Which Yearbook Award Will You Receive?

Scoring Results:

 

51–65

Most Outspoken

You're full of life and energy and make it a habit to stand up for yourself. But be careful:
Outspoken
can sometimes be another word for
stubborn
. You're headstrong and not afraid to flirt or let your opinions be known, and that's a good thing—until you're offensive or say something inappropriate. Soften up a bit and remember: It's not always all about you. Give others the spotlight sometimes. A little humility goes a long way.

 

33–50

Sweetest Girl

You're the girl everyone wants to be friends with and every guy wants to take to the dance. You care about your friends, but you don't believe in exclusivity and you almost always give people the benefit of the doubt. You make the best of difficult situations. You're confident, upfront, and honest—without being a turn off.

 

22–32

Most Likely to Be Left Behind on a Field Trip

Being low-key is one thing, but being downright invisible is another! Learn to take chances instead of always doing what you know to be safe. You're a good, loyal friend, but don't let people take advantage of you. Trust your instincts and question things that don't feel right. There's a fierce extrovert somewhere inside you—let her out every now and then!
