Rating for:

12-17: There is little or no gold in the rules that follow. You are not only a "in the wool dyed" are person who lives by a double moral code, "high maintenance" (easy to disturb, difficult to please) and a draw. You check off reject people and most of the people. If they keep in their lives, they are either frickin' brilliant on something, they need some of you, which may not by someone else, they are martyrs or they are so angry and feeling close control feel so guilty, with you or worse they put up giving you your way. Be careful. After it until way and discover, how they get little from a relationship with you and gather the courage to cut their losses you can toast.

18-26: They are average. Not bad, not so big. They can improve and move in the 25-30 category and a valued friend and partner will or can people spend too much time with the 12-17 category and they are dragging down at their level. It's really your choice.

27-36: You really do practice the golden rule and do to others, how it to do would you have on you. You are also "low maintenance" (easy to please, difficult to disrupt) and a dream as a friend or partner. People can not recognize and appreciate you for your great qualities at first, but in the course of time they will. Be sure to engage with people in the 12-17-category. They are minced meat and in the course of time become only you frustrated or grumpy they cause. You can do so by thinking of itself as being the better person, when in actuality you foolish.
