9-14 Points

            I kinda doubt you get invited to many campouts.  Your life is orderly, scheduled and precise.  You are well groomed and know what you like.  People might find you a little hard to take – but who cares?  You can enjoy unplanned chaos now and again, like once every three years…

15-25 Points

            You’re friends and family know that you are up for almost anything.  You’ll try anything once - almost.  You are at home with yourself and you are able to adjust to most situations. 

26+ Points

            Guys love to date you.  You love the simple pleasures in life.  Nachos, beer and a game on TV – right on! You’re probably a tom boy, but you can definitely glam up and dazzle anyone in your path.

UNDER 9 points: Aren’t you just soooo caring and selfless. Its almost sickening, really. You don’t want to be labelled a door mat, do you? Maybe you should be a little more of a jerk sometimes. Get a more ME FIRST mentality. Come down to the shop. We can help you spoil yourself for once.
