Scoring Explanation:

Category A: 0-7 points. If you belong to this category, you should study this carefully. You are not good at observation and thinking, know very little about the psychology of the opposite sex, and always act according to your own likes and dislikes. Therefore, in his/her eyes, you are both uncultured and lack manners. I hope you will seriously reflect on yourself and always remember that you are a suitor who is pursuing a lover.

Category B: 8-17 points. You possess certain skills in making friends with the opposite sex, and further improvement would be even better. You have enthusiasm for interacting with the opposite sex and are able to understand their feelings quite well, but you lack initiative in demonstrating your friendship and manners. It is hoped that you will greatly enhance your performance in this area.

Category C: 18-24 points. Congratulations! Regardless of your figure or appearance, you are someone who is very popular with the opposite sex. You are intelligent, quick-witted, considerate, and good at understanding the psychology of the opposite sex and taking care of them appropriately. Although you may not be as talented as others or have an average appearance, you are still very popular with the opposite sex.
