How You Describe Yourselves

You are undoubtedly versatile and eclectic individuals. Of the 168 people who responded to this question, only 55 chose one way to describe themselves. Sixty-one chose two descriptions, 38 chose three, ten chose four, and one person chose everything but "passing through" and put in the "Other" box, "I try to get as much into my life, in every way, every day."
