If you chose mostly (a)s, you are the Rock!

You’re approachable, friendly, and down-to-earth. You’re well-rounded and enjoy both deep conversations as well as cheerful small talk. You might not always be the loudest voice in the room, but you’re steadfast and hardworking. You have a calm, warm presence that puts others at ease. You’re cooperative and tenacious, able to thrive in nearly any environment, and you bring a sense of open-mindedness everywhere you go.

If you chose mostly (b)s, you are the Hay!

You’re poised, self-assured, and a creative thinker. You likely have a strong sense of curiosity and introspection. Thoughtful and perceptive, you probably have an eye for details and the little things in life: you can appreciate the beauty of fleeting moments that many others might not even notice. You prize quality over quantity, and you value authenticity greatly. Regardless of whatever life throws at you, you remain admirably clear-minded and level-headed.

If you chose mostly (c)s, you are the SciLi!

You’re driven, energetic, and resilient. You’re most likely the friend who always has a million things to do, never one to back down from a challenge. You’re confident in your own abilities (or at least you should be!) and you do your best to take advantage of every opportunity life offers you. You’re also grounded, reliable, and probably have a great sense of humor. Your adaptability and loyalty make you a great leader, friend, and person.
