What's Your Element?

You're stuck working for a horrible boss who is horrible to everyone - and loves to play power games. Your reaction is:

Attempt to figure out why your boss is like this and try to make things better for everyone.
To stay as far away from your boss as possible, for now.
Try to talk to your boss, and when that doesn't work, find a new job.
To lash at your boss and complain to your coworkers.

You would say that you:

You avoid pressure, conflict and arguments. You live for new things and people.
Live in a drama of sorts, where emotions and creativity shine.
You think and plan before acting. You strategize and then take control.
You are good at finding a way, through compromise, of making everyone happy.

Your roommate is throwing a last minute party (without asking you), but you're very tired and unmotivated to entertain people. You:

Are super nice to everyone anyway, have a good time, and then freak out at your roommate when everyone leaves.
Are annoyed, and try to reach a compromise with your roomie (like everyone needs to leave by 11).
Do what you were going to do anyway - watch TV in your bedroom. And speak with your roommate calmly the next day.
Don't mention any thing to your roommate, and sneak off to bed when no one is looking.

Which of the following sounds the most like you?

"I need attention. I want to be recognized and admired. I love and hate with equal passion."
"I strive for perfection, paying close attention to things in life. I am organized, fair, rational, and steady."
"I'm easygoing, I don't sweat the small stuff. I am generally pretty calm, and I love animals and children."
"I shy away from the limelight, but I still appreciate approval from people. I try to be fair with everyone I know."

Your best friend is getting married to your ex, and you're invited. You really don't want to go, but you'll feel guilty if you don't attend. What do you do?

You suck it up and go. You can live through a few miserable hours.
You make quickly make other plans that day and then claim there is a conflict in your schedule.
You show up for the wedding but cut out early at the reception.
You go, but you make your true feelings known (no so subtlety either!)

What do you truly thrive on in life?

Communication, harmony, and togetherness. You love melding with people.
Affection, romance, and loyalty. Living your life with purpose.
Love and passion in relationships. Being number one in your sweetie's life.
Simply being loved. Taking life as it comes, and enjoying every moment.

What's your dream vacation?

Taking a road trip across New Zealand, with stops for surfing and bungee jumping.
Paris, where you go to a ton of museums and galleries off the tourist track.
Africa, where you combine leisure with some volunteer work.
An Alaskan cruise with a ton of activities and destinations pre-planned.
