Buckets

  1. 1

    <strong>Mostly As:</strong> Congratulations! You are <strong>ALEX!</strong> You're dashing and smart and apparently the entire female readership of Heat want to sleep with you. Whether this will actually help in a business career is yet to be determined, but whether you'll have time for a business career in- between modeling shoots is debatable anyway

  2. 2

    <strong>Mostly Bs:</strong> Congratulations! You are <strong>CLAIRE!</strong> You're ambitious, and determined, and find yourself strongly drawn to neckerchiefs for no discernible reason. Naturally loud and gregarious, you're willing to tame your verbal excesses if it means getting the job you want, but will probably apply for Big Brother again if it doesn't

  3. 3

    <strong>Mostly Cs:</strong> Commiserations! You are <strong>HELENE!</strong> You're quite nice, and people don't find you offensive, but you've had a terrible life, poor love. Still, you've managed to get this far, and it's a testament to your professionalism and Global Pricing Leadership that you have, so well done you. You prove to the world that if you put your mind to it, anything is possible (except possibly knowing what 'Global Pricing Leader' actually means)

  4. 4

    <strong>Mostly Ds:</strong> YOU ARE <strong>LEE!</strong> You're rough and rugged and all manner of other words beginning with 'r' - including 'ruthlessly' ambitious, 'really' loud and 'ready' for your marvellous career in business and all the 'riches' that may bring. And you will get them just as soon as you stop doing that 'ridiculous' impression of a prehistoric winged mammal, alright? Stop it
