You have no defensive mindset at all. You are naive, kind-hearted, and eager to help others, believing that everyone is inherently good. Even when faced with betrayal and slander, you won't dwell on it and assume others have their own reasons. Due to a lack of opinions and judgment, simply receiving a small benefit from someone makes you readily share your secrets, making it easy for others to exploit your weaknesses and cause you significant losses.

Advice: Always keep your eyes open and don't open up to everyone. Be cautious about decisions involving your interests and avoid blindly following others' suggestions. Rationally analyze situations based on the actual circumstances to prevent losing both money and resources.

17-22 points

You have a relatively weak defensive mindset. You are quite straightforward; once you trust someone, you will follow their lead until you notice their actions are harmful, prompting you to distance yourself. Your slow response often results in losses and being underestimated by friends. In your career, this may cause you to miss valuable promotion opportunities, achieving little as a result.

Advice: Cultivate your logical thinking and analytical skills. Avoid being overly emotional and handle matters objectively. For matters not yet finalized, avoid revealing details too early and stay wary of others' probing to prevent impulsive disclosures.

23-28 points

Your defensive mindset is well-balanced. You are good at reading people and have your own opinions. You engage with others calmly and can conceal your emotions. Once you detect ulterior motives, you employ wise methods to deter them. You are sociable and enjoy providing suggestions, making you a leader among friends. However, being overly considerate can sometimes lead to misunderstandings. Additionally, focusing too much on maintaining a perfect image might cause you to compromise your interests.

Advice: In matters involving others, avoid pushing your suggestions too hard to prevent misunderstandings. Also, don't be overly concerned about others' opinions and be more attuned to your inner thoughts.

29-36 points

Your defensive mindset is excessively strong. You are extremely sensitive and suspicious, believing others have hidden motives. When someone treats you warmly, you instinctively distance yourself, pushing away those who genuinely wish to befriend you. When criticized, you assume malintent and may retaliate, leading to tense relationships.

Advice: Avoid being overly tense, as it can lead to burnout. Adopt simpler thinking and avoid excessive suspicion towards friends and family. Learn to accept both positive and negative feedback calmly and continuously strive for personal growth.
