Final Score ::
Results ::
05 :: Anti-Sue.
Your character may be a bit on the boring side. Of course, this does depend, but generally if they score that low, it wouldn't hurt to 'spice them up' a bit.
06-15 :: Balanced Character.
If your OC scored around here, then they are probably quite a well-balanced and interesting character. Those scoring in the higher end of this category may be a bit too much though.
16-25 :: Borderline Mary-Sue.

26+ :: Mary Sue.
Please revise your character... NOW.
Your character is :: -
