How do you score?

Some of you asked about the kind of questions these tests ask. The little thing is called L I F O and actually stands for something. It exists in French and English (and perhaps other languages). It’s copyrighted, so I can’t just give you more than some sample questions. But I will send you a photocopy. ☺ You can also go to this site!

Here we go… You must answer the question by putting a 4, 3, 2, or 1 next to EACH answer, with the 4 describing you best, and the 1 describing you the least. You can only use 4, 3, 2, and 1 one time for each question.

And before taking the test, repeat the mantra 5 times: There are no right or wrong answers!

My driving goal in life is to be a:
1. sincere, dedicated and ethical person.
2. bold, masterful and assertive individual.
3. composed, practical and cautious person.
4. friendly, jovial and enthusiastic person.

I am most apt to talk to others in a:
5. serious and respectful fashion.
6. straightforward and energetic way.
7. rational and organized way.
8. lively and entertaining manner.

And lets try this one:

In a disagreement with another person I desire to:
13. have him/her see me as fair and honest.
14. win my point and get what I want.
15. establish a calm and reasonable framework for discussion.
16. make sure we remain friendly and open to compromise.

If you answer all 18 questions (found on the test) honestly and thoughtfully, we can tell if you are more liable to shop at Costco or Sam’s, Circuit City or Best Buy. Just kidding. But we CAN determine if you're apt to listen to the greatest hits by ABBA and Neil Diamond.

We’ll interpret your scores tomorrow.
