Ignore all C responses. They simply indicate a lack of interest in a particular area, and should not be included in your scoring. You should now have four scores, each between 0 and 16. A score 0-4 shows very little interest in a particular area. 5-12 is about average. A score of 13 and over shows a strong interest, and the highest of your scores indicates which area of work is most likely to suit the requirements of your individual personality.
