Mostly As: You are an overachiever and a perfectionist who’s always on top of things. But while you are busy playing Ms Goody Two-Shoes, you have the tendency to be overbearing and breathe down people’s necks. Loosen up a little and stop taking yourself too seriously. Besides being a tattletale and a pain in the ‘you-know-where’, if you don’t take a vacation soon, you’ll probably have a burnout.
Mostly Bs: You’ve nailed it, girl! You know how to strike that balance between work and personal life and you never push yourself to overwork. What’s more, you know how to delegate as much as you know how to get work done.  Go ahead and take home the title of Ms Productivity. If you ask us, you’re more likely to get that promotion than a certain Ms Overachiever!
Mostly Cs: Gosh! Is there anyone more under-motivated than you? You probably work just because you need the money to pay your rent and you’re known for shoddy work and your signature tardiness! Your lifelong dream would be to marry a millionaire and sit in a spa or shop all day long! We suggest you take some time off work to figure out what the problem is – the job, the salary, the boss – and fix it!
Mostly Ds: Keep up this conduct at work and you can be sure you’ll be shown the door. In fact, we’re surprised you haven’t been kicked out already. It’s time you pull up your socks and turn over a new leaf. Stop being such a kaam chor! Take your job seriously and don’t expect people to cover for you. P.S. You are going to have a lot of undoing to do as well!
