The bits with stars vary for every individual.
This quiz will show everyone what their strengths and their weaknesses are, and help them to better identify themselves and improve themselves as well. Remember that God has given everyone different gifts, so dont be jealous of others and what they have =).

The "answer sheet" will be posted on a later day, probably friday =D.
