What your score means

10-15 You certainly care about your career and your enthusiasm for your work is evident (очевиден). However, you could be in danger of becoming a workaholic and a bore (зануда). Take things easy from time to time, get your priorities right, and don’t push yourself too hard.

16-21 If you made a bit more effort, you could probably make your working day a great deal more exciting. It’s unlikely (вряд ли) you’ll reach the top of career ladder where you are, and a change of location might be good.

22-27 You are probably unhappy in your present job, and are not satisfied with your work circumstances (обстоятельствами). Your attitude is no doubt reflected in your relationship with colleagues. It would probably be a good idea to get a career advice from a professional and consider making a new start.
