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.

4164B: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!                                                                                                                    
4165A:The test isn’t one-hundred percent accurate. Is that all it says?                                                                 
4166B:No! It also says that I am open-minded with great ambition  but that I can also be reckless and clumsy. This is stupid!           
4167A:Ok, anyone else want to read theirs?                                                                                              
4168C:I’ll go! It says that I am an extroverted, wellbalanced 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!                                                  
4169Pfft whatever, these tests are bologna!
