5. Although I work very hard, I am always realistic about my goals and how much I can get done.
6. When I purchase something new for my home that requires assembly, I always approach it systematically. First I read the directions, then I get the necessary tools, then I follow the step by step instructions. I do not stop the project until I am completely done.
7. When I think about my career goals, I think big! I won't be satisfied until I have real prestige and money.
8. I have little problems dealing with stress, in fact I tend to thrive on it.

18. Material success is a valid measure of success in life.
19. I do not believe I have ever cheated at a board game, a test, or a sport in my life. I do not believe in cheating, not matter how low the stakes.

What is a "typical" Capricorn personality?
Capricorn (born December 22-January 20 ) is the tenth sign of the Zodiac. The issue of 'respect' is important to the typical Capricorn. They earn respect from others not from outstanding feats, but from their own persistence and endurance. Capricorn's feel at home when they are at the office and have a tendency to become workaholics. Achievement and social status is important to a Capricorn. They meet their goals with a mature attitude and business-like approach to problems. They are well organized and determined. They tend to be a bit inhibited around others, but they are quite content on the inside. Capricorns are down-to-earth and able to keep their head out of the clouds.
