HOW DID YOU DO?

8-13: That laid-back attitude may feel cool, but in the long run, you may end up feeling dissatisfied. Try setting some goals.

14-19: You have a good idea of what you want in life — and it’s all to do with balance. You wouldn’t choose work over a social life or vice versa. The old adage “everything in moderation” serves you well.

20-24: When you’ve set your sights on a goal, there’s little that will get in your way. While it’s great to be focused and an achiever, be careful not to trample on others on your way to the top.
