ANSWERS

MOSTLY a's: You really deserve the title 'Drama Queen'. You always want to be the centre of attraction. Your see your life as a soap-opera with you always talking about yourself, your experience, your strengths and weaknesses in the most melodramatic way.  At times it seems that you do your best to make the lives of those around you miserable by gossiping, stirring things up and telling stories that don't interest people around you. Having an audience is the perfect set-up for you.

MOSTLY b's: You weight the pros and the cons of each situation. You know when you must keep a low profile and when you can ask for more attention or an explanation. Your attitude might still affect your relationships with friends and colleagues because you tend to switch mood and so they don't know what to expect. People might describe you as a wise person while others might see you as someone who wears a different hat for each different situation.

MOSTLY c's: Life is too short to worry about every single thing that might not go as you wished. Your mind is set on your daily routine and you focus on what affects you and your loved ones. It is useless to stress over every single thing while losing out on the most important things in life. Your motto is "do not worry about things that you cannot change" and this makes you a positive person who appreciates all that is around you without negatively affecting the lives of others.
