Now total your points and find your business personality below.12 – 18 points: Lazy Susan – No one will accuse you of being overly ambitious. You would rather not work at all, but the bills do have to be paid. You would love a job that pays well for minimal work. If only you could win the lottery. Watch out for scams, you may be particularly vulnerable.

19 – 26 points: Sweet Sally – You’re a creative type who doesn’t like to be bothered with details. You tend to make your business decisions with your heart rather than your head. You have a ton of great ideas, but have trouble seeing them through to completion. Consider a business partnership with a friend (and you have lots of them) who is more detailed oriented.

27 – 34 points: Balanced Betsy – You enjoy your work-at-home job and love the fact that it gives you more time to be with your children. As soon as you can afford it, you’ll hire a housekeeper. You’re on the right track, stay focused and you’ll do well.

35 – 42 points: Happy Harriet – You take your business life seriously, but you like to have fun too. Your friends are amazed by your energy. Your family is important to you and even on your busiest days you treasure reading bedtime stories and tucking the little ones in at night. You will reach your business goals soon.

43 – 48 points: Workaholic Wanda – You are driven to succeed. You would continue working even if you won the lottery tomorrow. But you do tend to be controlling and tense at times, and you have little patience when things aren’t going your way. Give yourself some time off to relax and have a little fun.
