As a general rule, the lower your score, the better. Perhaps you'd like to come back and do it again some time in the future?

The list on the previous page was adapted from the work of a psychologist called Albert Ellis, who discovered that many of our difficult feelings are caused by firmly holding on to unhelpful ideas about ourselves, about other people and about life itself.

The good news is we can all change to become more open minded, and can learn to challenge the unhelpful ideas we might be carrying around inside our heads.
