The results


If you got mostly A, you are Chorus!

You are not afraid to ask for help when you need and you know your place in the social hierarchy around you. Although this is important and can appear respectful, sometimes you become too dependent and you seem to lose your sense of individualism. You don't always need to be centre stage to have the attention on you and this makes you seem more approachable. Beware that sharing your opinion can sometimes become manipulative especially to those who look up to you.


If you got mostly B, you are Messenger!

The first in the know, you're aware of the power gossiping brings and so wherever you go, you're sure to get people's attention. Once you have their attention, you don't hold back and the show begins! A common nickname for you may be 'drama queen' and you take any opportunity you can get to stir the pot. While this is all very entertaining, be aware that having snippets of gossip means that you often do not have the full picture, and people may not react how you would expect them to.


If you got mostly C, you are Tiresias!

You are a bit of a lone wolf and keen to stay out of drama, even if it involves you. However, when pushed to the limit, the wolf bites back and will stand up for himself/herself and what they believe in. You are intellectually orientated to the point where it seems as if your knowledge comes from a higher force. A great weakness of yours is blindness (in which case we don't know how you are reading this blog, but this proves the accuracy of our quiz) or helping others out of their blindness. Our piece of advice would be to remember that not everyone is as wise as you are and so you may need to explain things more clearly.


If you got mostly D, you are Creon!

You may not be the most extroverted and famed character, but you do a lot of work behind the scenes, whether that's daily tasks to make everyone's lives a bit easier or for self- improvement. You appreciate the need for harmony and balance in the workplace and are happy to share the spotlight if it means that things will run more smoothly. Not being in the forefront gives you time to think, speak more rationally and learn from others mistakes. Just be careful that looking at everything so factually may prevent you from empathising with others.


If you got mostly E, you are Jocasta!

You've been told before that you'd be a really good parent and you often find yourself taking the role of the 'mum of the group' in many of your relationships. You are not easily bossed about but you take other people's opinions into consideration to find a happy medium for everyone. You have a heart of gold and a strong moral compass but sometimes this can mean that you are extremely fragile and sensitive when times get tough.


If you got mostly F, you are Oedipus!

You can sometimes be impulsive and don't always think rationally, however you are usually acting from a good place and with good intentions. Your intelligence draws you to mind games, be it puzzles, riddles or even the crossword on the back of the newspaper. Beware of your arrogance as it can sometimes lead you down the wrong path (although hopefully not the same as Oedipus' and make you appear aggressive and stubborn.


If you got mostly G, you are Apollo!

You are the popular one in the group and so your opinion can be quite dominating and change the course of things rapidly. Even when you're not there, people can't help but gossip about you and your certain charm and that could be people turning to you for help, or idolising you and wishing they were like you. It wouldn't be too extreme to say that you have the power to change someone's life but remember that with great power comes great responsibility.


We hope you found out something new about yourself and had a little fun!

Until next time,

Zoe and Viola
