13 Do you feel that up to now you have never had a fair deal? In other words, have you a lurking grudge against life?
14 Are you so taken on succeed- ing that you can get as interested in your work as you can in your favourite recreation?
15 Do you feel jealous of others who are promoted above you, or of business rivals who beat you in competition?
10 Since you left school have you had many close friendships which have, however, not lasted?
17 Are you prepared to cut out all recreation in order to work or study?
18 Do you find any, work which involves co-operation with others, irritating?
19 Are you given to day-dream- Ing rather than working to get re- sults?
20 Having, in answering these questions, learned a lot abolit yourself do you still feel that given reasonable effort, you can attain your goal?
For each "Yes" to questions 1, 2, 3, 8, 7, 0, 11, 14, and 20 give yourself
five points. For each "No" to ques- tlona 5, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 10,
