Locus of Control My score on this test was a 67 out of 100. Based on this score, I interpret my successes on a personal level such as skills and intelligence and external factors such as chance and other people’s help. I do not take credit I deserve for my successes. If I did more, my motivation and self-esteem would be improved. I strongly agree with this assessment. In fact, this is spot on.
