Test for Trait I. For each item that you have marked M, give yourself three points; for each one that you marked S, give yourself two points; for each item that you marked L, give yourself one point. Items marked N are counted zero. Then add these numbers up for your total score on Trait I. For example, if you marked four of the fifteen items M, that would give you twelve points; let us say you also marked five items S, that would be five times two points, or ten more points; if you marked three items L, that would be another three points. That would leave three items that you marked N for which you get no credit. Your total score on Trait I would then be 12 + 10 + 3 = 25 points.
Test for Trait II. For each A you marked, you get two points and for each R you get one point. Items that you answered D are counted zero. Add these up for your total score.
Test on Trait III. The scoring is reversed on this test from that used for Trait I. On Trait III, M is scored zero, each S gets credit of one point, each L gets credit of two points, and each N gets credit of three points.
Test on Trait IV. You marked the items on this test either, T, D, or F. Those you marked T are scored zero. For each D answer you get one point, and for each F answer you get two points.
