How to score
Count up how many questions you answered with (a)s, (b)s and (c)s. The significant score is the letter you chose most often. Before you hear what your score means, don't forget that your abilities are not only useful at work. They can be harnessed at home and make you a happier, more fulfilled person, too.

What your score means
Mainly (a)s:
You have a good, orderly brain. Organising, administration and logical thought come naturally to you. You could do well at science, mathematics, running a department or even a whole business.You will tend to do anything you turn your hand to efficiently.

Mainly (b)s:
Your strong point is people. You are interested in them and have an instinctive understanding of what makes them tick. You would shine in anything that involves caring for others - from social work and marriage guidance to serving in the corner shop or bringing up children.

Mainly (c)s:
You are highly creative. You have the ability to think originally but can also home in on the off-beat but simple solution to problems others perceive as complicated. You could do well in any one of the arts, but you will also find an outlet for your flair in everything from your home and garden to personal relationships.
