About This Quiz

Did you know the idea of an angel on your shoulder dates back over 1,800 years? In the book "The Shepherd of Hermas," the author speaks about how every man has two angels within him — "one of righteousness, and one of iniquity." The angels guide you towards good or bad decisions, just like the little cartoon angels we all remember from when we were kids. And of course, the idea makes sense because every time we make a choice, we have an option to do something right or something bad. We could steal or we could pay. We could talk out a problem or throw a fist. We could lie or tell the truth. How you choose to act shows which little angel you listened to. But what if those little angels were celebrities? Would it make a difference?

If Tom Hanks was guiding your conscience, would you do things differently? What if it was Gwyneth Paltrow? Would Harrison Ford's no-nonsense approach make you act a little hastily? Or would Ellen DeGeneres make you more kind and spontaneous? One way to find out! Take the quiz and see for yourself!
