Survey
Are You Victorine or Julia?
1.
You and your best friend spy a guy at the same moment across
the room at a
party. She’s recently broken up with the love of her life. You, on the
other hand, have three men calling and texting you. Do you:
A.
Step aside and let her have a chance. She is lonely,
after all.
B. Go for him. All’s fair in love and war.
2.
At work, your boss calls you in to her office and asks you to
catch the elevator up forty flights to the boardroom
and take the place of an ailing colleague who was going to present a pitch
to a big client. Do you:
A.
Say sure and go for it. You know you can wing it.
B.
Decline, saying you’re not prepared, haven’t studied the business
plan and don’t have the confidence to pull it off.
3.
The vacation you’ve
dreamed of is about to be ruined. You’re with a group of friends and a
hurricane is bearing down on the Caribbean island, the wind howling, the rain
is coming down in torrents. The only way out is on a rusty two engine propeller
crate flying to the mainland and there’s only one seat left. Do you:
A.
Fasten your seat belt, you’re used to a bumpy
ride.
B.
Stay behind. You can’t leave your friends like
that.
4.
Your secret, fondest wish has always been to be a grand lady,
maybe
some day a philanthropist whose name
will be remembered years
after you’re gone. Your older, wealthy boyfriend asks what
you want for your birthday. He offers to make a huge donation in
your name to an orphanage in Africa. Or buy you a 40 carat diamond
necklace.
A.
The orphanage.
B.
The necklace.
5.
A handsome man who’s a famous photographer
stops you on the street and gives you his card. He asks you to
come up to his
studio and model for him. Do you:
A.
Worry that you’ll get to his studio where he’ll
ravish you?
B.
Worry that he won’t?
