In other news: "...I’ve totally used my sexuality to get my way with men. A short black dress, the right pair of 4′ heels..." Wow, I'd certainly be impressed if you walked up to me in four-foot heels!  :)  I'm sure that was just a typo, but the imagery was too good pass by without a snarky comment!

I took again today and I picked the same answers (I think!) but I got a different answer: "No. Because you're the moralist."

And for the starbucks question...that actually did happen to me, but I didnt do any of those options. I smiled and accepted the coffee and kept it moving. “No, Because you’re the moralist”
