Congratulations! You have completed the two tests in Personality Test - Assessing Your Own Personality Part 2 - Disclosure and Concealment, Locus of Control . Now let's check the results below:

_______________________________________________________________

Multiply your Hubpages score (which is in a percentage format) by 0.60

As an example, if your HubPages score is 70%. Then 70 x 0.60 = 42.0 Your actual "Disclosure and Concealment" score is therefore 42.0

In the sampling taken with undergraduate students, the mean score for men is 36.33 with standard deviation = 8.98. Women had a mean score of 42.21 with standard deviation = 9.16 (Standard deviation is the range + and - from the mean score)

If your score is higher than the above range, then you have the tendency to disclose distressing experiences to others. Low scores indicate a tendency to conceal information about distressing events.

__________________________________________________________________

Multiply your Hubpages score (which is in a percentage format) by 0.50

As an example, if your HubPages score is 60%. Then 60 x 0.50 = 30.0 Your actual "Locus of Control" score is therefore 30.0

A recent sampling of college students found a mean of 37.0 for males and 37.5 for females, with a standard deviation of about 4.285 for each.

The higher your score, the more you tend to believe that you are generally responsible for what happens to you in personal achievement situations.
