Paragraph One: What results would you expect before you took the assessment. Do you think you had high anxiety: why/why not. What mechanisms do you think you would use to handle anxiety: why? Paragraph Two: Explain the results you obtained: why do you think you scored the way you did—can you rationalize it? Are there any points of confusion or things you disagree with? Why did the results turn out or not turn out as you expected.
