on Your Personality Here's how to score yourself for the quiz on paqe 47. Give yourself 5 points for each "Yes" answer to obtain your percentage on the test. After you do that look for your rating below by comparing your score to the nearest figures it matches. Read the rating under those figures as your own. And for your sake — here's hoping. 75 to 100% Your personality does cut a figure. It has oomph, is well-rounded, smooth and most pleasant. You’re an open-eyed and open-minded individual who likes to go right to the heart of everything. You like life and live life. You're a real go-getter and have harnessed your habits to do your bidding rather than being a slave to them. You look at yourself objectively — something most people are afraid to do — weed out your blind and unpleasant points and find some sort of remedy for them. But don’t let all these compliments stir up any undue and unbecoming airs of superiority. You don't show it, but you dislike people who nag and scold, ostracize and expel, forgive icily and maneuver or connive by underhand means to get what they want. Understanding yourself makes it easy for you to see through the machinations of others. But you never let it upset you. In general your circle of friends is a selected body of people who have passed the rigid test of your analyzing eyes and mind. You'll always get along and always land on your feet. 50 to 70% Does your personality cut a good figure? Well, its not exactly wellproportioned, smooth, or round. It has its nice sides, yes, but there are a few corners — sharp ones, too — that could be filed down and smoothed off. You know it too, don't you? How about that tendency to bristle, get your back up, when you think someone's offended you? Why not grin more and let some of those things slide off your back? Too much pride and ego is your trouble. Why not look at your worst sides and get a good laugh and maybe you'll not be so hard on those who would criticize you on occasion. You are not afraid to make an error and usually ready and quick to admit it. Don't linger over it, though. Life's too short for that sort of thing. Watch out, too, for an occasional tendency to go about in mute reproach like a wounded doe in order to win the sympathy of someone who's been harsh with you. Generally you have what it takes to win the popularity and affection of your friends, you can carry your share of the load when there's work to be done — and like to make every deal a square one. Good enough — but did you read the first rating? 45% or Less Hello ostrich! It's a good name, too. Your personality tries to keep you in hiding from the world right in full view of everyone. Come on now — you know you have to laugh at that yourself. Of course you're sensitive. You've never given yourself a chance to toughen up. Throw away all those pet illusions, those personal reactions, and stop running away from reality and facts. By facing facts you begin to face the people around you and learn what makes them tick. You’ve been so concerned about yourself it should be a wonderful background for analyzing others. You'll like it if you'll only try it. Haven't you become a sort of "Alibi Ike"? No one is perfect and we'd all go crazy if we tried to be. 'Fess up now and then and laugh it off. You've got a lot of pent up energy that's just fretting to go places and do things but it will just waste away all cramped up inside like that — so let loose and come on out into the open. There isn't much you can't do if you put your mind to it because your memory and ability to assimilate knowledge outdo most people's. You have the ability to concentrate to exclusion of outside distractions, p but you need some hobbies and sports to help you to a change of pace. M Your personality is all angles. Smooth it out a liftle so others can gef next M to you and appreciate your real worth. Maybe you don't think it's worth the effort. We do! Lustrous hair Yes, it happened at tennis — Bob looked at me and said, "Love will always be the score for you — beautiful lady with the sparkling hair.” I shudder now to think how dull, drab hair might have ruined my chances for romance— for my hair looked really mousy until I began using Nestle Colorinse. "Dull unattractive hair is a handicap to any girl’s natural loveliness,” my hairdresser had warned. Then she suggested I use Colorinse after each shampoo. "You’ll be amazed at the sheen — the richer color and glowing highlights it gives your hair," she said. And she was right! Colorinse left my hair sparkling — softer — silkier, and so much easier to manage! Bob said today that he’s all set for a lifetime match and he doesn’t mean only tennis, either! I say "thanks” to Colorinse for helping me win his heart! A #> For your next permonent, ask for an Opalescent Creme » eiJe Wave, by Nestle— originators of permonent waving.
