Over 110

        This shows you have a strongly internal locus. You are certainly not lacking confidence in yourself! But beware, you may overestimate your ability to influence your circumstances.

 

96 - 110

        You're pretty sure that you can control your life but are realistic enough to know that some situations are beyond your control. Your optimism helps you overcome difficulties, and you're wise enough to know when to give up.

 

75 - 95

        You are inclined to think you have things under control but you have some serious doubts. You are aware that there are times when you feel overcome by events. You are optimistic but easily dented by harsh reality.

 

61 - 74

        You seriously doubt your ability to handle events and suspect that much of your life is beyond your control. Any optimistic feelings you have are very fragile indeed, and you are uncomfortably aware that you often fail.

 

46-60

        You have a rather pessimistic outlook and feel that most of the time you are controlled by events rather than vice versa. You would like to be more in control but have little confidence that you could bring it off.

 

31 - 45

        Your lack of confidence in your ability is a serious obstacle to you. It would certainly be worth trying to cultivate a more positive, confident attitude in order to exercise control over many events in your life.

 

Below 31

        Your locus of control is almost entirely external. This is a situation that requires some form of help. Your lack of confidence in your ability is so pronounced that it is adversely affecting your whole life. You really do need to be helped to see that you are not as powerless as you believe yourself to be.
