Quiz: Which aromatherapy scents can help you?

By
Kama Lee Jackson

Discover the fragrances you can use to complement your personality or to help deal with a particular mood

1. When you woke up this morning, the first thought that popped into your head was:
A.    I’d better get going—and fast—or I’ll be late
B.    One thought? Try 10 thoughts all at once—I can’t keep it all straight!
C.    Ugh. How long until I can crawl back into bed?
D.    I really don’t feel like facing everyone today.

2. Some days it feels like you need to channel someone else to be as successful as you want to be. Who would it be?
A.    Gwyneth Paltrow, or any movie star with a maid, cook, driver, personal trainer, nanny and personal assistant: Who has time to do it all themselves?
B.    Madonna: She really has her act together and gets a lot done
C.    Drew Barrymore: I could use some of her energy and spirit
D.    Iman: I need a bit more confidence and presence

3. If you had a personal theme song, what would it be?

A.    ‘Manic Monday’ by The Bangles
B.    ‘I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For’ by U2
C.    ‘Brian Wilson’ by the Barenaked Ladies
D.    ‘Creep’ by Radiohead

4. You are up against a task that you are SO not in the mood for. You:
A.    Add it to the list of a million other things you have to do
B.    Give it your best shot, but end up surfing the web, flipping through a magazine, making a phone call—distractions are everywhere!
C.    Sigh and put your head in your hands until you can face it
D.    Ask a few people for their thoughts on the best way to approach it

5. Your idea of a perfect evening would be:
A.    Four hours of absolutely nothing to do—not that you could ever sit around and do nothing!
B.    Dinner and a good catch-up chat with friends
C.    I’m not really in the mood to go out—snacks, my couch and the TV sounds perfect to me
D.    It’s so tough to decide—I’m happy with whatever everyone else wants to do

6. How would you describe your perfect vacation?
A.    I don’t go away often, so I go wherever I can get the most bang for my buck—learn about a new culture, lots of sights to see, activities to do—with Internet access, of course
B.    Hard to say what I’ll be in the mood for, so somewhere that offers me lots of choices—maybe some yoga on the beach, some fun classes and lots of great restaurants to pick from
C.    Somewhere with as much sunshine as I can possibly soak up in a day.
D.    Anything, really. I’ll be happy as long as I have good company with me.

7. You couldn’t live without:

A.    Several cups of coffee a day
B.    A creative outlet or two
C.    The reminder function on your Blackberry
D.    Your best friends’ advice

8. Your personality pet peeve is:
A.    People who knock off work bang on at 5 p.m.
B.    Those who value rationale above emotion at all costs
C.    Little Miss Mary Sunshine
D.    Anyone who tries to control a situation or acts bossy

9. Your home office is:
A.    Filled with dozens of job-specific file folders and memory sticks and a television so I can work and watch at the same time
B.    Piles of opened mail, loose photographs, loads of paper scraps with old phone messages on them that I can’t find when I need them, and an old coffee mug
C.    Who knows?  I try to ignore the mess in hopes that it will go away
D.    Self-help and how-to books, newspaper reviews of various things, and a telephone so that I can call friends and family whenever I need inspiration

10. Your family, friends and colleagues would vote you:
A.    Most Likely to Succeed
B.    Most Likely to Invent Something
C.    Most Likely  to Put You In Your Place
D.    Most Likely to Be a Loyal Sidekick

    Cool - I'm not much of a "scents" person, shall we say, but it's pretty interesting to see what you would be....

    I'm so all over the map, in fact I had 3 B's, 3 C's and 3 D's. I figure I need a lot of help, so I tried to figure out what was a common scent in all three categories.
