FROM 45 to 35 POINTS: PRECISION AND
PATIENCE
Dominated by emotions, concentration, calm and patience; these are
your main characteristics.
Your sports? Those that are based on intense
action, but prepared at length and carefully studied.
The challenge is not
so much the other or others but time and distance.
What sport to choose
from? Individual sports would be more adapted than team sports, but certain card
games or chess games would also be good training.... for the brain.
FROM 34 TO 26 POINTS: DYNAMISM AND GROUP
Union makes
power, the team creates friendship. It is important for you to feel part of a
group, to know that you can count on others and that others can count on you.
Friendship, integration, solidarity are basic prerequisites in your life and you
want to find these elements even when you play or compete. Most adapted sports?
All team sports and in particular those that, after a sportive competition, will
lead to a friendly evening around a laid out table.
FROM 25 TO 15 POINTS: DIVING... ON THE COUCH
Sports
means to you: sweat, getting dirty and uselessly tired. Once in a while, you
think about it, you convince yourself that you should do something about it, but
then everything comes back to normal. Try to at least ride on a still bike at
home or take short walks and maybe the desire to move some of those muscles will
come from within.
