Obtaining Your Score
To obtain your score, simply add up the scores (0–4) for all questions—except
that the scores for questions 5, 6, 7, and 16 are scored backwards (that is, for these
questions an answer of “0” is scored as 4, “1” is scored as 3, “2” is scored as 2,
“3” is scored as 1, and “4” is scored as 0).
Scores below 30 are considered definitely “thick,” and scores above 42 are
considered definitely “thin.” See where you are on the spectrum below:
