The
S-score is a measure of anxiety, depression or submissiveness in social
relations on a scale of 0-100. If the score is >20-30, then it becomes
likely that either trait N or A, or both, is only partially expressed. This
test does not explore the many possible reasons for a high S-score. The most
common reason is inhibited aggression ("passive aggressive" types)
or suppressed sanguine trait (sanguine borderline types). In individuals
having consulted a mental health professional common reasons might be
depression or bipolar disorder. The T-score is a measure of temperament, also
on a scale of 0-100. Low temperament individuals tend to be reserved or
phlegmatic. High temperament individuals tend to be reactive or volatile. The
F score is a measure of the degree of organization of an individual's
personality, again on a scale of
0-100. Organized individuals with analytical tendencies will tend to
score high on this scale, while less focused, expansive or practical
individuals will tend to score lower.
