Quirks & Flaws Tables

    1. Personal Bubble: You really dislike it when other people touch you or get too close. Like, really.

    2. Chatty: You tend to talk a little too much. Okay, way too much and fast.

    3. Sage: You do not mince words and will occasionally offer sage-like wisdom that makes everyone stop and think.

    4. Goofball: You crack dumb jokes and refer to everyone you speak with by a meaningless nickname, like Champ, Boss, or Chief. It’s awkward.

    5. Ostentatious: You have a strong predilection for fine clothing and aim to be polished and stylish always, although you act like this is normal and not really anything special. Your hair must always be perfect or you can’t stop messing with it.

    6. Disheveled: You prefer to wear “comfortable” clothing, like sweatpants. Always sweatpants. You are not concerned with your appearance whatsoever. You are constantly eating food or drinking something, which is obvious by the stains on your clothes.

    1. Mercurial: Your mood will shift suddenly and unpredictably, taking you from extremely jovial to very pissed off and aggressive at the drop of a hat.

    2. Erudite: You take pride in being well-educated and well-read, but sometimes talk above people without realizing it or share information that doesn’t really have much value outside of academia.

    3. Pretentious: You think very highly of yourself and have no problem talking about it, often. People who dislike this are just envious.

    4. Clueless: You frequently make awkward comments about yourself and other people, but don’t understand why it makes others feel awkward.

    5. Adrenaline Junky: You love extreme sports and don't feel alive without taking crazy risks. Unfortunately, this has landed you in the hospital on several occasions.

    6. Jock: Sports are life. You love getting pumped and pumping up others, even if they don’t share your enthusiasm. You frequently give an energetic, motivational speech before a task, and you always give 110 percent!

    1. Logician: You pride yourself on being supremely logical, to the point of being kind of an android.

    2. Defender: You always stick up for the little guy, even if they don’t really need you to. If you even think someone else is in danger, you rush in ready to help.

    3. Cowardly: You have almost no self confidence and try to avoid all risk. When there is danger, you run the other way.

    4. Smooth Operator: Smooth, baby. Just smooth.

    5. Stoner: So… You wanna get high?

    6. Ray of Sunshine: The glass is half full. Always. You are incredibly positive and annoyingly chipper, no matter what happens. Even if the world is ending. It will be fine!
