I should also point out that while I understand and believe in the influence of external factors (e.g. socialization, genetics, psychological and biological realities, the choices of others, etc.), that doesn't seem to factor into my locus of control. I'm not at all sure why. [shrugs] It's a psychological concept and I studied sociology and political science.
I scored a 95.
I should point out that it's not necessarily a good thing to be too internal (or external). Other factors come into play.

"A locus of control orientation is a belief about whether the outcomes of our actions are contingent on what we do (internal control orientation) or on events outside our personal control (external control orientation)." (Zimbardo, 1985, p. 275)

I scored 70.. a solid B-. My parents would be happy, but tell me to try harder next time.
