with your campaign?”

hope she figures it out.

Answers

Bulldozer

If you circled mostly a’s, sometimes you can be too demanding. Tone

down your approach, or you may find people avoiding you.

Blissfully Balanced

If you circled mostly b’s, you know how to share what’s on your mind

without offending or embarrassing others. Your approach will get you

through almost anything.

Barely Noticed

If you circled mostly c’s, no one will be able to tell what you want or

need—you’re not telling! You find it hard to speak up, but if you don’t,

you’ll end up feeling stomped on. Find your voice. Know that your

bravery will be rewarded with less stress and more enjoyment in life.
