more cosmo quizzes, cuz i'm bored...

How Competitve are You?

Worthy Opponent
Yeah, you want the guy, the raise and the great apartment, but you take a more calculated, amicable approach, and it winds up working in your favor (e.g., showing just the right amount of enthusiasm for a weekend work project or using sugar lips to get a friend's great real estate agent). "You have a healthy sense of competitiveness and know how to go after what you want without alienating everyone," says Lois Frankel, Ph.D., author of Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office. "If you see your peers being promoted at work, you're not going to find ways to undermine them or walk off the job because you feel undervalued. You'll take a step back, ask yourself, 'What do I need to do to advance?' and devise a strategy."

Another go-getter trait: "You're not threatened when friends shine, whether it's looking great or having a new car," says Susan Shapiro Barash, author of Tripping the Prom Queen: The Truth About Women and Rivalry. "Rather, you use their victories as fuel to enrich your own life." With your enviable confidence, no wonder you look like you have everything you want...and usually get it.

Do You Have a Bad-Girl Side?

Slightly Sinful Femme
Sure, you'll toss your Clooney-esque boss a compliment, ditch your diet for a night of hot-fudge bliss or hook up with a random guy on vacation, but there's always a deliberation process that keeps you in check. "You know how to let loose and live in the moment, but you always weigh out the consequences before acting," says Nancy Rosenbach, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in New York City and Long Island.

What's the secret of your self-control? "You know that it can be even more enjoyable to be slightly bad and savor it, rather than being full-blown naughty and suffer for it," says Tracey Cox, author of Superdate. "You'll flirt with a guy who's taken and enjoy yourself, but won't push it to a point where it compromises a friend's trust. Similarly, you'll relish a random day off, but you realize that being a serial skipper doesn't give you a rush, just a slacker rep." Bottom line: You know that reining in your scandalous side doesn't dilute any of your natural spice.

Piping Hot
Okay, you're free to gloat for a few minutes -- you are the couple others aspire to be. You may not even have a clue as to what you're doing right, but here are some good bets: You share what's on your minds, don't take each other for granted, and keep things exciting by heading out on fun dates and having plenty of scorching sex. Just be conscious of not slacking off now that you're on a roll. Another challenge you should be aware of: You're pretty much bound to disagree sooner or later, and the key to not letting it derail you is to face up to your contention and try to reach a compromise. Ironically, that's not always easy to do in a great relationship.

"Since you've achieved a happy and healthy union, you may be reluctant to bring up problems because you're scared to upset the 'perfect' balance you've maintained thus far," says David Olson, Ph.D., whose Prepare/Enrich counseling program helps couples build good relationships. "But putting any issues on the table and working through them actually strengthens your bond." It proves you have enough trust and faith in your twosome to tackle and solve anything that pops up along the way.

Keep in mind too that if you're a fairly new duo, you could still be riding the thrilling fresh-love rush. "Your intense emotions in the beginning can blind you to the other person's flaws, so you're only really capable of noticing how wonderful he or she is," says New York City psychologist Debbie Magids, Ph.D., coauthor of All the Good Ones Aren't Taken.

Your romance isn't likely to stay lava-hot forever though, and you may need to work a little harder to keep your bond on course. For now, enjoy how amazing you feel and how close you two are. And make a point to acknowledge everything you love about your guy and the relationship. That way, you'll have plenty of material to draw upon should you find yourselves drifting apart down the line

cosmo says i pwn.

Fabulous Friend
Pals flock to you because you're fun and supportive, but they also know you're no pushover. "You're a pro at fitting friends into your schedule, but you still take care of your own needs," says Nancy Rosenbach, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist in New York City and Long Island. The secret? "When a pal tries to rope you into helping her move furniture all weekend or expects you to sit on the couch for hours while she sulks, you'll give her a chunk of your time but not the whole day," says Julia Bourland, author of The Go-Girl Guide.

Another strength: You're able to get your points across
without pissing pals off, says Bourland. If you're breaking the news that you've also applied for the job a pal is after, you'll find a way to be inclusive and upbeat. Still, you're no sycophant. If asked to rate your friend's less-than-adorable new boyfriend, you choose your words wisely but aren't about to say he's wonderful if he's not.
Bottom line: You know how to be supportive without sucking up.

You are more than a little eccentric, and you're apt to keep very unusual habits.<br />
Whether you're a nightowl, living in a commune, or taking a vow of silence - you like to experiment with your lifestyle.<br />
Expressing your individuality is important to you, and you often lie awake in bed thinking about the world and your place in it.<br />
You enjoy staying home, but that doesn't mean you're a hermit. You also appreciate quality time with family and close friends.

