Procedure

You will be presented with several sections, for each of which nine sentences are suggested. Allocate a total of 10 points to the sentences that you think best describe your behaviour. In extreme cases, you can divide the points between all sentences or assign all points to a single sentence.

Once all sections have been successfully completed, the evaluation + result takes place.
