Mostly As: You were a bully. Back in school, you were the one beating people up and taking their things. You loved sports and anything athletic and you excelled at physical feats. Although a little lacking in the brains department, there was no one you couldn't handle. Your so-called friends sucked up to you and you were notorious for having a nasty temper and an even nastier right hand.

Mostly Bs: You were a loser. Basically good-for-nothing, you often spent your school days alone and lonely or with other losers like you. You had no interests and no skills. Not good at studies and not good at sports either, you fit in with no one. Although you were alone most of the time, you did enjoy your own company. You would often spend hours daydreaming and creating elaborate plots for imaginary people, hence, your love of The Sims.

Mostly Cs: You were a geek. A nerd is what you were. Lacking any sporting skills at all, you often were relegated to being picked last for any kind of physical activity. You preferred books and comics to outdoor activities. You were in your element as a mathelete and treasurer of the chess club. Role-playing games were your favourite video games and you had an unhealthy fixation with the heroines of such games.

Mostly Ds: You were a know-it-all. Most often an undesired irritant, throughout your school life you never realised how unwanted you were. You pretended to know everything and lectured everyone else on what you thought was right. Even when you didn't know the answer to the question, you'd raise your hand anyway. You were sycophantic and sucked-up to your teachers. You had opinions on everything and excelled at sounding more important than you actually ever were.
