If your score was between 13 and 20, your motivation to learn English comes strongly from inside yourself: you are learning English for your own reasons and purposes. If your score on Part was between 5 and 12, your own reasons and purposes for learning English are not very strong. Your score on Part II tells you how strongly other influences are pushing you to learn English. If your score was between 16 and 25, you are very strongly motivated by other influences. If your score was between 5 and 15, you are not strongly motivated by what other people want you to do.
