Mostly a’s

Creativity is your second name! You enjoy the fine arts and softer things in life.

Let’s not forget that your personality is what draws people to you – a cracking conversationalist and born charmer.  People might label you as ‘laidback and a procrastinator’ but you’re always thinking of new ideas; even when you’re seemingly doing nothing.

You would be a great hit in the media industry, maybe even make it big as a fashion designer, or pursue a vocation as a philanthropist.

Mostly b’s

The outdoorsy one, you’re always up for an adventure. You’re typically the football team captain or the first to sign up for a field trip. You are also a hands-on learner and enjoy experimenting in the Chemistry lab or building things. People typically underestimate your eye for detail. A career in racing seems bright, or even in the martial arts.

Alternatively, you just might shine as an engineer or architect.

Mostly c’s

Strategic and a stickler for routine, your sense of discipline is admirable. You have it all figured out and are always hustling or thinking about your next project. Excellence is your goal – be at school or anything you set your mind to.

You just might have an entrepreneurial streak - probe further! Anyway, a leadership role is definitely on the cards, perhaps as the future principal of your own school.
