I'm too internally locused-focused to lend credence to an internet personality test.... :)

Your results suggest you tend to believe that internal factors like drive and free will define you more than external factors like genetics, fate, luck, and environment.
Thus, you have an Internal Locus of Control

Your results suggest you believe your life is defined about equally by both internal forces (drive, free will, etc.) and external forces (genetics, environment, fate).
Thus, you have an Ambiverted Locus of Control

I do believe that certain things happen to you without you having any control over it:
country of origin, family you were born in, race, when you were born.
These greatly influence where you're going to be. Some people are just born at the right time, from the right family with perfect timing when it comes to opportunities.
Jayden was killed two years ago by his mother's boyfriend, drowned in their bathtub. He was only 4 years old. I am sure if he was asked how long he'd have liked to live, he'd have said, 100 years.
So to a certain level, I have an External locus.
But I believe in hard work, and taking, and changing your situation.
So, I am on the 60/40 range.

"Fate" has never made sense to me, but I do flip coins from time to time when it's a small decision that doesn't necessarily affect the rest of my life, i.e. tacos or pasta for dinner, just for fun.

me too, and i got the same score.. strange lol

Locus of Control Test Results

In the 60s Psychologist Julian Rotter developed a theory called Locus of Control of Reinforcement. His theory centered around whether someone thinks their life is more influenced by external factors like fate, genetics, luck, environment (external locus of control) OR by internal factors like effort, tenacity, and free will (internal locus of control).
Your results suggest you generally believe that internal factors like drive and free will define you more than external factors like genetics, fate, luck, and environment.
