Skiing, sledding, or snowboarding?

You run into an old childhood friend on the street whom you’ve not seen in a long time. How do you greet them? 

c) I eat them.

a) I don’t get a chance because, at the sight of me, my friend screams and starts running in the opposite direction.

Which letter did you choose most? 

a) You’re a comet. You hurtle through life at breakneck speed, destination unknown. Some say you’re a walking disaster. Don’t take it to heart—they’re just jealous of your beauty. Wherever you land, life appears. Come and visit us any time!

b) You’re A true star! You’re the ever-shining light, adored by everyone. An enviable position! But don’t let it go to your head. As Confucius might say, “popularity is like stardust: it flares brightly, then comes down to earth.”

c) You’re a black hole. You don’t exactly emit optimism. Instead, you have a distinct, consistent personality. Nothing wrong with that! But you might try to put on a happy face every now and then. It’s hard to meet new and interesting people when you devour your surroundings at every party you attend.

d) You’re a Smurf. You’re a little blue person who is happy and full of energy. Marvelous! Children love you. You have a group of friends who are very similar to you, and you enjoy spending time together. But perhaps it’s time to broaden your horizons? Be brave! It’s not just Gargamel that awaits you—there’s a whole world out there!
