1. You are assigned a group to work on a science project with.   Your group chooses you as the leader because:

a) You know what kind of thing the teacher wants and if you don't, you FIND out, dammit!   You're the last person who would screw up because you were trying out something a little...shall we say...out there.

b) Um...they like your hair?   You're average as can be, creative enough as long as someone tells you what to make, but you're not one to try out new things if your grade hangs on it.

c) You always have the most outrageous ideas!   They don't always work, but you love to try them anyhoo, and heck, you inspire people!   Why?   Cuz you can.

2. You come up against a little setback in your project; you ran out of paper midway, and the project is a paper mache model.   Your solution is to:

a) Get more.   Obviously.   You can't make a paper mache project without the paper.

b) Sit for a minute thinking of something else you could use, then send someone to your neighbor's house to get some paper.

c) Pull out a few yards of cloth.   No one's tried it before, how do YOU know it won't work?   Besides, color is interesting.

3. You show your project to your teacher and ask her what she thinks of it.   She tells you it's nice, but it needs a little something extra, because it's currently a tad bland.   Following her advice, you:

a) Paint it.

b) Paint it and add a little report on the history of paper mache.

c) Paint it, paint your face, give a slide show on the history of paper mache, make a documentary of everyone's feelings about the project, throw in a few relevant comic strips, and at the end, perform a little freestyle rap about how much you learned while working on the project.   Complete with tap tance.

4. Enough with the project.   You're now in the wonderful world of the workforce.   A coworker invites you to his dinner party.   You REALLY don't want to go, but you also don't want to hurt his feelings.   Oh my god, WHAT do you DO???

a) Um...tell him I don't want to go.   What else CAN you say?   I mean, I don't...

b) Tell him I can't go.   Aha, sneaky, there, ain't it?   And if he asks any questions as to why and then gets his feelings hurt...well...that's his problem.

c) Act clinically insane when he asks you.   You know, bang your head against the walls, make googly eyes at him, cover him with Post-its, yodel backwards in Japanese, the works.   Chances are, not only will he give up on asking you, you won't be invited to anything in the future, either.

5. When you do your homework, you are usually:

a) Sitting upright at a desk, books in a neat stack at your side, room properly lit, and as far away from food/television/people as possible.

b) In a comfortable position, often on your bed or in a big armchair, with a big cup of something good next to you.

c) Wherever you happen to be when you think of starting it.   It could be lying on the floor while listening to Marilyn Manson, perhaps in front of "Southpark", maybe in your loft, amid all your little friend dust bunnies.   I mean, if it gets done, it doesn't really matter how or where, does it?

6. You really want to go clothes shopping before school starts, but the problem is, you're flat-broke. You:

a) Don't go shopping until you have the money.

b) Do a little babysitting here, a little lawn-mowing there, until you have sufficient funds.

c) Assimilate a few friends and people from around the neighborhood and host a monumental yardsale, apply for a job at your local grocery store, and invent and patent a new shade of orange.

7. Your teacher tells you to show the class what a tornado looks like.   To do this, you:

a) Draw a big swirly on a piece of paper.

b) Make one of those tornado-in-a-bottle things.

c) Build a universal weather control device and alter the wind and temperature front patterns to create a tornado just outside the classroom window.

8. You want to mail something to your friend but you have absolutely NO paper/envelopes/postcards.   In fact, all you have is a pen, a marker, a notecard, a couple of stamps, and an old boot.   And no, you CAN'T go to Wal-Mart.   (Or any store for that matter.)   Being the dedicated friend that you are, though, you feel utterly compelled to send something.   You:

a) Try to ignore the guilt constantly gnawing at your gut and hum to yourself cuz there's nothing better to do.

b) Write a note on the notecard and stick a stamp on it, then mail it as a postcard.

c) Use the marker to write the address on the boot, plaster all your stamps to it, then write a note to your friend and carefully slide it between the laces of the boot.   Then throw the pen and the marker in it.   Mail it.   You just accomplished two things at once; you sent a note to your friend, and you cleaned out your house!   Woohoo!   Do you rock or what?!?

9. Chicken is:

a) Chicken.

b) An overused word.

c) Whatever you want it to be.

10. List all the uses you can think of for the pages of a dictionary.

a) Looking up the definitions to words.

b) Looking up the definitions of words, looking up the spellings of words if you've got it pretty darn close already, looking up the pronunciations of words, and a good book to read when you're really, REALLY, REALLY bored.

c) Looking up the definitions of words, looking up the spellings of words if you've got it pretty darn close already, looking up the pronunciations of words, a good book to read when you're really, REALLY, REALLY bored, the best book to use when you need to slap your sibling upside the head, a booster seat, a stool, something to hold down the ends of the blankets covering the fort you built in your living room, and the smartest pieces of fabric you'll ever hope to own.

11. You hope that your results of this quiz tell you that you are generally a:

a) Concrete thinker.

b) Somewhere in between thinker.

c) Abstract thinker.
