If your score is:
4 to 18: There's a lot about your appearance that bothers you. You probably feel bad whenever you look in the mirror. The truth is, although it may take work, there are many things you can do to improve your appearance.
19 to 30: You don't feel like putting a paper bag over your head, but you aren't thrilled with the way you look, either. It may be that you want to change your body, face, or hair-and you can, so it won't be ong before this score starts to go up.
31 to 39: Just because you may enjoy catching a glimpse of your reflection in a shop window, that doesn't mean there aren't a few upgrades you'd like to make.l
40 to 49: Frankly, we're suprirsed you had time to fill out this survey between modeling gigs. All we can say is, stay out of the sun, wear your seat belt, and keep your feet on the ground.

Interpreting the number
If your score is:
4 to 14: You may have chronic pain, which makes you feel tired. And because your body hurts, you can't exercise as much as you'd like, so you're dragging even more. Working to improve your health is important for you.
15 to 21: Sometimes you're relieved just to get through the day-certainly not a recipe for feeling radiant. There is a lot you can do to feel better and increase your energy level.
22 to 28: No tmuch keeps you from doing what you want to do . The trick is to maintain your good health.

-----------
In the margins of the article, I had kept my score:
Part I: 37
This seems like a pretty high number. Despite the few extra pounds that I would like to lose, I guess I still have a pretty good physical self-image.
Part II: 17
This is a pretty average number. I need to work on my muscle tightness, which causes some pain. Also, I need to find more energy, somewhere. I'm not sure where.
Part III: 41
According to the quiz, this score reflects that I am pretty happy on average, so I was a little surprised. This number seems unusually high when taking into account that I was very unhappy at work when I took the quiz. Also, the number is higher than expected since I sometimes feel like I am not making the most of my life, and feel a void at times. However, it goes to show that in spite of the void one feels, I am generally a happy person.
Part IV: What I think I am: "Smart, Caring, Holder of high standards, Honest, Capable."
What I want to become: "Wise, Confident, Caring, Content, Capable"
I had a hard time choosing 5 words to describe myself, and an even harder time finding words to describe what I want to become. Looking back on these words, I think I would revise my choices:
Now, what I think I am: "Smart, Capable, Holder of high standards, Independent, Married/partnered."
Now, what I want to become: "Passionate, Holder of high standards, Independent, Unconventional, Confident"
I have a feeling that these words will continue to evolve...
