Scores
Score 17 to 30 :-
*****************
Your attitude towards your emotions is a healthy one.
You aren't ashamed to let your emotions show
occasionally, and you will undoubtedly be much
healthier because of this attitude. You are likely
to be a good social advisor.
Score 8 to 16 :-
***************
You know how to let your emotions show but you still
find it difficult to do so as often as you should.
You should be prepared to let your emotions out more
often. When you feel sad let yourself cry, when you
feel angry, let your anger show, when you feel happy
allow a smile to cross your face. Allowing your
emotions out in this way will do wonders to your
physical and mental health.
Score 7 or less :-
*****************
You are definitely very uptight. You really do need
to allow your emotions flow out a little. There
isn't any thing really wrong in allowing people to
know how you feel. The more you struggle to restrain
your natural impulses , the more likely is that those
impulses will damage your health. Do not advise
anybody in social matter. You are not at all a
good social advisor.
