A = 4 points each

B = 2 points each

C = 3 points each

D = 5 points each

10-12 points: You are a fairly introverted individual concerned about what others think about you. Take the time to relax just a little more and realize that life was meant to be lived, not observed.

13-16 points: You have a good grasp on reality and practicality, and you take the time to apply that in your everyday life. You don't let the little things get to you, and you almost always plan ahead. Though you're a fairly responsible individual, you might need to remind yourself that a little spontaneity now and then won't kill you.

17-21 points: You can be responsible or random, depending on the circumstance. You are fun to be around and make friends easily, but family and co-workers can also rely on you to help get the job done. Keep up the good work and you will have success in your personal and professional life.

22-25 points: Whoa, hold up there just a bit! You enjoy being the life of the party and are hardly ever bored, but being a "party animal" doesn't get you far in the professional world. Your jobs and relationships will last longer when you learn a little more responsibility in things relating to both.
