Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The most important thing is how you feel inside. Scales like the ones you just completed are among the best in the world at measuring how you feel. They are approximately 95 percent accurate. #2 Your feelings about other people can change from time to time, so make sure you take these tests as often as you like, but make sure that the person you’re thinking about on the scale is always the same. Otherwise, your scores may go up and down just because you’re thinking about different people. #3 If you want to develop more loving and satisfying relationships, you must be willing to let go of things you’re addicted to. The Temptations Test is an extremely reliable tool that asks about cravings and urges to use over the past week. #4 The tests are designed to show you how susceptible you are to temptation. If your score on the test is 15 or above, it means that you’re almost certain to give in to the temptation.
