Add the numbers you wrote by these statements: 1, 3, 5,6, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 18 and 21 and this is total A

Subtract the numbers beside the following statements: 2, 4, 7, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20 and 22 and this is total B.

A-B= Your total score on Spontaneity.

22 or more than you rate high on spontaneity. 21 or less is low.

If both people are high on spontaneity you'll both enjoy a sense of freedom that comes with the flexibility to do whatever you want when you want to. You enjoy having your time free and unplanned and are happiest when you can just go with the flow. The only challenge here will be to realize that you can't break the rules all the time.

If both people are low on spontaneity you will have a very organized, planned life. The greatest challenge wil be to take risks and try things that aren't perfectly planned.

If one of you scores high and the other low this can cause some difficulty as it is hard to balance both of these views.
