The PT/Berkeley Personality Profile: Scoring Guide

Beginning with the Inner-Self Rating Scorecard (#1), add together all the numbers you marked from the orange-colored lines, then enter the total in the top row of the corresponding orange space in the table below. Do the same for the green, yellow, red and blue responses, entering the scores across the top row. These are your Inner-Self scores. Next, add together and enter the color-coded numbers you marked on your Outer-Self Rating Scorecard (#2), exactly as you did for the Inner-Self Ratings, and enter the scores in the second row of the table below. These are your Outer-Self Scores. Add together the two Self-Rating Scores (Inner + Outer) for each color category and enter the total in the space provided. Then divide each total by two and enter those in the bottom box. These are your Actual-Self Image scores.
