RESULTS

Mostly A’s: Hermione Granger

A for our all-time favourite A-star student! You’re smart and inquisitive – even if that makes you the odd one out at times, and you always manage to get your friends out of tough situations because of your smarts. So, you do you and keep pursuing what you love best!


Mostly B’s: Wonder Woman

Although you’re dazzling and strong, you’re humble and just. While the bad guys can never escape you, you always prefer to choose peace over conflict. So, as you’re out saving the world, don’t forget to recharge and make time for some self-love too!

Mostly C’s: Katniss Everdeen

You’re always stepping up to challenges and fighting to protect those around you. Your strong sense of justice, resilience and confidence against all odds make you a very attractive person. Younger girls also look up to you for your strength and kindness. 

Mostly D’s: Eleanor Young

Beneath a steely veneer is simply a loving mother who puts her family first and would do anything to protect her son. This means that you’re defensive about your pack and best of all, not afraid to command a presence. You are confident, decisive and won’t be swayed by other people’s opinions. Plus, kudos for keeping everything together without a single crease on all your power outfits! 

Mostly E’s: Jo March

You’re a bit of a day-dreamer but extremely intelligent and curious about the world around you. Romance hardly fazes you – you’d rather focus on pursuing your interests. Although you are bookish, you’re also a huge adventurer. You’re mature, a fighter, and you make well thought out decisions. You go girl!
