When it comes to your social life, do you take matters into your own hands or do are you just along for the ride? Take this quiz and find out!

1) You're at a school dance with your friends and you are so in the mood to dance. I mean, you've got this new kick butt outfit and you want to show it off. But no one's dancing. No one. What do you do?

• a) Grab a cute guy you've been eying and drag him out onto the middle of the dance floor for some serious movin' and shakin'.
• b) Grab your girl friends and make them dance with you in the corner of the dance floor.
• c) Stand on the side and wish someone else would start the dancing.

2) You're out to dinner with your friends and your waiter is totally cute. He's been flirting with you all night, and you find out he's your age and he's single. What do you do?

• a) You ask him for his phone number so you can call him. Then you do!
• b) You write your name and number on a napkin and leave it hidden under your plate. Hope he'll find it and realize you left it for him on purpose!
• c) Go home and dream about him being the one who got away.

3) The homecoming dance is coming up, and you find out there's a big after-pary that you weren't invited to. What do you do?

• a) You go to it anyway. There's so many people, no one will notice an invited guest.
• b) You host your own party. Yes, it's not as cool, but you're still having fun.
• c) You go home after the dance and watch reruns of the Love Boat and wish you were more popular.

4) The tryouts for the school musical are coming up and your crush is a shoo-in for the lead. Unfortunately, you can't sing. At all. But there's a non-singing part that you're dying to have. The catch? You still have to do the vocal auditions in front of everyone, even though you are such a bad singer that you'll get laughed off the stage. What do you do?

• a) You try out anyway and encourage everyone to laugh at you. Why not? You suck. Might as well admit it. You aren't going to let a little public humiliation keep you from getting what you want.
• b) You corner the drama teacher between classes and beg her to let you skip the vocal tryouts because you really and truly can't sing.
• c) You blame your parents for bad genes. How could they curse you with the inability to sing?

5) In June, your friends all decide to go out for cross-country in the fall. Why not? They get to ride the bus with all the boys on the boys team. Unfortunately, you've never run a day in your life and there's no way you'll make the team. What do you do?

• a) You start running five miles a day the very next day. You will make the team with them, even if you get stress fractures in the process.
• b) You start trying to get in shape slowly. You have all summer, and if you only make JV, that's okay. You'll meet boys there too and make some new friends.
• c) You spend the summer on the coach eating popsicles thinking how you hate all athletes.

6) You're at the mall with some friends and you see this totally AWESOME pair of shoes that you simply MUST have, but they are way out of your price range. What do you do?*

• a) Use the "emergency only" credit card your mom gave you. A fashion emergency definitely qualifies, don't you think?
• b) You make a deal with your parents: you do a bunch of odd jobs for them aroudn the house (um, that would be chores. Ugh!) and they'll foot the bill for the shoes.
• c) You buy a triple scoop ice cream and spend the afternoon on a bench staring longingly at the store, hoping the store manager will take pity and give them to you.

  Scoring:

  Mostly A's: Watch out world, here you come! You control your own destiny! You are an action-packed diva who creates fun wherever she goes. If you want it, you'll get it. Watch out though that you don't take things too far.

  Mostly B's: You are the queen of take-control and balance. You know what you want and you'll go after it-within reason. A perfect balance of assertiveness and smart head on your shoulders. Enjoy yourself! You know how to make things happen.

  Mostly C's: Life is passing you by! While you're sitting in the window yearning for excitement and cool stuff, you're missing out. Unfortunately, it's up to you to make things better. If you want around for someone to knock on your door and give you what you want, it's never going to happen (or at least it will take a really, really long time). Grab a friend to give you courage and step out of your comfort zone. You might be surprised at how much good stuff comes your way!
