About This Quiz

We all put out a vibe into the world. Through the choices we make and the things we enjoy doing, we send out a signal to those who are drawn to those same things. Whether we are consciously aware of it or not, everything from the clothes we wear, the music we listen to and our preferred Friday night activities contribute to this message. All of these inclinations are making a statement to those around you about what you value and who you truly are.

Are you drawn to intellectual pursuits? Would you rather attend a lecture on a topic you are interested in than go out to a bar? Do you listen to NPR on a regular basis? If you answered yes to these questions, there's a good chance that you are an intellectual type who is attracting others like you. While some may consider being a nerd or a geek to be a put-down, those more mentally evolved see it as a great compliment and sexy as can be.

Maybe you're more interested in athletic activities. If you're at the gym on a regular basis, have a wardrobe that consists of mostly workout and athletic apparel, and you would rather catch a game than go to the theater, you're likely attracting jocks like you or those who are drawn to fit and competitive types.
