and extremely dominant. They may admire you and wish they could be more like you, are certainly in awe of you, but they don’t always trust you and hesitate too become to deeply involved with you.

From 51 to 60

Your friends see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, quick to make decisions (though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and venturesome, someone who will try anything – well, almost anything – once; someone who takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

From 41 to 50

Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing and always interesting, someone who is constantly the center of attention, but efficiently wellbalanced not to let it go to your head. They see you also as kind, considerate and understanding, someone who will cheer them up or help them out as the situation requires.

From 31 to 40

Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful and practical. They see you as clever, gifted or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but someone who is extremely loyal to the friends you do make and who expects the same loyalty in return. Those who really

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.

And one more quiz: The real you?

Are you happy being you?

There are times when each and every one of us looks in the mirror and wishes that somebody completely different was staring back. But what about the rest of the time? Do our quiz and find out if you’re happy being you!

1.If someone criticizes you, do you usually:

(a)Feel sorry for yourself?

(b)Listen to what they’re saying before you reply?

(c)Start defending yourself?

2. Back to that mirror. Study your fool-length reflection in it and then tick which parts of you you’d change if you had half a chance:

a) Nose	(f) Skin
b) Mouth	(g) Tummy
c) Eyes	(h) Bottom
d) Ears	(i) Feet
e) Teeth	(j) Height

3. If a member of the opposite sex asked you out, you would be:

(a)	Surprised but pleased and flattered?
(b)	Hardly surprised? After all, you are the best looking person in
	the group!
(c)	Absolutely amazed that they should choose you?
4. What quality do you look for in a best friend?
(a)	A sense of humour?
(b)	Someone you can tell your troubles to?
(c)	Someone who thinks you are brilliant?

5. When you are with a group of people, how would you describe yourself?

(a)		The leader of the pack?
(b)		One of the croud?
(c)		The odd one out?
6. If you were feeling depressed, would you:
(a)		Talk to someone about it?
(b)		Go and take some exercise?
(c)		Sit around and feel miserable?
What’s your score?
1 a 0	b 5		c 10

2 Score one point for every letter you didn’t tick. 3. a 5 b 10 c 0

4. a 5	b 0	c 10
5. a 10	b 5	c 0
6. a 5	b 10	c 0

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.
