  What does your score mean?
  
  Under 30 points
  You haven’t got a lazy bone in your body! From the answers you chose on the test, it’s safe to assume that you’ve got enough get-up-and-go to tackle life’s annoying little duties. You make the effort, even when you’re tired or feeling lazy, to clean up after yourself or pitch in when pals need help.
  
  30~65 points
  You seem to be a happy medium between energy and laziness. While you have enough vigor to tackle some of life’s bothersome little jobs, you also let yourself off the hook when feeling particularly slothful. The most important thing is that you are happy with the way things are running. You know you’ve got it in you!
  
  Above 65 points
  Maybe you should invest in some mega-vitamins! You’ve got a major case of sluggishness that carries into various parts of your life—some minor, others potentially harmful. If your laziness, however, has crept into work or school and relationships, there could be serious repercussions.It may seem like more fun to laze around and let others take your share of the workload—but if you just put in a little extra effort, you’ll find that it’s not as painful as you think.
