## How to Score Your Results

After answering all 70 questions above, follow these steps:

### Step 1: Count Your Answers

Go through your 70 answers and count how many times you chose each letter:
- Count how many **e** and how many **i** (should total 10)
- Count how many **s** and how many **n** (should total 20)
- Count how many **t** and how many **f** (should total 20)
- Count how many **j** and how many **p** (should total 20)

### Step 2: Calculate Percentages

For each dimension, calculate the percentage:
- **E%** = (number of e ÷ 10) × 100, and **I%** = 100 - E%
- **S%** = (number of s ÷ 20) × 100, and **N%** = 100 - S%
- **T%** = (number of t ÷ 20) × 100, and **F%** = 100 - T%
- **J%** = (number of j ÷ 20) × 100, and **P%** = 100 - J%

### Step 3: Determine Your Type

For each dimension, choose the letter you scored higher on:
- **E or I**: Whichever has the higher count
- **S or N**: Whichever has the higher count
- **T or F**: Whichever has the higher count
- **J or P**: Whichever has the higher count

Combine these four letters in order to get your personality type.

**Example:** If you scored higher on I, N, T, and J, your type is **INTJ**
