        alternatives is most true for you. The brackets A and B are where you have a tendency to feel a lack of authenticity in that area. Brackets C and D are where
        you feel comfortable most or all of the time in that area.  Place an x in the set of brackets that answers the question most truthfully for you.
        Scoring : For every x in the far left column “A” give yourself 1, B=2, C=3, D=4. Add up the numbers for all 20 rows will produce a range between 20 and 80.
