Below is a 20 question questionnaire to see if you are a candidate to become a fulltimer. The questionnaire was developed for married couples but can be taken by those with mates or significant others. The questionnaire was not developed for single people but can help singles determine if they are also candidates for fulltiming. Answer each question and write down the points beside each answer on a piece of paper, then total your score. Click here to check your results. (Or click at the bottom of the questionnaire.) |
