agency confusion

I'm confused. I got a very high score for agency in the personality test directly below. In other words I believe that I believe I have control over my life.

The confusing thing is that Bob, who is telling me to do stuff (as opposed to twittering and dithering) has a very low agency score. Meaning he supposedly believes in fate and luck.

So. If you believe in fate and luck then why would your advice to me "do something"? Surely whatever I do doesn't matter?

I'm not saying that it "do something" bad advice and I'm not saying that I don't do anything. I'm just puzzled.

Comments:
Useful? You mean like blogs? ;)

I didn't think personality tests need to be worth anything. I just like them. I think they are much more interesting than TV.
 
Fate says something will happen. Luck is for when and how.
 
I doubt it.

On the other hand my blog is useful to me...

...and so much of our lives could be classified in the "not particularly useful" category. Actually, a lot of stuff I like to do(music, art, dancing on the beach under the stars) isn't exactly useful! And much of the useful stuff I do I hate.
