What Kind of First Impression Do You Make?

There are many situations in life that are welcomed by some, however, others consider them a curse. Meeting new people for the first time is one of those situations when there are those who thrive and flourish in an environment with people they don’t know seeing it as an opportunity to make new friends, while a shyer person would prefer to keep to themselves, stick to their close friends and not rush to make new connections. These tendencies affect the way others perceive us, especially our first time meeting them. So if you don’t know what kind of first impression you make, take this quiz and find out.
