About This Quiz

Sometimes, in order to really know yourself, you have to step outside of your normal life. The adventure vacation was created explicitly for this purpose. When one puts oneself in a setting unlike any one has experienced before, it creates a contrast where the talents one possesses rise to the foreground. Bravery, invisible in the office setting, suddenly shines in a wilderness adventure. Latent social skills, unused since high school, come to the fore in a live-action role-playing game.

Knowing which qualities you can call on in times of need is crucial for many reasons, not the least of which is making the right decisions about deeply personal and expensive purchases, like an engagement ring. If you are in the market for an engagement ring, you need to know how you'd behave if you were a queen, where you want to hold the wedding ceremony, and who you will marry, in that order.
