P-Test

How the test is done:
Make sure you understand each question; read it as many times as necessary. Please answer one question after the other. Do not stay too long with one question. Answer it as soon as you understand it and go on to the next question. When an answer would be different if one considered the past rather than the present, answer as of the present. Be honest when answering. Efforts to manipulate the test will influence the result negatively. The answering of the test should not take longer than 45 minutes. Answer the questions without any interruption. You have three choices to answer:

+ (plus) means mostly YES or decidedly YES
m (mid) means uncertain, maybe, neither definitely yes or no
– (minus) means mostly NO or decidedly NO
Input of answers: You can use the mouse or the following keys 1 for + (plus), 2 for m (mid) and 3 for - (minus).
