About This Quiz

Your body language says a lot, and your words say even more. However, there's also an emotional language that you speak which drives your every move and aids in your every decision. You might think you know which emotion rules your world, but you should be sure so that you never go down the wrong path. 

No matter what logic tells us, our hearts speak on their own. Somewhere deep inside each of us is an emotion that is the first place we go when we are rattled. It's also the emotion that rules our communications with others. While some people speak from a place of closeness, others are distant and make choices without becoming too involved. 

As you answer your way through this quiz, we are going to get to the bottom of the emotion that rules the way you approach the world. Every answer you give us about yourself and about the way you respond to a few different situations will put us one step closer to figuring out which of your emotions is the emotion you most often convey to the world. 

Do you come off like an angry bird looking for a French fry, or are you more like a singing lark in the morning? Answer our probing questions, and your dominant emotional language will be clear!
