Scoring:

SCORE OF 10 - 18: Leading
You’re often leading above the line. You don’t wait, you initiate. You go after what you need for yourself and your team. You’re optimistic, open, take responsibility, and step up to address tough issues.  You invest in continuously developing yourself and staying positive.

SCORE OF 19 - 34: Following
You’re often wavering on the line. You look to others for direction and cues about how to react to changes and setbacks. Sometimes you’re just above the line analyzing, trying to understand, and being a healthy skeptic. Other times you slip below the line toward avoidance, helpless cynicism, and just going along.

SCORE OF 35 - 50: Wallowing
You’re usually below the line on the Bitter Bus in Pity City. You like to “blamestorm” and point fingers at “them.” You feel “they” can’t be trusted and participate in cynical putdowns and complaining. You often feel victimized, overwhelmed, and helpless. You believe you’re a “realist” and resent optimists “with their head in the clouds.”
