After doing the survey according to the principle 1, 2 and 5; I am an emotional adolescent
and I generally don’t like when anyone questions me. I make quick interpretations about the

According to the principle 3 and 4; I am an emotional adult, where I used to love and
respect other without being judgmental. I am able to access my personal strengths, weaknesses
and the limits. I deeply believe that Jesus used to love me and I do not care about what other
people are thinking about me.
