I am a 40 something year old mother of 2. I have always been interested in crafts since my sister and I spent summer weeks with my Grandmother, who was a very crafty lady, while my mother was in college. I mostly quilt since I seem to have an obsession with owning large quantities of fabric, but at one point or another think I have tried almost every craft out there.

Now add up the total number of points.
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 alwa ys 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.

32 - I would have to say that's just about right *s*

Yup...48, that's me "well-balanced". Thanks for sharing that was fun.

I came out 47 but would think I'm more like 31 to 40.

Interesting! I came out either a 45 or a 48 because I have two primary sleeping positions and neither is more dominant. I think I'm much more like a 31-40 however - just like Joyce.

I got a 35, which is apparently the range everybody else wants! It seems to accurately fit me.

I'm a 35, too -- the description is pretty much "me"! Interesting quiz...

Fun! Scored either a 37 or 41 which means I'm on the cusp. Could'nt pick a fav color! Hmmmm could that be my stash problem!? Funny thing? I'm just a bit of both and when combined, the descriptions make sense in my world...except for the well-balanced!

Thank you for sharing this fun test. I came up with 41 points and like Carol had difficulties with choosing a color. A sign for quilters?!

I got 36. The description fits me to a T. I wonder why so many of us seem to be in the same category. What do you think Dr. Phil would say about it?

I took this test and scored 35. I would have to say that the corresponding comments are pretty accurate!

36- Pretty accurate actually.

45 here---but I could not pick one color that is my "fav"--doubt that would have changed things much though. Probably a pretty true assessment.

41 for me and I'd say they got it just about right :o)
