If your character scored 5-10pts, he/she is realistic, but possibly dull. Definitely out of place in the usual MK world.

If your character scored 11-18pts, he/she is a completely believable MK character.

If your character scored 19-24pts, he/she is a know-it-all that, let's face it, is pretty rare. You might want to rethink some of their aspects...

If your character scored 25-28pts, he/she is a major Mary Sue! You better fix this character right now!
