About This Quiz

There are many types of personality traits among human beings, and quite often, friendships spark from such exciting personalities. After all, many people want to be friends with someone who is fun, outgoing and spontaneous. If you fit this type of description, then you're someone who probably likes to encourage others to step out of their comfort zones as well. An exciting personality is often built from a foundation of motivation, confidence and high self-esteem, but that doesn't mean that these types of people are perfect. In fact, exciting people go through ups and downs like any other person, but they tend to handle such obstacles in a positive and upbeat way.

Now if you don't have an exciting personality, remember that this isn't a bad thing at all. Some people are attracted to those who are quiet and introverted, because sometimes, you don't need to convey words to make yourself appear interesting. Your body language and facial expressions also enhance your personality, so if you tend to flash a warm smile with kind eyes to people, then you're someone special to remember. Tell us more about some of your personality traits so we can determine how exciting you really are.