Self-Assured Siren
In your mind, true sexiness isn't about being overtly come-hither. That's why you'd rather don jeans and a cute tank than a totally revealing hankie of a dress, and why you'd be more inclined to toss a guy pal a cute compliment than flash your boobs so his member flies up 45 degrees. "You're able to project confidence in a subtle, sensual way without pushing it in everyone's face," says Tracey Cox, author of Superflirt.

Yet there are times you could feel more secure in your seductive powers. "You'll exude even more confidence if you amp up your body language," says Cox. Instead of just quickly making eye contact with a guy across the room, flash him a coy smile or let him catch you running your hand along your collarbone. "You're giving off the vibe that you feel sensual and relaxed, so he knows you'll be receptive if he approaches you." And rather than just moaning in bed and hoping he gets the hint, try leading with your hands where you want him to go. To feel your absolute foxiest at all times, check out "Feel Sexier Than Ever Before" in the January 2005 issue of Cosmopolitan.

Spotlight Sharer


You may be ready for your close-up, but you're not about to get all divalike about it. You're comfortable receiving praise on your fabulous haircut or laughing flirtatiously with your girlfriend to spark a guy's interest, "but you don't let other people's perceptions of you define your self-worth," says New York clinical psychologist Nancy Rosenbach, Ph.D. "In fact, when you feel like you're receiving too much attention, you're able to deflect it without detracting from yourself." Sure, you did a kick-ass job on a project, but you know that not letting your teammates share the accolades actually makes you look less fantastic.

Still, that doesn't mean you aren't adept at asking for someone's ear when you really need it. "You'll voice your desire for more intimacy to your boyfriend or tell your family you have to talk when there's something important going on," says Rosenbach. You just don't expect others to make you their number-one priority all the time. After all, when you're your own biggest fan, you have little need for everyone else to be kissing your ass around the clock.

see, i tell people i'm fun, and i am!

Good-Time Girl
You certainly like to have fun, but you never let yourself get too wild. "You're confident enough to know that you don't always need to be the life of the party," says Leil Lowndes, author of How to Be a People Magnet. "You also know your threshold of excitement and don't force yourself to participate if it takes you too far outside your comfort zone." That's why you'd rather read up on skydiving or rappelling before agreeing to a date or factor in your work schedule as you're weighing whether to take a Costa Rican surfing trip.
Still, you could be a little more playful, optimistic and spontaneous when things don't go as planned. "Fun people know how to be flexible in social situations, which maximizes their opportunity to enjoy themselves," says Lowndes. So if you find yourself at a party alone (yes, your friends flaked...get over it), don't freak out. Instead, use it as a chance to put your mingling skills to use...and maybe walk away with a guy's number or a hot job contact.

Get your boots on! You go for the mountaineer type!

You like the outdoor sort. The strong, masculine man who's in touch with nature and extremely sporty. This low-maintenance man has a no-frills attitude, and his down-to-earth demeanour is very refreshing. He's probably well rounded and maintains a healthy balance in his life. He's not the sort to get caught up in any of life's superficialities. Another fact you love about him is that he's not a game-player. He's masculine without being laddish, and he has no tolerance for petty things. So what you see is what you get. And you definitely are charmed by the entire package! Whether it's his sense of adventure or his rugged look that melts your heart, you always fall hard for the Mountaineer.

You're tripping on karma on a Hippy Roadtrip!

Cool it man, we're not implying that you wander around with straggly hair wishing peace on everyone, but we can detect a strong element of a free spirit in you. We can see you relishing the chance to escape the modern pressures of life for a laid-back trip of a life time. A VW Beetle or CamperVan might be too much of a cliché for you, but perhaps one of the sporty SMART cars might be your perfect escape vehicle? Of course, the ultimate hippy Roadtrip has to be Goa in India, a Mecca for free spirits everywhere. We can see you watching a beautiful sunset with sand between your toes and a blissful smile on your face. The best things in life are sometimes the simplest, just as long as the sun keeps shining and you have more new interesting people to meet and places to explore!

Three Priests

Three priests were in a railroad station on their way home to Pittsburgh. Behind the ticket counter was a very sexy, shapely, well endowed woman wearing a very tight, skimpy sweater. She made the three priests very nervous, so they drew straws to determine who would get the tickets.

The first priest approached the window. "Young lady, I would like three pickets to titsburg." He completely lost his composure and fled.

The second priest goes to the window. "Young lady, I would like three tickets to Pittsburgh and I would like the change in nipples and dimes." Mortified, he too fled.

"Morons," the third priest mutters and moves to the window. "Young lady, I would like three tickets to Pittsburgh and I would like the change in nickels and dimes. And, if you insist on dressing like that, when you get to the pearly gates, St. Finger's going to shake his Peter at you."

They took a bus.
