Results:
Mostly A’s … You’re the Office of Student Engagement’s Weekly Events Newsletter! Are you noticed all the time? No. But you’re definitely there, and are always down to hang out with friends. A total extrovert (sometimes overly so), you’re the glue that holds your friend group together.
Mostly B’s … You’re any Canvas notification email! You’re an academic — and a studious one at that. Whenever you can, you use the deductive powers of logic to solve your problems. Those kinds of skills can get you far, but it can also overly inflate your ego.
Mostly C’s … You’re a snow day-related email (that usually informs people that classes are still happening)! But you’re just misunderstood. You don’t want to tell people that the world isn’t always sunshine and rainbows, but sometimes you just have to. Nothing wrong with that! Just make sure your truth-telling doesn’t make you cold or distant.
Mostly D’s … You’re a there’s-a-new-disease-going-around email! Your approach to everything is scientific — some might say overly scientific. Still, you’re a meme master and love to party, which often leads you to seek medical attention.
