Your alpha female score
If you picked mostly As
You strive to be first, and best, at work and in your personal life as well. You think you know best and you can't be beat when it comes to assessing most social and work situations, and sizing up how to get seated at the head of the table. You know what you want and how to get it, and aren't afraid to put in the sweat equity to get it. You know you go, Alpha-Girl!
If you picked mostly Bs
You're a heavy hitter, but unlike the full-on alpha type, you don't care to play Boss Lady all the time. After all, with leadership comes a lot of -- sigh -- expectations, and you like your freedom too much to play that game. You're fine near, not at, the top at work, and find fulfillment in your personal life. You know the modern woman's secret: it is possible to have it all, just not all at once.
If you picked mostly Cs
You're too relaxed and a bit too comfortable letting others lead the way to be mistaken for an alpha femme -- but we doubt that bothers you! While a lot of people focus on the race to the top, you're someone who knows that only a few can be leaders, and you're not going to bust your hump trying. You're having too much fun enjoying your life to stress over status.
