8. S CORE 16-20 16-20 - you're screaming this color....it fits you to a "t". Probably will present some challenges for you in life....but look at your opposite color...if it has a healthy dose (10-13 points), it helps you to balance.....if not....you probably encounter a few difficulties (too emotional/sensitive....or too goal oriented....or difficulty relating to others....or difficulty in following rules)

9. S CORE 12-15 12-15 - you're very strong in this color, but it doesn't overrun your life. This color does identify closely with you and how others see you....but you have probably learned to deal with the challenges the color can offer...and, if the opposite color has the same amount....WOW- very well balanced!

10. S CORE 8-11 8 - 11- this color is not particularly strong in you. There could be challenges for not having enough of this color. How could this color be developed more strongly in you?

11. S CORE 7 OR B ELOW 7 or below- forget about this! It's not your color!....but, here's a question: if you don't have this color in you....who or what provides it for you....family members, a best friend, pet????
