•You’re an all American who loves baseball, Mom and apple pie.•You’re a cheerleader for your program, level-headed, a good PR person and a fundraiser.•You’re also kind, thoughtful, and always remember everyone’s birthday. You’re nurturing, dependable, loyal, and help others to “shine”. •Others often turn to you for help.

Hershey’s Dark Chocolate

You’re a patient thoughtful individualist and problem-solver.

You like to see a project through from start to finish.

You’re a good grant writer and work well with difficult people.

Your are reflective and insightful. You have little patience for incompetence or

liars. You set high standards for yourself and others. You are dependable, resourceful, and loyal.

mr. Goodbar

You’re analytical and logical. You gather data first before giving an opinion,

play the devil’s advocate at meetings, tend to see all the possibilities and drive people crazy by sharing all the “what ifs”.

You hate deadlines and put off starting things; you’re a procrastinator.

You like to be the expert but in your own time frame.

You can analyze things to death. You like there to be rules that everyone follows. You like a lot of structure and hate surprises.

Krackel

You’re creative, optimistic, always see the cup as half full.

You’re messy (messy desk or classroom) but organized (eventually find missing item or believe you will).

You like to be a hands-on person. You’re a little off-beat, ditzy, funny, friendly and

outgoing person who is always willing to help. You like the surprising things in life, the

“krackel”. You like situations that allow flexibility, change,

and growth.
