TOTAL 10-16: You are a practical, down-to- earth person. You don’t usually let your imagination run away with you, and you are not afraid of very much. But you may sometimes have trouble understanding other people’s feelings.

TOTAL 17-23: You have an average amount of imagination, and you are quite good understanding how other people feel. Sometimes you live too much inside your own head, but your common sense usually keeps you in touch with reality.

TOTAL 24-30: Your imagination is your greatest strength and your greatest weakness. On the one hand, you live a rich interior life, and you experience the pleasure and excitement of the true creative artist. However, you often suffer from irrational fears and superstitions beliefs. And you must be careful not to spend so much time watching the ‘cinema’ inside your own head that you completely lose with the real world.
