HOW DID YOU DO?

8-13: You�re so thick-skinned, it takes a lot to embarrass you. Your friends and family are more likely to get embarrassed about your behaviour than you are!

14-19: You have a good sense of humour. While you sometimes get embarrassed, you usually

manage to laugh it off. You know that confidence is the key to getting out of any potentially

embarrassing situations.

20-24: You find it hard to walk down the street without getting embarrassed. You probably feel like everyone is watching you, just waiting for you to mess up. Take a reality check. It�s unlikely anyone is even watching you, let alone cares if you trip up.
