A: OK, class, settle down. I have the results of your individual personality tests. I am going to hand them out and if you’d like, you can read them out loud to the rest of the class.
B: I’ll read mine!
A: OK, go ahead.
B: It says here that I am adventurous 1, outgoing and easy-going. It says that I am a little superstitious 2 and occasionally naive 3! That’s not true!
A: The test isn’t one-hundred percent accurate. Is that all it says?
B: No! It also says that I am open-minded with great ambition but that I can also be reckless and clumsy. This is stupid!
A: OK, anyone else want to read theirs?
C: I’ll go! It says that I am an extroverted 4, well-balanced person. It says I am generous, outspoken 5, and very diligent 6. This is so true! It also says that I am magnanimous, eloquent 7 and daring! This is totally me!
