Daily Life - Describing Personalities (C0214)

A:

OK class, settle down. I have the results of your individual personality tests. I am going to hand them out and if you'dlike, you can read them out loud to the rest of the class.

B:

I'll read mine!

A:

OK, go ahead.

B:

It says here that I am adventurous, outgoing and easy-going. It says that I am a little superstitious and occasionally naive! That's not true!

A:

The test isn't one-hundred percent accurate. Is that all it says?

B:

No! It also says that I am open-minded with great ambition but that I can also be reckless and clumsy. This is stupid!

A:

Ok, anyone else want to read theirs?

C:

I'll go! It says that I am an extroverted, well-balanced person. It says I am generous, outspoken, and very diligent. This is so true! It also says that I am magnanimous, eloquent and daring! This is totally me!

A:

Pfft whatever, these tests are bologna!
