A. Definitely.
13. A or B:

A. I get pretty flustered in new situations, so it doesn't matter much.

B. Same is good.
16. A or B:

19. A or B:

21. A or B:
A. I like to find my way of doing things

OK that gives me 13 (but I could have done a 0.5 for at least 2 other questions, so that would make 12 - so I guess I use both halves about the same?
Maybe that would explain why people have said to me that I am a mass of contradictions?
