Now count up the points and define, who you actually are.

Less than 20 points: you are the Generosity

You, like a professional donor, will feel some discomfort in your body, until you make a gift. It is a "rejection" - giving presents on an occasion and without the one is in your blood. With identical pleasure you grant the surrounding people with souvenirs, compliments and simply good words. Probably, your gifts are not expensive and are not superluxurious, but they are always sincere and heartfelt.

What gifts tell about you? Judging by your gift impromptus, you are a cheerful and active person. If only it was possible physically, you would be present in a few places simultaneously. You are always ready to give a helping hand to the humiliated and offended, even if you do not know, what would help with. You easily make friends, but with the same ease you leave them, when another interesting personality heaves in sight. Many people consider you to be frivolous, but only few of them guess that deeply in your heart you are afraid of loneliness.

Pennies from heaven or a gift of fate. "Package" such as appearance, clothes, status has no principle value for you. It can be grey and unattractive, the main is the internal filling. Choosing between the amount and the quality of "gifts of fate", you certainly will prefer the first one. Your love-affairs are fast-breaking and come one after another. And all this is because you consider everyday routine to be you personal enemy. You should remember that life consists not only of holidays and gifts.

Gifts for you. Unusual, memorizable and... slightly oddish. Scarcely you will be able to appreciate a kitchen machine at its true value, though acknowledging, that this thing is rather useful. And a hiking trip in the mountains or a parachute jump in your honor is quite another thing!

21-32 points: you are the Civility

You could teach the lessons of good manners in the seminary for young ladies. You accept presents with sincere gratitude and make the return presents in due form. You try to give presents to your friends and relatives on all holidays, including St. Patrick's Day and name-days of your cat. You take the process of the present selection most seriously, preferring to give only practical things. But deeply in you soul you hope, that once some artist from Warwick will compliment you with the armful of scarlet roses.

What gifts tell about you? You have a practical and rational mind, which tries to dismember, to mill and to digest everything. And although you are a self-disciplined and purposeful person, at times you lack a little spark, a light, to reach what you desire. In such minutes you feel keenly how boring your life is and how little frivolous romantics is in it.

Pennies from heaven or a gift of fate. The "package" is of the extremely importance for you. Classic suit with a tie pin, encrusted with a tiny diamond, will be a fully deserved wrapping for your "present". But for you it is not so simple to fall in love, as your chosen one must possess too many dignities.

Gifts for you. A bouquet of flowers (no matter which ones - the camomiles from the field or the luxurious roses), a bottle of good wine or nice jewellery, and of course furs will help to win the victory over your heart. Tourist voucher, romantic supper for two are that very sly holds which can beat cold any obstinate person like you.

More than 33 points: you are the Practicalness

Probably, you should have been born two centuries earlier, and not among the mere mortals, but in the environment of aristocrats. Then you should have had possibility to throw the ermine furs about, to give the pedigreed horses, lose at cards the villages together with their peasants... Even if your head is crowned not by a diamond diadem, but only by baseball cap, there is nothing bad in the dreams. You like to give prestigious presents, and yet more such to get. Other presents may seem to you a waste of time, money and even an insult.

What gifts tell about you? That you are conservative and a little bit canny from the fancy shoes to your hat. You avoid making hasty decisions, rarely talk to the winds, respect the traditions and lead a measured life. Due to the persistence and ambition, you can well do a good career. Many people blame you for the unwarranted coldness, but it is enough to melt the ice in your heart to see the internal beauty and heartfelt generosity.

Pennies from heaven or a gift of fate. You are not expected to show the  impulsive actions and the Mexican passions, being planned for 200 episodes in advance. You've never experienced the diagnosis of "keen infatuation with complications", which is so typical for your girl friends. However if you fall in love, it will be seriously and for a long time. Probably your chosen one will be the adherent of strict, conservative style of clothes and manners.

Gifts for you. Presents which you certainly would appreciate at its true value are flowers (better in pots), a microwave, a tea or coffee set, a pair of pedigreed kittens, a small bottle of perfumes, the cosmetics of famous brands and a little envelope with money.
