If these traits sound familiar, and you scored...
0 to 15pts. - Hopeless Sindhi. Pray for better Karma, your next life around.
16 to 25pts. - The Common Sindhi. Relatively acceptable. Although, you should keep striving for the best.
26 to 41pts. - True Sindhi. You have acquired acute "Sindhitis". Incurable, but highly admired amongst this breed. Very acceptable. You have reached the highest hierarchy of associated attributes deemed by the Sindhi cultural strata.
Please Note: Some of these behavioral attributes can also be found in Sindhis living in places other than Hong Kong (i.e., Jakarta, Singapore, Manila, etc., and in the West: LA, NY, and everywhere else Sindhis have managed to migrate. )
