28 16 26 30
I got 28, 16, 26, 30. The otter is my weakest category and probably because I remember the classroom setting the best while growing up. They were like the class clowns to me and when the teacher kicked them out, I was terrified of getting yelled at too. Therefore, when the teacher was having a bad day and then lectured everybody to let out his or her anger issues, I seriously hated my class sometimes (laughter intended).
I've learned to be assertive with angry people and trying to resolve conflicts over the smallest things in the past was a pain, but it gave me valuable people experience. I have accepted long ago that I'm not a very influential guy from face value and prioritized my life in this fashion but I do enjoy having deep relationships with friends and forming new ones as well. Quite possibly, the day I'm able to put it all together will be the time that I'm able to attract positive energy from a general crowd.
