Yes they add up to more than 100, but only slightly. If 2 or more of those scores have been 'rounded up' that would explain it.
And it doesn't include those who never call . . .

The practically souless responses to a subject such as motherhood reduced to numbers is a good example of people who have the Master's mind as dominant. A book that explains this phenomena is The Master and its Emissary Without imcrimination, diagnosis or accusation.
I always put it as The linear and the dimensional.
In our divided brain the left lobe is often called the conscious mind and the right the unconcious, but it is more than that.
The left has to sequentially count experiences to describe them and the right feels the entire experience. The left has focus on the details and the right supplies the big picture.
The 'master' left lobe of the brain even thinks it is the master.
The left measures the universe and the right is a gift to humanity. In our civiliation we are well measured but have forgotton the gift.

By way of example this subject was the initial argument between Steve and I. You can see why he can not admit any understanding of this hypothesis. In my experience it is far more meaningful than anything Freud said. It is instrumental to my theory why hypnosis works in the brain in that the hypnotist speaks to the emmisary part of the brain and by passes the master.
The evidence for this phenomena comes from the data from stroke victim data that have lost or damaged one or the other hemisphere of the brain.
If Nigel has told me the truth, as a clinical psychologist he will find the above book link very interesting.

Now the punchline is I am as right Emmisary brained as Steve is the left Master brained. When this dichotomy occurs in one person they often treat it by severing the corpus callosum.
My PHS is Read The Book.

Mothers day was Sunday 27th March. Why bring another person into this unless you are trolling for a fight. I dont suppose you even gave a thought to how much this thread might cause pain to those whose mothers have passed

Johnny Cash had no ill content either with his mother song I'm sure.
I never thought of Mother's day as an ill conceived concept.
The compassion, sacrifice and unqualified pride of motherhood is worth a day even if it isn't an official holiday isn't it?
