20-24 If you are not already a success, there is no doubt that you will be one day. You have got all the qualities necessary for success, including ambition, determination and imagination. Take care not to become a workaholic - if you do, it will affect your family, yourself and, in the end, your happiness.
8-19You want to be successful and have got many of the necessary qualities. But perhaps you need a little more self-confidence to believe that you can and will succeed. Perhaps you dream about success, but do not really believe it will happen. Making those dreams come true is not easy, but it is certainly possible.
0-8You need a lot of hard work to make a success of your chosen career, but is this really what you want in life? Perhaps you believe that happiness is more important than success. Maybe you prefer a happy family life, a steady job and a regular salary. Remember everyone is different and happiness does not come from trying to become something that you do not really want to be.
