When you need help from a psychologist to find out what business or profession you may be fitted for, he will frequently ask you to take a battery of tests.
The picture that emerges from these tests may show you what your particular tendencies are. However, the psychologist does not regard the result of these tests as final. He always arranges for a personal interview to find out that which a test will not answer.
He uses the results of the tests and the interview to counsel you and to evaluate your progress.
In the same way you can use the first score on the questionnaire as a means of measuring your own ever-growing success-quotient.
