Interpretation of Scores:
See above grid for description of each of The 5 Elements of Success.

Elements in the 20-14 range are in good shape. Elemental scores less than 10 indicate areas that probably need more attention. Note that when you become stressed or encounter difficulties, you are likely to do more of what you already do well, rather than address and improve areas of chronic weakness.
