Sub-domains

A low value means that you don't have irresistible cravings and that you don't try to overindulge.

If your score is average, it means that you are not particularly addicted, but that you enjoy a little excess from time to time.

A high score means that you have a strong desire or craving that you find difficult to control. You seek immediate rewards or pleasures rather than long-term pleasures.

Vulnerability

This index measures your vulnerability, your ability to cope with difficult or unpleasant situations.

If your score is low, it means that you act calmly, confidently and positively in stressful situations.

An average score means that you generally have no problem dealing with these situations.

A high score means that you are panicking, confused, unable to cope with stress or pressure.

Anger

This indicator measures the tendency to anger.

A low score means that you are rarely angry.
An average score means that some problems annoy you, but that you know how to control yourself.

A high score means that you get annoyed when things don't go your way. You want to be treated fairly and feel morally attacked when you feel you are being cheated.

Depression

This index measures the tendency to sadness, rejection and discouragement.

If you have few points, you tend to release negative feelings.

An average score means that you sometimes feel depressed, but that this does not last long.

A high score means you have less energy, find it hard to take initiative and have difficulty tackling new tasks.

Anxiety

This index measures your level of anxiety, both in everyday life and in a professional environment.

A low score means that you are not easily troubled.

An average score means that you are not particularly anxious, but that you feel stressed and under pressure.

If you have a high score, it means that your brain's 'fight-flight' mechanism is triggered more easily or too often. This leads to a high level of anxiety and often a feeling of danger that overwhelms you in certain situations or all the time. You feel tense and nervous.

Caution can be positive to a certain extent.

Self-confidence

Self-consciousness is sensitivity to other people's opinion of you. It is linked to the causes of rejection and mockery by others and leads to feelings of embarrassment and shyness.

A low score means that you do not suffer from the gaze or judgement of others. You are not nervous during social interactions.

If you have an average value, this means that you only feel uncomfortable in a few situations.

A high score means that you often feel embarrassed and ashamed. You fear that others will criticise you or make fun of you. You fear that your awkwardness and discomfort will prevent you from getting ahead.
