  * Total score below 21: Introverted pessimist. Most companies do not like this type of personality.
People think you are a shy, neurotic, indecisive person who needs care, always needs others to make decisions for you, and does not want to be involved with anything or anyone. They think you are a worrier, someone who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people find you boring, but only those who know you well know that you are not like that.
  * 21 to 30 points: A picky perfectionist lacking confidence. Suitable for editing, accounting, and other numerical and auditing work.
Your friends think you are diligent, hardworking, and very picky. They think you are a cautious, very careful person, a slow but steady and hardworking individual. If you do anything impulsive or unprepared, you would surprise them. They think you will carefully examine everything from all angles and then often decide not to do it. They think this reaction is partly due to your cautious nature.
  * 31 to 40 points: A self-protective person who retaliates. Has the broadest adaptability.
Others see you as a wise, cautious, practical person. They also see you as clever, talented, capable, and modest. You do not make friends quickly or easily, but you are very loyal to friends, and you demand the same loyalty in return. Those who truly have the chance to know you will realize that it is difficult to shake your trust in friends, but equally, once that trust is broken, it is hard for you to get over it.
  * 41 to 50 points: A balanced middle-of-the-roader. Suitable for human resources work.
Others see you as a fresh, energetic, charming, fun, practical, and always interesting person; someone who is often the center of attention, but you are balanced enough not to get carried away. They also see you as kind, friendly, considerate, and understanding; someone who always cheers people up and helps others.
  * 51 to 60 points: An attractive adventurer. Suitable for market development and sales work, and for taking on independent responsibilities.
Others see you as an exciting, highly lively, and quite impulsive personality; you are a born leader, someone who makes decisions quickly, although your decisions are not always right. They think you are bold and adventurous, willing to try anything at least once; someone who is willing to take chances and enjoy risks. They like being with you because of the excitement you radiate.
  * Above 60 points: An arrogant loner. Usually very talented, but lacking in communication skills; can do research and development guidance work.
Others think you must be "handled with care." In others' eyes, you are conceited, self-centered, and extremely dominant and controlling. Others may admire you and wish they could be more like you, but they will not always trust you, and they will hesitate and be reluctant to have deeper interactions with you. The world is inherently layered and cyclical, repeating itself, and does not change according to anyone's will.
