About This Quiz

There is so much a single personality can hold. From your complex thought process on how to solve problems creatively to your ability to ignore people who are annoying or antagonizing you, your layers build up over the years, and you learn how to reveal them to people. 

For example, if you have a crazy layer down near your core, you may find that you can keep that one hidden from the outside world until you're ready to show it off in all it's weird, neurotic glory. On the other hand, if you don't think you have a crazy layer, you might go ahead and expose it without even knowing what you're doing to the people around you. Either way, your personality is made up of layers, and it's important for you to know what those layers are and how to use them to your advantage (and when to reveal them to the people you meet). 

Layers are a great metaphor to tell us how deep a person truly is. If you're unsure how many layers you might have, take some time to answer these questions, and we'll let you know exactly how many layers you have, when to expose them, when to hide them, and how to use them to your advantage.
