Your result will appear here.

LOW
Your willpower definitely needs a little boost. You tend to take shortcuts and do whatever is easier and quicker at the moment. In addition, you don’t bother yourself with additional responsibilities, which may negatively affect your relationships at work and at home.

MEDIUM
Your willpower is OK! You can and do face challenges and fight for things that matter to you. On the other hand, you tend to use your willpower selectively — whenever there is a more effective way or a neat shortcut, you will definitely use it. While some of your responsibilities may feel like a burden, you still do what’s expected from you. If you want to achieve more in life, try taking on more challenges and more responsibilities instead of avoiding them.

HIGH
Congratulations! You are a strong and reliable person with extraordinary willpower. Unless something beyond your control gets in your way, you set and achieve your goals every single time.
