Key and processing of results.

Add up all the scores for the two positions. The total score is an indicator of "approval motivation".

The higher the final indicator, the higher the motivation for approval and, consequently, the higher the person’s willingness to appear better, to present himself to others as fully complying with social norms. And the higher the readiness of a person in the approval of others, associated with the need for communication and approval of oneself from the outside.

Low scores indicate self-confidence without the need for external approval, adequate positive self-esteem, recognition of one's right to make mistakes, and can also indicate high demands on oneself turning into self-criticism.

The optimal is the middle option with a tendency to a low value of the indicator.
