I scored 51, How about you?

Below is Dr. Phil's test. (Dr. Phil scored 55--he did this test on Oprah-she got a 38.) Some folks pay a lot of money to find this stuff out. The following is pretty accurate and it only takes 2 minutes. Don't peek, but begin the test as you scroll down and answer. Answers are for who you are now...... not who you were in the past. Have pen or pencil and paper ready. This is a real test given by the Human Relations Dept. at many of the major corporations today. It helps them get better insight concerning their employees and prospective employees. It's only 10 simple questions, so...... grab a pencil and paper to keep track of your letter answers. Ready..... GO!

OVER 60 POINTS: Others see you as someone they should "handle with care." You're seen as vain, self-centered, and who is extremely dominant. Others may admire you, wishing they could be more like you, but don't always trust you, hesitating to become too deeply involved with you.

51 TO 60 POINTS: Others see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, who's quick to make decisions, though not always the right ones. They see you as bold and adventuresome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes chances and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.

41 TO 50 POINTS: Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out.

31 TO 40 POINTS: Others see you as sensible, cautious, careful & practical. They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person who makes friends too quickly or easily, but someone who's extremely loyal to friends you do make and who expect the same loyalty in return. Those who really get to know you realize it takes a lot to shake your trust in your friends, but equally that it takes you a long time to get over if that trust is ever broken.

21 TO 30 POINTS: Your friends see you as painstaking and fussy They see you as very cautious, extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the moment, expecting you to examine everything carefully from every angle and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction is caused partly by your careful nature.

UNDER 21 POINTS: People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs looking after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions &who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything! They see you as a worrier who always sees problems that don't exist. Some people think you're boring. Only those who know you well know that you aren't.

WALK towards a healthy lifestyle

We spent an evening at family friends' place last weekend and the discussion over there got me thinking. Aunty & Uncle there are health enthusiast and both have pedometer attached to their waists. They make sure they walk at least 10,000 steps a day each. This keeps them healthy and active. Also there were many other tips discussed on shading off those extra Kgs, secret to flat tummy, glowing skin, etc, etc.

After this visit, +Arwa wanted me to buy her a pedometer which easily costs 1000 bucks for the cheapest one. I was not very sure. Then I came across this app on Google Store "Steps Mania". It does the same job using your mobile phone's accelerometer. The app is very simple and has smooth interface. It basically keeps running in background and counts steps. You can see daily summary of number of steps walked during each hour of the day.

The app also has interesting awards on completion of certain goals like completing 10k steps in a day or walking 5000 steps during office hours. It has social view where you can add friends who are using same app & share your step count & awards received with each other. I think this makes the activity interesting!

We used the app for more than a month & really liked it. :-)
