Add up your total score for all the questions.
If you scored 14-28: Congratulations! You've
given yourself permission to succeed. You have no trouble letting in your
own success and taking credit for your accomplishments. Others look to
you as an example in personal and business relationships.
Score 29-49: You're
stopping your success to some degree. Take the time to acknowledge your
own successes and be sure to take time for relaxation and self-care.
Score 50 or above: You are probably stopping
yourself from being as successful as you know you could be. You often
find it difficult to finish projects you start or put off doing the things
you really enjoy.
