   If you will add the total for each column, it should give you a better picture.  To get a final score, multiply the total for each column by the number represented by that column and then add the totals. 
 See the example below.

[20][04][05][09][10][08]

[20] x "0" = 0
[04] x "1" = 4
[05] x "2" =10
[09] x "3" = 27
[10] x "4" = 40
[08] x "5" = 40


Total score = 121
Minimum score = 0   Maximum score = 280
.

* The more the true answers you have checked or the higher your score, the greater the indication of a need for further investigation.


 ***** I do not believe in labeling people by saying, "You are .... " apart from the Word.  Furthermore, I believe and have seen God make people whole; therefore, I don't believe in the concept of just coping.
