Analysis

35—50: Your family life was easy-going and free of constraints. This is in line with the modem theory of upbringing, in which self-fulfillment is considered more important than restraint. However, over-indulgent or over-lenient parents are sometimes just the kind of people who cannot cope with family life or who are too busy elsewhere to be very much concerned with what goes on at home.

20—35: This score reflects a balanced and reasonable family life. You were probably not allowed to get away with just anything as a child, but had understanding and caring parents who put a great deal of thought into creating a happy home environment.

less than 20:This score suggests a fairly severe and austere family background. However, it may just be a sign of a more traditional upbringing, for fashions in child-rearing have changed considerably over the last 20 or 30 years.
