The Questionnaire is presented in a series of pages, one for each psychological trait.
Work through the questions, clicking the box next to the appropriate answer: either "Yes", "Maybe" or "No". (The asterisks* relate to the later Scoring). The Score box is left to fill in later.
Answer as honestly as you can: there is no point in trying to "make yourself look good" - that would be counter-productive.
You may prefer to print out each page first, in order to keep a record of your Questionnaire entries.

- If you checked Yes* or No* (ie with an *) then allot one point.
- If you checked Maybe then allot half a point.

Enter each score in the Score box after each question above, then add up the total.

ANALYSIS
People scoring high on this Trait are generally active and energetic, enjoying all kinds of physical activity including hard work and exercise, pursuing a wide variety of different interests.
People with low scores are inclined to be physically inactive, lethargic and easily tired. They prefer leisurely activities and find it hard to get going in the morning.
High activity is an extravert characteristic: such a person is outgoing because he has clear goals and knows what he wants - this provides the energy. Low activity tends to go with introversion: a more inward-looking, self-conscious and inhibited personality. The person's goals may not be as clear - he may have suffered failure or trauma in the past and therefore have less confidence and energy.
How do you compare?
Each trait in this Questionnaire covers a wide range of behavior. The score obtained by a majority of other people representing the particular culture in which this questionnaire was originally tested, provides a "norm". No evaluation, complimentary or condemnatory, should be attached to extreme scores, high or low.
The norm is not necessarily "right" as the majority of people tested may have a cultural tendency that is far from optimum. At the same time, extreme scores may represent compulsive or inhibitory neuroses, and any score may indicate to you, aspects of your personality that you would like to improve or to change.
The norm on this trait is between 16-17 points (a statistical approximation). This may be represented on the following scale:
Activity 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 || 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Inactivity
