PERSONALITY TEST

50-60: You are a true Romantic – someone who builds castles in the air. There’s nothing wrong with it. True romantics believe the world can be wonderful place and they keep trying to make it just it. Be careful, however! People like you are easily depressed.

36-49: Call yourself a romantic skeptic. Deep down you feel that life is not a fairy tale, even though you wish it were. You may have a problem with self-esteem (уверенность в себе), because you can create wonderful dreams but lack the confidence to make those dreams become reality.

22-35: You are a soft realist: you take the world as you find it, but you also understand that life is dull without love, beauty and emotion. People like you can be pragmatic without being hard-hearted (жестокий).

12-21: You are a true Realist with no illusions about the world. You are pragmatic and don’t make excuses. You don’t lose sleep over things you can’t change and are very independent. Unfortunately, you don’t realize that life’s horizons are broader than you think.
