Instructions
This questionnaire contains 120 statements. There is no time limit. Most people take about 15 minutes –
please allow yourself plenty of time.

Please respond to all of the statements and answer in sequence.

Double-check that you have made the right choice. If you need to change an answer, simply select the new response
and the incorrect response will disappear.

Try not to use the 'Neutral' option too often.

Describe yourself as you generally are now, not as you wish to be in the future.

Describe yourself, as you honestly see yourself, in relation to other people of the same sex and of roughly the same
age. Your spontaneous answer is usually the most accurate.

For each statement choose the response that best represents your opinion:
-- Strongly Disagree If you strongly disagree or if the statement is definitely false.
- Disagree If you disagree or if the statement is mostly false.
-/+ Neutral If you are neutral about the statement, if you cannot decide, or if the
statement is about equally true and false.
+ Agree If you agree or if the statement is mostly true.
++ Strongly Agree If you strongly agree or if the statement is definitely true.
