Family and friends feel the psychic
repercussions
of the head injury acutely as well. Caring for an injured
family member can be very demanding and result in economic loss and emotional
burdens.
It can change the very nature
of their family life; the resultant emotional difficulties can affect
the cohesiveness of the family unit. Typically, the emotional damage is
intense, affecting family and friends for years afterward and sometimes
leading to the breakup of previously stable family units.

Scoring Key: |
|
|
|
60 + Points: Others
see you as someone they should "handle with care." You are seen as
vain, self-centered, and extremely dominant Others may admire you
and wish they could be more like you, but they don't always trust you and
hesitate to become too deeply involved with you. |
|
|
|
51 To 60 Points: Your
friends see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive
personality; a natural leader, quick to make decisions (though not always
the right ones). They see you as bold and venturesome, someone who
will try an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of
the excitement you radiate. |
|
|
|
41 To 50 Points:
Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always
interesting; someone who is constantly the center of attention, but sufficiently
well balanced not to let it go to your head. They see you also as
kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who will cheer them up and
help them out. |
|
|
|
31 To 40 Points:
Other people see you as sensible, cautious, careful, and practical.
They see you as clever, gifted, or talented, but modest. Not a person
who makes friends too quickly or too easily, but someone who is extremely
loyal to the friends you do make and who expects the same loyalty in return.
Those who really get to know you realize that it takes a lot to shake your
trust in your friends, but, equally, that it takes you a long time to get
over it if that trust is broken. |
|
|
|
21 To 30 Points: Your
friends see you as painstaking and fussy. They see you as very, very
cautious and extremely careful, a slow and steady plodder. It would really
surprise them if you ever did something impulsively or on the spur of the
moment. They expect you to examine everything carefully from every
side and then, usually decide against it. They think this reaction
on your part is caused partly by your careful nature and partly by laziness. |
|
|
|
Fewer than 21 Points:
People think you are shy, nervous, and indecisive, someone who needs to
be looked after, who always wants someone else to make the decisions and
who doesn't want to get involved with anyone or anything. They see
you as a worrier, who sees problems that don't exist. Some people think
you're boring. Only the people who know you well know that you aren't. |
