How to Score Your Quiz
Here’s how to find your Writer Mindset Type:
Add up your scores for each group of 3 questions. For example, you may have had a “3” answer for #1, “4” for #2, and “1” for #3. In that case, your total would be “8” for all three questions.
Give it a try:
Type 1: Answers to Questions #1 + #8 + #15 = _____
Type 2: Answers to Questions #2 + #9 + #16 = _____
Type 3: Answers to Questions #3 + #10 + #17 = _____
Type 4: Answers to Questions #4 + #11 + #18 = ______
Type 5: Answers to Questions #5 + #12 + #19 = _____
Type 6: Answers to Questions #6 + #13 + #20 = _____
Type 7: Answers to Questions #7 + #14 + #21 = _____
